37、red bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user.

38、trainers or to travel around the city. However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的 ) parking, vandalism( 故意毁 坏) and theft( 偷窃 ).

43、take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she always gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “ Hard work is not the whole story. It s not how long you sit at the desk with y
44、our books open. It s what you do as you are sitting.” In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions. If your math teacher gives you five exercises, you should do six. If your Chinese teacher gives eight pages o
45、f reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn. Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with.

48、will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you manage your time. The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an A. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy( 乱糟糟的 ) ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to make fewer mistakes. 61 on making your studies better Passage outline Supporting details Do more than you are asked Do more than what your tea
