Knowing the best way to study will help you to be a better student. By using your time properly,you can do your homework more quickly. Leaming to study is not difficult

before you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books: be sure you understand what you should learn before you start: read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things: when memorizing, first find out the main parts and then recite the whole thing: check your homework after you

First it was jogging. Then aerobics(有氧运
动) .Not too long ago,Americans discovered race walking.
Now Americans are into a new fitness craze. Theyare taking up bicycling. Over hills and down mountain sides and across quiet country roads,Americans are busily rolling along.
The number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million,an increase of 70 percent over four
years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the sport. Americans are falling in love with
biking because it has speed, the benefits of jogging and be
autiful scenery.Bicycling is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their knees while jogging
or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a real awakening for people who havebeen into race walking in the past. Race walking is as dull as watching paint dry.
The most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the mountain bike, which
has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles. Mountain bikes also have many gears(齿轮)to
make it easier to climb hills. About 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200,000 who rode them only five years ago.
Costs range from about $130 for a bottom-of-the-line bicycle to more than $2, 700 for an expensive bicycle.
Mountain biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a bat out ofhell. But
most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from home. The biking craze has brought an unexpected profit to clothing and bicycle accessory(附属
品)makers.Last year, bikers paid $630 million for biking clothes and accessories Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth.

hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a military,'s medal by the French government.
In 1918. Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helen was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.
Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia( 白血
病)because of her work with radioactivity. Irene Joliot Curie died from leukemia on March I7.1956
