Why do you need study skills? Because they will make it e31． for you to learn and do better in class, especially as you move up to middle school and high school.

◆Pay attention in class  Do you have d32． in paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Is it hard to see the blackboard? Make sure you’re sitting in a good seat that makes you pay attention. Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is stopping you from paying attention and taking good notes.

◆Take good notes   Not sure how to take notes? Start by writing down facts that your teacher m33． or writes on the blackboard in class.

Your brain needs time to digest (消化) all the i39． you’ve given it. Try to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll be s40． by what comes back to you in the morning!

The pirates did not return. After lunch, the doctor took his pistol and sword. He put the map in his pocket and left. He wanted to find Ben Gunn. 

It was very hot and unpleasant inside the fort. I had a plan and I needed to leave the fort. I took two pistols(手枪) and left q41． when Gray and the squire were with the captain. 

First I ran down to the white rocks and looked for Ben Gunn’s boat. I soon f42． it under some bushes. It was a simple boat, made out of branches (树枝) and goat skins, and it was very l43． to carry. I decided to wait u44． it was dark and row to the Hispaniola. I wanted to cut the ship adrift, leaving it to float(漂流) with the currents. As I waited, I could see the pirates’ fire b45． and out on the water the lights on the ship. 

As soon as it was dark, I got into the boat and rowed out to the Hispaniola. I found the rope that c46． the ship to the anchor and cut through it with my knife until the ship was free. As I did this, I could h47． the angry voices of Israel Hands and another mutineer in a cabin above me. 

The ship began to move away in the night air. 

By then I was so t48． that I fell asleep and dreamed of home and the Admiral Benbow. When I awoke, I found m49． at the south-west end of Treasure Island. I was only about 300 metres from the shore. When I l50． quietly in the bottom of the boat, it moved perfectly over the water. But as soon as I sat up, the boat went out of control. So I lay down, and used the paddle from that position. I moved slowly closer to the land, but the current was strong and the boat moved past the bay.
