The right answer is:

 

leaf.

(a leaf is not only one of those green thingies that grow on trees and plants; another meaning is page (in a book.) This last meaning is meant here.)

Note: You can also say: Take a leaf from someone’s book.

Here are some examples of how you can use it:

I took a leaf out of Peter’s book and began my day with drinking two glasses of water.

I should also take a leaf out of his book at the end of the day and not forget to brush my teeth!

Students who have taken a leaf out of the instructors’s book have been doing very well for themselves.
