Let’s look back all these years you’ve gone through, what have you done for your life? Are you spending your time wisely to make your life worthwhile? Neal Wu shared some ways we should do to make our short time of life meaningful, find out what you need to do next:
a. Make friends as opposed to networking
Your friends will go a lot further than the professional contacts you make, especially since only one of the two groups is invested in your personal happiness.
b. Become an expert by learning as much as you can and deeply seeking out the things you are curious about
Find the things you enjoy and practice the skills you want to develop. If you can achieve expertise then it will be easy to obtain an audience.
c. Volunteer to help out those less fortunate
In the process you will gain a ton of new perspective and will better understand other people’s real problems. In a society that always looks upward, these people are being forgotten easily.
d. Become as independent as possible
Even though you work in a big company, you should constantly make small steps to reduce your dependence on your job. Write a book, build an app, or start a small business on the side. Release your inner entrepreneur.
e. Don’t spend too much time worrying about your personal brand
Accomplish(完成) things, and the recognition will follow.
f. Stop treating life as a competition and do things for their own sake
Genuine(真正的) interest should be what drives you to improve yourself, rather than a desire to beat others. Find a community of people who are interested in the same things as you do, and drive each other to keep improving.

Like many Czechs (捷克人), Luká? Bern?, 38, enjoys going out to the pub with his friends for conversation and a few beers. “I don’t drink every day,” he says. “I think about three times a week. When I go out, I usually have five to six beers at a time, about the same as my friends.” The beers are half-liters, or 500ml each.
If a half-liter of four-percent beer contains 16g of pure alcohol(酒精), Bern? and his friends are drinking 80 to 96 grams of pure alcohol on each outing. The Czech Republic’s National Institute of Public Health, however, suggests that men take in fewer than 24g of pure alcohol per day; women, fewer than 16g.
Medical experts in over 40 countries around the world have agreed that drinking “too much” can cause harm. What they can’t seem to agree upon is just how much is “too much.” National safety levels are quite different, from a limit of 10g a day in the Netherlands to Denmark’s 60g.
There are a number of reasons for this. Dr. Larry Altshuler, a medicine expert for the Cancer Treatment Centers in Tulsa, explains that while everything is based on research, “Every group, race, and gender responds to alcohol differently.”
Also, researchers aren’t using the same models or methods. He adds, “It can be like apples and oranges. How do you measure alcohol? Units, drinks, bottles or cans? What’s the alcohol content(含量)? Is it light or heavy?” While a half-liter of four percent beer contains 16g of pure alcohol, a half-liter of five percent lager contains 20g.
Constance Scharff, a director of Addiction Research at Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center in California, says she believes the reason “is largely cultural.” “But the evidence is clear that the more you drink, the more likely you are to develop alcohol-related health problems.”
1.The first paragraph is intended to ________.
A. describe the habit of Luká? Bern?
B. advise readers to live a carefree life
C. direct readers’ attention to the topic of drinking
D. support the popular belief that Czechs fancy drinking
2.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A. the alcohol limit for Czechs
B. the measurement of alcohol content
C. the concern over the harmful effects of drinking
D. the difference in national safety levels of alcohol
3.According to the passage, what might determine the national safety standards of alcohol?
A. Drinking length and alcohol containers.
B. Drinking atmosphere and alcohol quality.
C. Cultural differences and measuring methods.
D. Research results and alcohol-related health problems.
4.What may be the best title for the passage?
A. How Can Drinking Be Safe?
B. How Much Alcohol Is Too Much?
C. Why Does Alcohol Do Harm to Health?
D. What Harm Will Alcohol Cause to Us?
