21、Most of us could stand to drink more water—but there is too much of a good thing. Though most people look out for the signs of dehydration (脱水), over-hydration (水分过多)is equally dangerous.
You never leave the house without a water bottle and always have one in hand.
If you carry around your water bottle all day and immediately refill it when it is emptied, you may be drinking too much water. Adding water to your body from time to time can result in low sodium levels in your blood, which can cause all of the cells in your body to swell (肿胀). 【1】 Your brain can only swell about 8% to 10%.
Your muscles feel weak and tend to cramp (抽筋)easily.
Having a healthy, fully functioning body is all about balance. When you drink too much water, your electrolyte (电解液)levels drop and that balance is affected. 【2】 You can prevent muscle problems by replacing a couple glasses of water a day with coconut water. It is full of electrolytes and 100 percent natural.
【3】
Your kidneys are responsible for dealing with the water you drink through your body and making sure the fluid levels in your bloodstream stay balanced. When you drink too much water, your kidneys have to work even harder, creating a stressful reaction from your hormones that leaves your body stressed.
You have headaches throughout the day.
【4】 When you drink too much water, the salt concentration in your blood reduces, causing the cells in the organs throughout your body to swell. When your salt concentration is low, your cells grow. When you drink too much water, your brain actually grows in size and presses against the skull. 【5】
A.You feel tired and stressed.
B.You’ve added unneeded stress to your body.
C.Low electrolyte levels can cause muscle cramp.
D.Headaches are both a sign of over-hydration and dehydration.
E.This can become particularly dangerous when your brain starts to swell.
F.This added pressure can cause a headache and more serious health problems.
G.You're always drinking water and find yourself struggling to get out of bed.

23、Michael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book about the Vietnam War. It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches, in part because he went home from Saigon with a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a journalist for Esquire magazine. An American general asked him whether he was there to write about military fashion and humor. No. He wrote little for Esquire, but took advantage of the US government’s decision to allow journalists extraordinary access to go to war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnessed their death and recorded their language.
His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled, captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields. He recorded with a connoisseur’s expertise (行家专长) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.
The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr’s insistence on describing the war, or more precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting against it. It also comes from the ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music — more particularly rock music, and especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drug-fuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon, staring at an ancient French map of Indochina. He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the “upper” (兴奋剂) officially administered by the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of “downers” (镇定剂) to get them through it.
Dispatches did not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other problems, but it did more, perhaps, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914 —1918 did in Britain.
Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. His work, in the book and the two films, has been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history no longer merely through traditional literature, but in sounds and images.
【1】Why did Michael Herr go to Vietnam during the war years?
A. To join the soldiers in military actions.

A. It truly reflects Herr’s responses to the war.
B. Music and drugs give the author inspiration.

D. It fully describes Herr’s protest against the war.
【3】US soldiers brought drugs with them during the war most probably because .
A. they suffered stress disorder
B. they were addicted to drugs
C. they used them to cure the wounds
D. they exchanged them for music records
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Herr directed two influential Vietnam films.
B. Herr’s work played a positive role in traditional literature.
C. Herr stopped writing after the book Dispatches was published.
D. Herr’s work offered Americans more ways to know themselves.
24、 Although not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo (纳瓦霍人) youth. They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least having a big part in raising them.
Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions.
The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.
The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions.
I live with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.
We used to plant com and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, “Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.” I did not understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her. She said, “Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by.” We had some beautiful years together. I am glad she is a part of me and I am a part of her.
Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, tradition, and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.

_________, Becky got up and kissed the wolf on the nose before she walked slowly into my arms. Sad yellow eyes followed her. With Becky safe in my arms, I ran to get help.
My husband, Bill, and our vet (兽医) came to see the wolf and they found his__________was really bad—his leg was wounded by bullets. With the assistance of Becky, the vet__________him carefully.
Becky named him Ralph and carried food and water to him every day. The wolf’s recovery was not__________. Seeing the way he__________his injured leg, we knew he__________great pain, but not once did he ever try to bite the hands of those who cared for him.
