解析：

(1)	spend time doing sth．是固定结构，意思是“把时间花在做……上”。
(2)	倒装句。“so＋倒装句”表示“另一个人或物的情况与前面相同”。
(3)	anywhere用于否定句中。
(4)	据上下文可知，作者服从了父亲的安排并获得了良好的成绩。
(5)	学校允许我学习法律和商业。allow sb to do sth．“允许某人做某事”。
(6)	never…anything＝nothing．
(7)	我想退学，显然父母不会同意，其他不合题意。
(8)	“不能等到人老了才做自己愿做的事”。
(9)	下文finished Harvard提供了回来学习的信息，因而为go back to school。
(10)	这句话是作者对自己生活的疑惑。
(11)	本句意思是啤酒很贵，但质量不佳。
(12)	上文提到Americans高价买质量不好的啤酒，故本句为Americans制造高质量啤酒。
(13)	从下文可知，作者要放弃原来的工作，成为酿酒人。
(14)	当我告诉父亲时，他对我的想法不是很满意或感兴趣，而是奇怪，因为文章一开始就告诉我们作者的父亲不想让他成为酿酒人。
(15)	but表转折，表明最后他同意和支持我，故答案为B。
(16)	name sth after为一固定搭配。after有“根据、依据”的意思。
(17)	also“而且”，作者首先给他的啤酒起了一个好名字，同时又直销给喝酒人。
(18)	把“酒的名字”传出去，使这一“name”有了名气。
(19)	从后面的几句话可知，作者是在给读者“忠告”，advice“忠告、劝告、建议”。
(20)	从“不要急于做决定”，可知作者是想表达“人的一生很长久”的意思，所以也就有了“生活不一定按你的计划进行”。
