14.Today many people live longer lives with more physical and mental strength.The"life cycle"from childhood to adulthood and into older age is different from previous generations.How are ideas about the life cycle changing?
One American writer,Gail Sheehy,has identified some new trends in the life cycle.She separates life into decades,10-year sections.Her definitions are optimistic and positive,and they may help people understand themselves as they grow older.
The ages between twenty and thirty are times of experimentation.People in their twenties try many new things with a lot of energy.They search for a path for their lives.Their responsibilities are not usually serious,and they can experiment with lifestyles choices.But when they become thirty,they pass to a stage called"First Adulthood."In this stage of life,people begin to think for themselves.They become independent and more ambitious.They begin to define themselves within society.
In the next stage of life,the forties,people begin to prepare themselves for leadership positions.Gail Sheehy sees people in their forties as working hard.They want to be successful.They have to take care of their families and begin to be masters of their work and themselves.She calls moving from this stage into the fifties the passage to the"Age of Mastery."People in fifties have new positive feeling.They begin to see different things they can do with their lives.They become adventurers.They also begin to question their values.They want to live their lives better,with more truth.They struggle to understand the world and themselves.
She calls the next stage the"Age of Integrity."When people become sixty,they want to live their lives with real values.They work to keep their minds active.They recommit themselves to their families with love.They begin to take some active risk-taking for the future.It is a time of real maturity.Ms.Sheehy calls people in their seventies wise,people in their eighties free,and those in their nineties noble.The life cycle Ms.Sheehy writes about is long and hopeful.

16.According to Gail Sheehy,the life cycleB.
A.goes through 3stages
B.can be divided into different ages lasting ten years long
C.helps people understand themselves better.

2.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 500 ml 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."

B.advise readers to live a carefree life
C.direct readers'attention to the topic of drinking

B.Drinking atmosphere and alcohol quality.
C.Cultural differences and measuring methods.
D.Research results and alcohol-related health problems.
30.What may be the best title for the passage?BA.How Can Drinking Be Safe?
