not everyone is on the same page.a general practitioner from scotland says that health advice is “thoroughly debunked nonsense” and is propagated by bottled water companies out to make a profit.in a commentary published online in the british medical journal，margaret mccartney quotes experts that say drinking too much water can cause hyponatremia(low sodium levels in the blood)and expose people to pollutants.experts were quick to pounce on the commentary as being misleading.the article hadnt been peerreviewed，pointed out thomas sanders，a professor from kings college london.sanders wrote in a reply on the bmj website：“appropriate hydration is particularly important for the elderly and the very young and for most people it is better to obtain most fluid intake from water，whether bottled or tap water，than from other beverages.”maccartney focused on the more whacky(不同寻常的)claims made for water and appeared to cherry pick her references to make a story.while the headlines duke it out，its worth offering as refresherhow much water do we need every day？the answer isnt cut and dry，says an article by the mayo clinic，and depends on your exercise level，health conditions and the heat and humidity of your environment.in general，the institute of medicine recommends about nine cups of beverages for women and 13 cups for men.the mayo clinic offers another way to assess if youre getting enough h2o：“if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce 1.5 liters(6.3 cups)or more of colorless of slightly yellow urine a day，your fluid intake is probably adequate.”the issue of too much water surfaces among athletes，especially marathon runners.hyponatremia(低钠血症)is a real concern when replacing the water lost during sweatingtoo much water，and the salt imbalance in the body can cause cells to swell with water，which is particularly dangerous for brain cells.hyponatremia symptoms include confusion，nausea(恶心)and convulsions，according to medlineplus.it can also occur in the elderly and hospitalized patients.some 3.2 to 6.1 million patients get hyponatremia each year，and the condition is associated with congestive heart failure and cancer.【解题导语】

money cant buy happiness，but many times we act as if we were happier with a bit more money.we are conditioned to want to be rich(when we know the rich arent happy either)；we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want；we want to earn more money because then well have a good life.but none of them will bring us happiness.no matter how much we earn，no matter how much we have in the bank，no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys，none of them will make us happier.and the sad thing is that it could take us decades to pursue wealth and luxurious items before we realize this.so what will bring us happiness？luckily，its these three things that dont cost a thing.these three things have been proven by surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have，what their lives are like，and how happy they are.here they are，the three secrets to happiness：1good relationships.we have a human need to be close to and to be intimate with other human beings.having good and supportive friendships，a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy.action steps：take time，today，to spend time with your loved ones，to tell them what they mean to you，to listen to them，and to develop your relationships with them.2positive thinking.im obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals，and it turns out that it can lead to happiness too.optimism and selfesteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives.happy people feel empowered，take control of their lives，and have a positive outlook on life. action steps：make positive thinking a habit.in fact，this should be one of the first habits you develop.get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones.instead of “i cant”think “i can”it may sound silly，but it works for me，every time.3flow.this is a popular concept on the internet these daysa state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us.we are so buried in our task that we lose track of time.having work and leisure that get you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness.people find greatest enjoyment not when theyre passively mindless，but when theyre absorbed in a mindful challenge.action steps：find work that you have a passion for.seriouslythis is an extremely important step.find hobbies that you have a passion for.turn off the tvthis is the opposite of flowand go outside and do something that truly engages you.youve been given the three secrets to happiness.dont waste them!【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者阐述了金钱和财富不会给人们带来幸福的观点，同时就如何得到幸福这个问题给我们提供了三个秘诀。21which of the follwing is the most proper title of this passage?athe
