As we drove off from Columbia University，I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind．
College will be the most important years in your life．It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about．I encourage you to be inquisitive，but I also want to tell you：\．\mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject，and the ability to analyze a new problem．That is really what learning in college is about﹣this will be the period where you go from teacher﹣taught to master﹣inspired，after which you must become a self﹣learner．So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life，the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn．
Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college．Take courses you think you will enjoy．Don't be trapped in what others think or say．
Most importantly，make friends and be happy．College friends are often the best in life．Pick a few friends and become really close to them﹣pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you．People are not perfect，so as long as they are genuine and sincere，trust them and be good to them．They will give back．This is my secret of success﹣that I am genuine with people and trust them （unless they do something to lose my trust）．
Please treasure your college years﹣make the best of your free time，become an independent thinker in control of your destiny，be bold to experiment，learn and grow through your successes and challenges．May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life，and may you blossom into just what you dream to be． Love，
Dad （ Mom）

25．As the proverb goes，man struggles upwards； water flows downwards．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams，to rivers and to oceans．But downhill isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from
country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of\．
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops，according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra．He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．
For example，consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half﹣liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water﹣about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients（原料）．Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling．In Hoekstra's calculation，when one country produces a half﹣liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．
According to Hoekstra's new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East，get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products．More surprisingly，some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．

29．Though many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame，Yan Mingliang，27，has dreamed of joining the Internet elite（精英） ever since he entered college． However，luck didn't favor him．Instead，fame fell into the lap of his pet dog，Beiji．In early 2015，Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground，and they went viral on social media．Because he took the photos at a strange angle，it almost looks like Beiji's body has fallen apart．
Finally，Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity，or more accurately，the owner of an Internet celebrity dog．New followers started to flood in，and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day．In less than four weeks，Yan managed to attract more than 20，000followers．\．\at that time．
