A fever—defined as an increase in body temperature over 37.3℃—is a common sign of illness. But recently, it has caught uncommon attention: It can be a sign of catching COVID-19. Whatever the cause, here are some things you should remember if you develop a fever.

Don’t drink certain drinks. Alcohol, soda and caffeinated（含咖啡因的）drinks should be avoided when you have a fever. 【小题1】

Do not dress too warmly or put yourself in a place that is too hot. This can influence the body’s ability to regulate its temperature and make your fever worse.

【小题2】 Although fever-reducing medicines are very useful for treating fever, taking more than the recommended amount can lead to serious harm to your heath and even death.

Don’t stay hungry. The old saying “Those with a cold should eat, while those with a fever should eat nothing” is wrong and dangerous. Fever speeds up your metabolism（新陈代谢）. 【小题3】 Hunger also reduces the body’s ability to fight off disease.

Don’t forget to drink water. 【小题4】 The body also sweats more as it regulates its temperature. In addition, people usually drink less water when they have a fever, which will finally cause the body to lose water faster.

There are two paths (路) in life: Should and Must. We arrive at these crossroads again and again. And each time, we have to choose.

Should is how others want us to show up in the world—what we should or shouldn’t do. When we choose Should, we’re choosing to live our life for someone or something other than ourselves. The journey to Should can be smooth, and the risk is small.

Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest self. Must is why Van Gogh painted his whole life without ever receiving public recognition (认可). Must is why Reyna Marder Gentin started to write for the first time after 23 years of being a lawyer.

Choosing Must sounds fantastic, right? To choose Must is to say yes to hard work and endless effort, to say yes to a journey without a road map or tour guides.

How can we actually choose Must?

Ask yourself, “What is my Must?” If you don’t know the answer, write down your biggest, most impossible dreams! Don’t worry! It’s just the first step.

Now, think about what’s actually in your way. Is it your parents? Maybe they’re just worried that you haven’t thought it through. Try to make a practical plan for what you want to do. Your parents may find it a good one. Is it money? Well, the best way to make money is to do what you love because it’s very likely that you will pay great attention to it. Choosing Must doesn’t mean we need to give up everything we already have. It’s about changing one small thing at a time.

If you believe that you have something special inside of you, it’s about time you give Must a try—today.
