“Can I have a glass of hot water?” This is a very common question for Chinese customers in a 1 .But if you go abroad, you may find that meals in the West tend to come with tall glasses of ice water. Are you curious about this 2 ?
For most Chinese people, drinking hot water is part of everyday life. More importantly, it is strongly 3 with traditional Chinese culture. One idea suggests that water of a warm temperature (25—30℃) is good for people’s health, especially for the 4 . It also helps to stop digestion(消化) problems.
But for many Western people, they drink cold water even in 5 . One possible reason is that in Western countries people can drink water 6 from the tap(水龙头), rather than having to boil it. After 7 , it’s normal to jump into a cold shower to bring the heart rate down.
8 , there is one common thing encouraged by both the East and the West: One can cool down by drinking a 9 drink in summer. As sweating(出汗) is a good way to cool off in summer, hot drink makes you hotter and you begin to sweat.

Passage 1
When it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me, if it zips(拉上), it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When Mom told me something didn’t suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.
To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚) last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse, my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming. “You need a bigger size,” she said.
There was no bigger size. I tried to hold back my tears. Maybe I could buy it alone, of course, but my mom is my favourite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me.
And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful!”she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.
This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the arguments in the past ended. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.
A few weeks later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on.
And during those few weeks, Mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship.
