Water 
Read a short passage about how the simplest drink became essential for life and well-being. 
1.1
Water is a drink that we need every day.  It is clear and tastes like nothing.  But water is super important for our bodies to work well.  We drink water to quench our thirst and to keep us healthy. 

A água é uma bebida que precisamos todos os dias. É clara e não tem sabor. Mas a água é super importante para o nosso corpo funcionar bem. Bebemos água para saciar a nossa sede e para nos mantermos saudáveis.

1.2
People have been drinking water since ancient times.  In the old days, they drank water from rivers and wells.  They knew water was good for them, even though they did not understand why. 

As pessoas têm bebido água desde os tempos antigos. Nos velhos tempos, eles bebiam água de rios e poços. Eles sabiam que a água era boa para eles, mesmo que não entendessem o porquê.

1.3
Nowadays, we can get water from many places.  We can drink it from the tap in our homes, or we can buy bottles of water from stores.  Some people add flavors to their water, like lemon or strawberry, to make it taste better. 

Hoje em dia, podemos obter água de muitos lugares. Podemos bebê-la da torneira em nossas casas, ou podemos comprar garrafas de água em lojas. Algumas pessoas adicionam sabores à sua água, como limão ou morango, para melhorar o sabor.

1.4
Drinking water has many benefits.  It helps us stay hydrated, which means it keeps our bodies from getting too dry.  When we are hydrated, we feel better and have more energy.  Water also helps our bodies get rid of waste and toxins. 

Beber água tem muitos benefícios. Ajuda-nos a manter-nos hidratados, o que significa que impede que os nossos corpos fiquem demasiado secos. Quando estamos hidratados, sentimo-nos melhor e temos mais energia. A água também ajuda o nosso corpo a livrar-se de resíduos e toxinas.

1.5
Sometimes, we drink other things instead of water, like juice or soda.  These drinks can be tasty, but they often have lots of sugar and other things that are not good for us.  Water is the healthiest choice because it has no sugar or calories. 

Às vezes, bebemos outras coisas em vez de água, como suco ou refrigerante. Essas bebidas podem ser saborosas, mas muitas vezes têm muito açúcar e outras coisas que não são boas para nós. A água é a escolha mais saudável porque não tem açúcar ou calorias.

1.6
It is important to drink enough water every day.  Doctors say we should drink about 8 cups of water, but it can be different for everyone.  We should listen to our bodies and drink when we are thirsty. 

É importante beber água suficiente todos os dias. Os médicos dizem que devemos beber cerca de 8 copos de água, mas pode ser diferente para cada um. Devemos ouvir o nosso corpo e beber quando estivermos com sede.

1.7
Fun fact: Did you know that water makes up about 60% of our bodies?  That is more than half! 

**Curiosidade**: Sabia que a água compõe cerca de 60% do nosso corpo? Isso é mais da metade!
