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.

水是我们每天都需要的一种饮料。它是透明的,没有味道。但水对我们的身体运作非常重要。我们喝水以解渴并保持健康。

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.

自古以来人们就一直在喝水。在过去,他们喝河水和井水。他们知道水对他们有好处,尽管他们不明白为什么。

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.

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.

喝水有很多好处。它帮助我们保持水分,这意味着它防止我们的身体变得过于干燥。当我们水分充足时,我们感觉更好,精力更充沛。水还帮助我们的身体排除废物和毒素。

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.

有时,我们会喝果汁或汽水等其他东西来代替水。这些饮料可能很美味,但它们通常含有大量的糖和其他对我们不好的东西。水是最健康的选择,因为它不含糖或卡路里。

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.

每天喝足够的水很重要。医生说我们应该喝大约8杯水,但这可能因人而异。我们应该倾听自己的身体,在口渴时喝水。
