V. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C, D.
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this
water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold. If you drink a glass of water which is too cold, it can cause an
imbalance to the body and slow down the digestive process. Besides, drinking too hot water can bring about
some serious side effects such as extensive damage to the tissue and other organs.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After
drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to
the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don't drink all of that
water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It's better to
drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it's better to drink between meals
and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with
normal digestion. Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light
yellow, you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink
more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.
