22.  We wondered..
Culture
Bump!
 Why do Americans drink
such cold water?
A. They think it tastes good and
refreshing.
B. They eat too much meat at
home, so that they need cold
water to balance their calories in
the bodies.
C. It is convenient.

23.  Why do Americans
drink cold water in
winter?
Feeling puzzled, our team asked an American student.
Elizabeth is a pretty young lady; she looks so graceful
that we could hardly imagine her drinking cold water
with ice cubes.
In Chinese culture, a beautiful lady should sip hot tea
gracefully. But Elizabeth told us seriously that she
prefers cold water because she is very busy and
drinking cold water is convenient and good. She added
drinking more water is important.
In our culture, if conditions permit, we will choose hot
water in the winter first.
