【推荐1】“Can I have a glass of hot water?” This is a very common question in a restaurant. For many Chinese people, nothing is more common than drinking hot water every day. However, the simple habit is like a mystery to people from other countries.

For many Westerns, the idea of drinking hot water is very strange. However, most Chinese people think the Americans’ habit of drinking ice water is also strange and even unhealthy. Some old people carry a tea kettle (茶壶) when they travel. Chinese doctors are encouraging more people to take on the habit of drinking hot water, especially for women.

But in Western countries, drinking hot water isn’t common. Westerners often have drinks with ice, not just on hot days but almost every day.

There is a story online about a British man, who has been in Beijing for over five years. He visited a local café when going back to England. He asked for a glass of hot water in a British accent (口音). But his request surprised the waitress, “To…to…to drink?” she doubted. Finally, the man received the hot water but felt cold stares from every corner of the cafe.

Westerners wonder why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are wondering why Westerners drink cold water. This cultural difference is not a simple problem, but related to (与……有关联) history, culture and science.

As a matter of fact, many teenagers now depend on bottled water for daily drinking. With the younger generation growing up, will drinking hot water become a less popular life habit? Who knows?

【推荐3】Children in England will no longer be able to buy energy drinks. The UK government has made plans to ban (禁止) the sale of energy drinks to kids. It is now asking for public suggestions as to what age the ban should start at (16 or 18), the BBC reported.

An energy drink is a type of drink that contains stimulants (兴奋剂), such as caffeine (咖啡因). Red Bull is one of the most famous energy drinks. The makers of these drinks say that they can give you energy when you feel tired.

However, these drinks have very high levels of sugar and caffeine. Energy drinks have 65 percent more sugar than normal soft drinks. This may explain why obesity (肥胖) rates have risen among children.

Too much caffeine can lead to health problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness. A 250 ml can of Red bull contains about 80 mg of caffeine, three times the level of a can of Coca Cola, The Guardian noted.

In the UK, more than two thirds of 10-to-17-year-olds buy energy drinks, according to the government date. Childhood obesity is one of the greatest health challenges (挑战) this country faces. It’s important that we do all we can to make sure children have the best start in life,” the UK former Prime Minister Theresa May said in a statement.

The ban would apply to (应用于) drinks containing more than 150 mg of caffeine per liter. Under the ban, shops in England that sell the drinks to children would face fines of up to t2,500 (22,070 yuan).

1. According to the ban, how many mg of caffeine in drinks can be sold to children?

A．80 mg

B．65 mg

C．less than 150 mg

D．more than 150 mg

2. What does the underlined word “This” refer to?

A．sugar

B．energy drink

C．soft drink

D．caffeine

3. What is an energy drink?

A．It’s a type of drink that contains a lot of milk.

B．It’s a type of drink that has a very low level of caffeine.

C．It’s a type of drink that contains stimulants.

D．It’s a type of drink that can keep you healthy.

4. What can we learn from the passage?

A．The ban will be carried out around the world.

B．Shops that are against the ban would not be punished.

C．The UK will ban the sale of all drinks to children.

D．Energy drinks do a lot of harm to children’s health.
