Many westerner find it interesting that Chinese people always carry a vacuum cup(保温杯). If you go to a western restaurant, they usually serve you a cup of cold water with ice. And when you ask if they can change to hot water, you may receive a strange look from the waiter or people nearby. Hot water? Seriously?

So hot water VS cold water, which one is better?

By 1930s, the water was polluted in China. In order to protect people from illnesses, the government suggested drinking boiled water, because they considered it a way to kill off bacteria(细菌). People at that time always boiled water and stored it in vacuum bottle to keep it warm for the day. Even now, you can find hot water everywhere. While for western countries, many people died of the plague(鼠疫). They took water quality seriously from then on, so that people can drink water directly rather than boil it.

You may also discover that Chinese people prefer hot meals. Some parents always teach their children to drink hot soup with meals, because they think mixing cold water with hot meals is really bad for the stomach. According to the eating habits in western countries, they prefer "raw" food, so they also prefer their water "raw". They also like hamburgers and fried food, which are all with high fat, so they need cold drinks to cool them off.

Drinking hot or cold water also has something to do with medicine beliefs. In traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese people consider drinking hot water washes away the coldness in one's body, and thus build up your body. However, most westerners believe that drinking hot water may be bad for your body. Drinking hot water too often will make your body unable to stand water below your body temperature.

You may find out that there is no answer to this question. The causes are different, so don't feel strange next time you see a Chinese ask for hot water, just show your respect.

 请阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

 Among all the pen productions, the writing brush(maobi) is a kind of special writing tool mainly made in China.

 Archaeologists(考古学家) said that writing brushes first appeared about 5,000 years ago. Hengshui, Xuancheng and Huzhou were three centers for making writing brushes in Chinese history. Many people still celebrate the invention of the brush every year.

____ Materials(材料) for the head part include rabbit hair, horse hair and so on. Some Chinese people like to make the writing brush with babies' lanugos(胎毛). People believe that a writing brush made of the hair of newborn babies will bring good luck while taking exams. As for stalks(笔杆), common materials are usually wood, but we can also see some special ones made of ivory, gold and some other expensive materials.

 It's considered that the writing brush is the most important one among the Four Treasures of Chinese Study. In Chinese calligraphy(书法) and Chinese painting, the writing brush is widely used. In ancient China, children had to learn calligraphy and try to write a good hand. Even the emperors were good at calligraphy. Nowadays, some Chinese people still practice calligraphy with a writing brush from a very young age. Calligraphy is beneficial to people in some ways. When writing, people will forget all worries and even themselves, turning all thoughts into the beauty of art. People think it helps improve a person's temper(脾气).

 Writing or painting with writing brushes is not only a way of communication, but also a way of expressing a person's inner world.
