PRACTICE TEST 12.37
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.
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 is too cold,which
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.
