B
“Can I have a glass of hot water?” This is a very common (常见的) 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 (谜) to people from other countries.
For many Westerners, the idea of drinking hot water is very strange. However, most Chinese people think the American people's habit of drinking ice water is also strange and even unhealthy. Some old people take a tea kettle (茶壶) when they travel. Doctors of traditional Chinese medicine are encouraging (鼓励) 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 had been in Beijing for over five years. He visited a local cafe when going back to England. He asked for a glass of hot water in a British accent (口音). But this request (要求) surprised the waitress. “To... to... to drink?” she doubted. Finally, the man received the hot water but felt cold stares (凝视) 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 history, culture and science.
As a matter of fact, many teenagers in China now depend on bottled water for daily drinking. With the younger generation (一代人) growing up, will drinking hot water become a less popular life habit? Who knows?

### B
“我可以要一杯热水吗？”这在餐馆里是一个非常常见的问题。对许多中国人来说，没有什么比每天喝热水更平常的了。然而，这个简单的习惯对其他国家的人来说就像一个谜。
对许多西方人来说，喝热水的想法很奇怪。然而，大多数中国人认为美国人喝冰水的习惯也很奇怪，甚至不健康。一些老人旅行时会带着茶壶。中医医生鼓励更多的人养成喝热水的习惯，尤其是女性。
但在西方国家，喝热水并不常见。西方人经常喝加冰的饮料，不仅在炎热的日子里，而且几乎每天都是如此。
网上有一个关于一个英国人的故事，他在北京已经待了五年多。回到英国后，他去了当地的一家咖啡馆。他用英国口音要了一杯热水。但这个要求让女服务员很惊讶。“用……用……用这个喝？”她怀疑地问。最后，这个人得到了热水，但却感受到了咖啡馆各个角落投来的冷漠目光。
西方人想知道中国人为什么喝热水，就像中国人想知道西方人为什么喝冷水一样。这种文化差异不是一个简单的问题，而是与历史、文化和科学有关。
事实上，现在中国的许多青少年日常饮水都依赖瓶装水。随着年轻一代的成长，喝热水会成为一种不太流行的生活习惯吗？谁知道呢？
