READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW
Our bodies have a lot of water in them. This water is useful and vital as it keeps
our bodies cool and alive. Without water in our bodies, we would die. The loss of
water in our bodies is called dehydration. Dehydration can lead to death.
The risk or danger of dehydration is greatest in the hot summer season. This is
when the temperature is the degree of heat or cold. In summer, many children
suffer from dehydration. They lose a lot of water from their bodies as they play
and run around in the heat. Here are some hints to avoid dehydration:
Always drink a lot of water as you play or work. The water you drink will
replace the water you lose through sweat.
Eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. Fruits like watermelons, mangoes
paw-paws, cucumbers have a lot of water in them
Reduce sweating by wearing light clothes.
Work and play in the shade. Make swimming your sport during the hot
months in summer. When you are swimming, you do not sweat.
Therefore, you do not lose any water from your body.
