We often read that we need to drink at least eight glasses of water a day.In fact，how much water we need depends on the weather and on what we're doing.When we are hot，or if we do sports or exercise，we need to drink more.

No.When temperatures are very low we also need to drink more than on a normal day.This is because we wear a lot of clothes so we sweat（出汗） a lot and lose water.
(4)
Yes，of course.We get water from food，especially fruit and vegetables（ an apple is 85% water，an onion is 87%）.We can also get water from other drinks like fruit juice，coffee and colas，which contain a lot of water.
(5)
No.It can be dangerous to drink a lot of water.Recently a British actor nearly（几乎） died after drinking eight liters of water a day for several months.
