问题 In many western countries people do not bathe every day, Sometimes they bathe only once a week, Sometimes they bathe two or three times a week. They do not bathe often because the weather is cold or because hot water is expensive. They use electricity or wood to boil the water. Electricity and wood cost a lot of money. In cold countries people usually do not feel they are dirty if they do not have a bath.
   In Japan people bathe very often. Most people have a bath every day. When the weather is hot, they sometimes have two or three baths a day. They bathe in very hot water. Usually the water is almost boiling. They believe that these very hot baths also stop them from falling ill.
   Each house has its own bath but there are also big baths for everybody. They are found everywhere in Japan. In the bath-house there is one part for men and one part for women. The bath is usually three metres wide, three metres long, and about one metre deep; half-way down there is a narrow seat which goes all the way around the bath. Many people use the bath but it is not dirty. Before a person gets into the big bath, he washes himself first, then he gets into the big bath. He stays there for a short time. When he gets out of the bath, he washes his body with soap and water. After he washes all the soap away, he gets into the big bath again. Soap is not used in the big bath.
   The water in the big bath is changed very often. The water is also very hot. In some places people hit the water with sticks first. They do this to make the water cooler. Then the men get into the bath very slowly and carefully. When a person gets into a bath, he says, "Excuse me." He does this because, when the hot water moves, it may hurt other people. In some places the hot water comes out of the ground. In other places people boil the water with a big fire. In a small bath at home sometimes people light a fire under the bath. When the water is hot, people in the family take a bath one by one.
