Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words
Hamams, or bath houses, are a traditional part of Turkish (土耳其的) culture. They represent an important piece of Turkey's long history and serve as a window into the past. However, these bath houses are quickly d1. because of the changing habits of the Turkish people.
Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many date back hundreds of years. Traditionally, all kinds of people went 10 hamams because Islam has strict laws for cleanliness. Believers must w2.themselves regularly, especially before their daily prayers (祷告): As most people in Turkey didn't have running water in their homes, the Hamam was the perfect place to get clean, r3. and catch up with friends.
Today, h 4., the tradition of going to the hamam is dying out for many young people. Now almost everyone has running water in their bathrooms, so they prefer to bathe at home. As a r5., Turkish people are not going to hamams as often as they used to. These days, instead of relying on locals, many hamams are trying to attract f6.tourists
A typical process at a hamam can last well over an hour. Visitors will be welcomed into entrance hall. There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of tea. They will also be able to change into the Turkish towel, which wraps around the waist like a skirt. When ready, visitors will head into the hot room. There they will lie on the hot floor and be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in-house masseurs or masseuses. Men and women always bathe separately (分开地),but their experiences are very s7.
Although many hamams are in danger of closing, they will always remain a part of Turkish culture. An experience in one of Istanbul' s famous bath houses should not be missed on any visit to Turkey. It will certainly leave you refreshed, relaxed, and squeaky clean for your next adventure.
