25、   Eating food is enjoyable, but cooking can be challenging. For those who don't have basic cooking skills, or are too busy working or traveling, one thing can save them— instant noodles （方便面）.

This year marks the 61st anniversary（周年）of the invention of instant noodles. Ever since they were created by Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958, instant noodles have been popular around the world. In China, the product has almost become a necessity for those who travel by train.

There are some fun facts about instant noodles: The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters. The first instant noodles were considered a luxury product. When they first came to Japanese supermarkets in 1958, they were 6 times the cost of fresh udon noodles. Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of their best inventions of the 20th century.

For example, noodles, as well as many other “instant" foods, convenience （便捷）is the key selling point. They are supposed to make our lives easier.

Food trend（趋势）often reflects changes in society. For example, in wars, soldiers eat compressed biscuits and canned meat because they don't need to cook these foods. And in the 1960s, frozen dinners of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables became popular in the US. This is because more women started working and had no time to cook.

In recent years, however, online meal-ordering services have brought challenge to instant foods. Uber Eats is a popular app of this kind in the United States. In China, we have Ele.me, Dianping and Meituan. These services offer not only convenience, but also more choices and tastier food. According to the World Instant Noodle Association, instant noodle sales dropped by 17 percent in China as of 2016.

This might show that Chinese people are now more interested in having higher-quality diets and not just simply filling their bellies（腹部）, experts say.

【1】Which country did instant noodles start from?

A.The UK. B.The US. C.China. D.Japan.

【2】Which of the following is NOT the fun fact of instant noodles?

A.The total length of the noodles in one package is 51 meters.

B.The usage of online-ordering services reduces the sales of instant noodles.

C.The first instant noodles were much more expensive than fresh udon noodles.

D.Japanese people even voted instant noodles as one of the best inventions of the 20th century.

【3】If you need to help your parents order food online m Guangzhou, which app can't you choose?

A.Uber Eats. B.Ele.me. C.Meituan. D.Dianping.

【4】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Everyone who travels by train takes instant noodles in China.

B.In 2016, only 17% of Chinese people bought instant noodles.

C.Many American women didn't like cooking food in the 1960s.

D.Chinese people are interested in having higher-quality diets now.

26、New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) Learning

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

【1】What does the expression “at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. According to their own timetable.

B. Without their teachers’ help.

C. Because of their wonderful goals.

D. Against their parents’ hope.

【2】From the passage we can learn that____.

A. students with iPads have less discussion in class

B. students get more fun from learning with iPads

C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses

D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams

【3】The writer probably agrees that____.

A. teachers can take control of students’ learning

B. exam results depend a lot on now technology

C. technology in education has a bright future

D. note-taking is as helpful as video-watching

【4】Where does the passage possibly come from?
