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.
This year marks the 63rd anniversary 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(奢侈的) 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 instant noodles,as well as many other "instant" foods,convenience is the key selling point.They are supposed to make our lives easier.
.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.jye.ai,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,experts say.

3.How Soccer Can Help Us Understand Physics Sports provide a great way to understand some concepts(概念) in physics.Physics,after all is the study of matter,motion(運動),force,and energy.And since sports liken soccer,swimming and cycling involve bodies moving through space,they can help us understand how the principles of physics work.
Imagine that you're looking at a soccer ball on a grassy field.If you do nothing to the ball,it will stay motionless on the grass.If you kick the ball,it will roll along the grass before coming to rest again.Pretty simple ,right?
For thousands of years,though,people thought that objects like this soccer ball come to rest because they have a natural tendency to stop.It took a famous physicist by the name of Sir Isaac Newton,who lived in the 1600s,to prove that this was not exactly correct.
Newton suggested that objects like the soccer ball have a natural tendency to keep moving.The only reason they stop,he believed,is because an unbalanced force acts on them.By an unbalanced force,Newton meant the force applied to the soccer ball by its environment.When kicked,the surface of the ball travels over the grass,creating friction(摩擦力).The taller the grass,and the rougher the surface of the ball,the more friction is created.And the more friction that exists between the ball and the grass,the less it will travel after being kicked.
Now,imagine that there is no grass.Instead,the ball is resting on a frozen lake.When you kick the ball on the ice,the ball will go much farther than it would have on the grass.This is because ice provides a lot less friction than the grass.
Even so,ice does cause some friction.The ball's interaction with the frozen water crystals on the surface of the lake eventually causes it to come to rest again.But now imagine that instead of ice,the ball is in a place where there's no friction at all.The ball is floating in a vacuum.If you remove friction entirely,kicking the soccer ball would cause it to keep going and going at the same speed,until some force caused it to slow down and sjye.aip.To paraphrase Sir Isaac Newton,a soccer ball on the grass will stay where it is unless acted on by a force.Similarly,once you kick the ball,it will remain in motion unless acted on by force.This,in so many words,is known as Newton's First Law of Motion.
(1)According to the passage ,once an object like a soccer ball is in motion,it has a natural tendency to
A.stop
B.slow down
C.keep moving
D.change direction
(2)What does the writer explain in the passage?

A.A very small chance of something happening.
B.A fifty-fifty chance of something happening.
C.The way something normally behaves or acts.
D.The fear of doing something or acting in a certain way.
(4)The passage is mainly about
A.the motion of objects
B.the life of Sir Isaac Newton
