Do you like eating instant noodles (方便面)? The food is easy to make and cheap to buy. People have celebrated its 60th birthday this year. It was invented by a Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958.

China is the biggest market for instant noodles. It can be a snack for students, a meal on a train, or just a choice for hungry workers. More than 46. 2 billion instant noodles packets were sold on the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong in 2013, a BBC article reported. But by 2016. those sales had dropped to 38. 5 billion packets, according to the World Instant Noodles Association.

One of the reasons for the drop could be the rise of online food delivery services. (外卖服务） They can bring you food wherever you are. They also offer more choices and tastier food. According to a 2016 survey by China Youth Daily, about 70 percent of young people order meals online once a week.

This shows that Chinese people now expect higher for the quality of their food, according to Shen Hongbing, a professor from Chongqing Technology and Business University.

Facing this challenge, instant food companies are trying to do something to increase sales. For example, Kangshifu, one of the largest instant noodle companies, puts more natural food and fewer man-made tastes into the noodles and it also tries to make its noodles non-fried(非油炸), which can cut the calories(卡路里）and bring less fat. Another big company, Tangdaren, take actions too. It changes the price from 9 yuan to 7 yuan for each bowl. There are many other instant food companies following them to improve their products  to meet people’s needs.

Will instant noodles disappear one day? We don't know. But they have surely left a mark on dining history.

58. Who invented instant noodles?
59. What do instant food companies do to in crease sales?
60. If you have no time for your meals , will you choose instant noodles? Why or Why not?

Neil liked the freedom that came with his first summer job. He worked at Mitchell's Farm where people could come and pick the corm, berries and tomatoes out in the fields themselves. Then they'd bring their produce to checkout stand, where Neil would weigh it and charge the appropriate price. Mr and Mrs. Mitchell were usually busy somewhere else, so Neil was trusted to manage the stand by himself.

For the most part, Neil obeyed the Mitchell's rules. When someone asked for a discount or a sample, Neil said no. But he did sometimes change the rules for friends, much to their delight.

"Go ahead, taste a few berries before I weigh, "he'd say when it was someone he knew. It was against the rules to eat something before you bought it, but everyone wanted to.

One day, a man came to stand with a basket of com he had picked. Neil weighed the ears of com and told the man how much it cost. The man looked confused.

"But I was here yesterday, and you told someone that for every five ears you buy, you get one free, " he said.

Neil had it in his memory. He had indeed offered that deal to the Thomases, who happened to be his neighbors. Now he felt sad about it. He saw Mrs Mitchell working close by. How was Neil going to explain that he had given a deal to those he knew while he made everyone else pay full price?

Neil thought about offering the man the same discount, but there were people in line behind him, and they were carrying corm, too. Neil hung his head and walked over to see Mrs. Mitchel.

53. Where did Neil work?

54. Why did Neil give a discount to Thomases?

55. Will you give your friends a discount if you have a job like Neil's ? Why or why not?

Why does everything else seem so interesting when you have to study? Let's find out how to stay focused(集中). Follow each piece of advice that is given below.

Turn Off Your Cell pbone

Nothing's worse for a teenager to stay without their cell phone even for a minute. It's the

sound in your cell phone that stops you from learning. Stop sending text messages to your friends saying "I can't study" or "how much have you finished".

A New Timetable Every Day

    One of my personal ways is creating a new timetable every day. Look at the clock, and divide your hours. Suppose 2 hours of study requires a 30-minute break after that. Relax and then go back to study for another two hours.

Try Different Places to Study

    Looking for a quiet place can help you stay organized while studying. A lonely corner in your house is perfect. You can also go to your school library. This will work for sure, trust me.

53. How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to stay focused while studying?

54. Why do we need a quiet place while studying?
