19、ion packets were sold in China in 2013. But it seems this industry has gone off the boil. By 2016 those sales had declined to 38.5 billion, according to the World Instant Noodle Association, a drop of almost 17%.“This phenomenon shows an unnoticeable while continuous change in Chinas consumption (消费
20、) patterns,” said Zhao Ping of the Academy of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. He told the China Daily, “Consumers are more interested in life quality than just filling their bellies these days.”About 730 million people in China now have access to the Internet according to gov
21、ernment figures. And about 95% of those are using smart phones to connect. And apps that offer food delivery to your home, office or wherever you happen to be are a real fast-developing industry.Their menus are undoubtedly more expensive than a pot of instant noodles. But these meals can still be in
22、expensive, and arguably more tasty, depending on your favor.But put in the global background, China is still easily the biggest market for instant noodles. In fact, Chinas consumption was roughly equal to Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, India, the US, South Korea and the Philippines combined.And that mea
23、ns global noodle manufacturers are unlikely to turn away from the Chinese market. Japans instant noodle business Nissin Foods, for example, is planning to land on the stock market, in Hong Kong, by which operation it hopes to raise about 145 million dollars. It is rare for a Japanese firm to list in
24、 Hong Kong, but Nissin is talking up its prospects in China, where it is already the fifth biggest brand.“Some consumers stopped consuming instant noodles, but most consumers want to increase the quality (of food they consume),” chief executive Kiyotaka Ando told CNBC last week.“We can supply high-q

29、red that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in thes
30、e areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the f
31、irst study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists f
32、ound that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land
33、 within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked
34、 the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occu
35、rs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent bac
36、k into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.1、According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _.Aresult in a warming climateBcause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyClead to a lon
37、ger fire seasonDprotect the forests and the environment there2、The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _.Alarge amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereBthe levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseCsnow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into sp
38、aceDashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun3、Earlier studies about northern forest fires _.Aanalyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateBindicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereCsuggest that people should take measures to prote

41、ecause some partners spent more time on them than with each other.When Amanda Gao, a 26-year-old white collar worker in Beijing, went to a hotpot restaurant with her boyfriend on Friday night several weeks ago, she expected that they would have a good time together. To her disappointment, however, i
42、t did not turn out that later. As soon as they were led to their seats and she began to order dishes, he buried himself in his mobile phone.“It seemed that his phone was making its way between us. A date that should have belonged to us turned into one where my boyfriend dated a third party and I fel
43、t left out.” Gao said. Some people, like her, have found electronics have been sabotaging(破坏) their romantic relationships.A study, published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture, in April, 2017, questioned nearly 200 college aged adults who were in committed(真诚的) relationships to repo
44、rt on their and their partners smartphone dependency. The results showed people who were more dependent on their phones were less sure about their relationships, and people considered their partners excessively(过度地) dependent on their devices were less satisfied in their relationship.Lin Yuan, a rel
45、ationship advisor in Beijing, noted that as more and more electronics come out and spice up peoples lives, they are at the same time becoming a third party in relationships, especially for young people.Lin said she knew of some people who suggest that electronics should be kept out of bedrooms, whic
46、h she considered challenging and hard to be put into practice for most couples. She recommended that if people are feeling neglected in their relationship, they need to respectfully let their partners know their feeling. “Communication is always the best and the most efficient way.” she said.1、What
47、is Gaos feeling when entering the restaurant with her boyfriend?AExpectant. BDisappointed.CAnnoyed. DUneasy.2、Which of the following may Lin Yuan agree with?AGaos boyfriend must be addicted to playing games.BMost couples can practice keeping electronics out of bedrooms.CPartners should communicate more to understand each other better.DCouples should restrict t
