Asked about the foods that sell best in the whole world，do you often hear about Coca﹣Cola and McDonald's Big Macs from America？But think again，because the most successful worldwide food is instant noodles （方便面）.
A new book called Noodle Stories that was written 55 years after the birth of the instant noodles in Japan，mentioned that there were more than 100 billion cups of instant noodles worldwide in 2012﹣ that's about 14 cups for every person on Earth.As for noodles themselves，they were invented more than 2，000 years ago to become a worldwide staple（主食）.
_______ The oldest historical mention of noodles appeared in the third century AD in China.The earliest Chinese noodles were little pieces of dough （面团） thrown into boiling water.This kind of noodles，called mianpian，are still eaten in China today.Another early mention of noodles appeared in the fifth century AD in Jerusalem.
Momofuku Ando invented instant noodles in Japan in 1958.Few people know that instant noodles play an important role in hunger and disaster （灾害） relief.It's well﹣known that they are regarded as junk food，but they are a real "hunger killer".According to an online news report，the fat in instant noodles that is mixed with the delicious soup keeps one feeling full for longer.And that helps explain why"ramen"，as they are called in Japanese，have become a staple on the world's food aid （援助） lists.

Zombies（僵尸） are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk． They walk slowly， with their heads down and they will not look at you． They are living in a different world， a world of the mobile phone!
Many people are complaining（抱怨） about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly， making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk． Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem． They've divided up sidewalks into lanes（线路）：one lane for mobile﹣zombies and one lane for everyone else． The experiment hasn't worked out too well， since most mobile﹣zombies don't even notice the lanes．
I have another suggestion for the problem． In Shanghai， we have blind paths． They are made of small raised tiles（凸起的瓷砖）that help blind people follow a straight line． Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile﹣zombies． A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line． Of course， I have a further suggestion． At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile﹣zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!
Well， I don't think my suggestion is going to be taken， but I don't think special lanes for mobile﹣zombies will work， either． I think it's just a better idea to remind（提醒） people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones．
（1）According to the passage， who are mobile phone zombies？
A． The people who always look here and there on the road．
B． The people who always play with mobile phones on the road．
C． The people who hate using mobile phones when they are walking on the road．
（2）Why has not the lane for mobile﹣zombies in Chongqing worked out well？
A． Because it is too expensive to walk on the lanes．
B． Because there are so few lanes in Chongqing．
C． Because few mobile﹣zombies notice the lanes in fact．
（3）The underlined word "rough" in Paragraph 3means " " in Chinese．
A． 粗糙的
B． 光滑的
C． 漂亮的
（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A． Shanghai has also built lanes for the mobile﹣zombies．
B． The writer's suggestion for the mobile﹣zombies was taken．
C． Mobile﹣zombies should think of others on the road．
（5）The passage may come from ．
A． a story
B． a newspaper
C． a notice
I love listening to music and will try to do it as much as I can．Whether I'm driving my car or walking somewhere I always have a CD or my iPod playing because I feel music can greatly influence my mood（情绪）．I can listen to music to cheer me up or relax me or remind me about a certain time and a certain place where I last listened to that song．
I feel the best way to listen to music is live!I love going to concerts to watch and hear my favorite artist or band perform．
The last concert I went to was a Mumford and Son's concert in Newcastle，a country﹣folk style band from the Uk．All of the lights and sound effects not only sounded good but also looked good．
I always feel that people come together at concerts．I can easily talk to people I might never have talked to before，just because they share an interest in a certain music artist．
I also find that at concerts many artists or bands may speed their song up or slow it down．Sometimes they might cover someone else's song so I feel that the live performances really show me a new way to listen to music．
I enjoy concerts because I always discover something new and different because of the way it is played live．

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，do people remember less？if you know your computer will store information，why do you store it in your own personal memory，your brain？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments（实验）.She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.
In the first experiment，they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information.The second group understood that the computer would not store it.Later，the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it.
In the second experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder（文件夹）.Surprisingly，people later remember where the folder is better than the facts.When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information.However，they remember how to find it.This is called "transitive memory （交互记忆）".
According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead，computer users are developing stronger transitive memories；that is，people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less clever，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
（1）Why does the writer begin the text with two questions？

（2）What can we learn form the first experiment？
A.Sparrow put the information into the computer.
B.Both groups remember the information well.
C.Group 1 remembered the information faster.
D.Group 2 remembered the information better.
（3）What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment？
A.People organize the information like a computer.
B.People remember how to find the information.
C.People remember how to make a folder.
D.People keep the information in mind.
（4）What's Professor Betsy Sparrow's conclusion（结论）？
A.People become more and more clever.
B.The way people use memory is changing.
