25、A poor boy once went to a ragged (破旧的) school, where his face was well washed. When he returned home，the neighbors looked at him in surprise.

They said, “That looks like Tom Rogers, and yet it can’t be, for he is so clean.” After a while, his mother looked at him, seeing that his face was so clean. She thought that her own face was dirty, and she washed it at once. The father soon came home from his work, seeing his wife and his son so clean, he thought that his face was dirty, and so he followed their example.

Father, mother and son being clean, the mother began to think that the room looked dirty, so she went down on her knees to scrub (擦洗) the floor clean. A woman lived next door. Seeing so great a change in her neighbors, she thought that her face and her room were very dirty; so she, too, quickly set about cleaning them.

This story shows how two houses and their families were made tidy and comfortable, simply by the example of the clean face of one ragged school boy. Children, as well as grow-up people, should always set a good example. We never know how much good may be done in that way, nor can we tell how much harm results from a bad example.

根据短文内容判断正、误。(正确的涂”A”，错误的涂”B”)

【1】The poor boy got his face washed at home.

【2】The boy’s mother thought her own face was clean, so it didn’t need washing.

【3】The boy’s father thought the room dirty, so he went down on his knees to clean the floor.

【4】Seeing such a great change in her neighbors, the woman neighbor thought that her face and her room were very dirty.

【5】From the passage, we know we should always set a good example for others.

26、   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 61st 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 istant noodles were considered a luxury product. When they first came to Japanese supermart 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 “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, hower, 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, Dianning 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.

A.Uber Eats. B.Elc.me. C.Meitan D.Dianping

A.Food trend often reflects changes in society.

B.Different country has different kinds of instant food.

C.The development of instant food changes the society.

D.More and more people were interested in instant noodles.

【5】What can we infer from the passage?
