   The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E Simon.The building became very old and in 1960，the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block.Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally，the city of New York bought it for ＄5 million.It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.
   Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programs and information from all over the world.Over 12，000 concert programs were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall's concert history.
   Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls，but the Main Hall，now called the Isaac Stem Auditorium，is the most famous.The hall itself can hold an audience of 2，804 in five levels of seating.

1．Easy to make and cheap to buy，instant noodles have long been China's ultimate convenience food.
   Since it was a snack for students，a meal on the train，or just the go-to choice for hungry workers，more than 46.2 billion 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 China's consumption（消費）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 filing their bellies these days."
   About 730 million people in China now have access to the Internet according to government 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 inexpensive，and arguably more tasty，depending on your favour.
   But put in the global background，China is still easily the biggest market for instant noodles.In fact，China's consumption was roughly equal to Indonesia，Japan，Vietnam，India，the US，South Korea and the Philippines combined.
   And that means global noodle manufacturers are unlikely to turn away from the Chinese market.Japan's 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 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-quality products so we have more possibility to develop our business."

（1）The phrase "go off the boil" in Paragraph 2 is close in meaning to

A．stop boiling
B．turn down

D．get out of control
（2）According to the text，it is because of

that people have more food choices.
A．the development of food manufacturing industry
B．the fall of price in foods beyond instant noodles
C．the technological development on communication
D．the people's doubt on instant noodles' food safety
（3）Which of the following descriptions is TRUE according to the text？

A．China consumes more instant noodle than any other country does.
B．China is beginning to lose its first place in instant noodle business.
C．Nissin is the fifth biggest brand of Japan's instant noodle business.
D．Nissin is planning to build an instant noodle factory in Hong Kong.

.
A．China's instant noodle consumption will continue to drop
B．Chinese people will favour cheaper instant noodles to save money
C．instant noodles will have a pessimistic prospect in the future

   "Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local cultures and services，including staying in private homes，appreciating plants and watching monkeys，" Li Xuejing，an agency's marketing manager，said.
   Miss Guo，a Chinese tourist，who was vacationing on an island in Philippines，said， "I now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives."
