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 instant noodles were considered a luxury product.When they first came to Japanese supermarkets 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 other "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,however,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,Dianping 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.

1.During the two sessions(兩會(huì)),Lei Jun,who started China's tech company Xiaomi,called for more e-waste(電子垃圾) recycling plans in China.
"China should make plans to make full use of those unwanted phones and computers.It can reduce the country's carbon emissions(碳排放), "Lei told CCTV News.
According to a 2020 UN report,the world's e-waste will reach 74.7 million tons by 2030.That means it will increase by 100% in 16 years.This makes e-waste the world's fastest-growing domestic(家用的)waste.
The report found that only 17.4% of the world's e-waste was collected and recycled in 2019.This means that gold,silver and other high-value materials were mostly burned or thrown away instead of being reused.It's a waste of 57 billion dollars.E-waste can also be bad for the environment and people's health.For example,one phone battery can pollute 600,000 liters of water.
China is now the world's largest producer of e-waste,followed by the US,India and Japan,according to the UN report.However,tech companies are looking for different ways to solve the problem.For example,US company Apple built a robot called Daisy.It can take 200 iPhones apart within an hour and took the useful materials out.With Daisy,valuable materials can be pulled out more easily.
Xiaomi is also setting up e-waste recycling platforms,where people can give away or sell their old electronics.
