How much do you know about instant noodles (方便面)? Would you like     36     (eat) them? For those who don’t have basic cooking skills or are too busy     37     (work), instant noodles may help them.

China is     38     (big) market for instant noodles in the world. Instant noodles can be a snack for students or just a good choice for hungry workers. More than 46.2 billion instant noodle packets     39     (sell) in China in 2013. But instant noodle sales     40     (drop) by 17 percent in China in 2016.

Why did that happen? One reason could be the rise of online food delivery services (外卖服务). They can bring you something delicious no matter where you are. According to a survey in 2016, about 70 percent of young people ordered meals online at least once     41     week. This shows that Chinese people now have higher expectations for the quality of     42     (they) food. They are now more interested     43     having higher-quality diets.

Facing this challenge, many instant food companies (公司) are trying to improve their     44     (product). They are making instant noodles with less fat and salt.

I think instant food may share a larger market soon     45     these companies have made so many changes. Instant food will have a bright future.
