It was meant as a way to deal with air pollution - but it ended up as the topic of a heated online debate about religion. On Twitter, different people began spreading in response, and had nearly seven thousand tweets on both sides of the debate.
For Sanjay Dixit, a secretary to the government in Jaipur, India, the ban is \\Indians, education with loud crackers would have worked better.\ban on Diwali firecrackers to banning Christmas trees on Christmas. Voices across the religious circle have spoken out against the ban, saying it does not properly talk about any environmental concerns.
However, for those living with respiratory(呼吸道的) conditions or households with young children, the ban on fireworks makes perfect sense. Pallavi Pratap, an lawyer who argues in front of the Supreme Court of India, said that she saw the ban as a \the entire population is affected, and health professionals suggest that children and those with respiratory disease spend no time outside. These conditions worsen in winter months as cooler air traps smog closer to ground level. Pratap herself was nearly blinded after a firework accident on Diwali years ago.

Easy to make and cheap to buy, instant noodles have long been China's ultimate convenience food. 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 by 2016 those sales had decreased to 38.5 billion packets, according to the World Instant Noodle Association.
So what's going on? Well here are some theories --- which suggest instant noodles could be, in many ways, a great indicator of how China is changing.
Aspiration: Customers want better food
The recipe for instant noodles is fairly straight forward: Just add boiling water, a sachet of sauce, and some small packets of dehydrated vegetables and meat. As appetizing as that sounds, one factor in the slump could well shows a shift in China's consumption patterns. Consumers are more interested in life quality than just filling their bellies these days.

Travel: Infrastructure improving, habits changing
Travelling in China 20 years ago, I filled my stomach (and time) by eating pot after pot of instant noodles during cross-country train journeys, which sometimes lasted three days or more.
But Chinese trains and stations have improved. Journeys are quicker, and the range of food options are far more international.
Smart phones and the Internet: There's another form of “quick food”
About 730 million people in China now have access to the Internet. And apps that offer food delivery to your home, office or wherever you happen to be are a real boom industry. Their menus are undoubtedly more expensive than a pot of instant noodles. But these meals can still be inexpensive, and arguably more tasty.
But put in the global context, China is still the biggest market for instant noodles. In fact China's total was roughly the equivalent of 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.
\consumers stopped consuming instant noodles, but most consumers want to increase the quality of them,\can supply high-quality products so we have more possibility to develop our business.\32.Why have instant noodles long been the most important convenient food in China? A. The recipe for instant noodles is fairly straight forward. B. Instant noodles are really more tasty than other fast food. C. Instant noodles are easy to make and cheap to buy. D. Chinese like eating instant noodles.
33.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “slump” in paragraph 4 ? A. taste
B. sale
C. consumption
D. decline
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The writer loved eating noodles on the train decades ago.
B. A Japanese company may make a profit by improving the quality of instant noodles. C. Apps offering food delivery are popular because instant noodles are in good demand. D. Instant noodles have brought about great changes in China in many ways. 35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. China is still the biggest market for instant noodles all over the world. B. Food-delivery apps gives rise to the boom of quick food.
C. The decline of instant noodle sales indicates the changes in China in many ways.
D. Instant noodles have long been China’s ultimate fast food. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
