    One day, a teacher entered the classroom and told the students they would have a surprise test. After hearing that, all students were seated excitedly and waited for the test to begin soon. Then, the teacher gave the test papers to all students. However, the students were confused(困惑的)to see that there were no questions but just a black dot(点)in the center of the page. The teacher noticed the students' facial expressions and told them, "I want you to write about what you see there."

    The students were still confused but got started with the test. At the end of the class, the teacher took all the answer sheets and started reading each answer in front of all students. All of them described about the black dot and tried to explain its position. After the teacher finished reading, the whole class was silent.

    Then, the teacher began to explain. "Don't worry. I am not going to give you grades for this, but I just want you to think about something. Here everyone focused(聚焦)on the black dot and wrote about it, but no one wrote about the white paper, the same is with our lives. The white paper represents(象征)our whole life and the black spot represents problems in our life."

Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships and so on, but we never see that these problems are very small, compared to everything we have in our lives.

A group of children gathered (聚集) around their grandfather. They were filled with excitement and curiosity(好奇). That day, there had been quite a fierce(激烈的) fight between two adults, their grandfather was called in to mediate. The children were curious to hear what he had to say about it. One of the children asked a question to the grandfather that was puzzling(使困惑) him.

"Grandfather, why do people fight?"

The old man replied," Well, do you know, my child, we all have two wolves inside us? They are in our chest(胸膛)…and these wolves are fighting each other at times."

The eyes of the children had grown big by now.

"In our chests too, Grandfather?" asked another child. The grandfather nodded his head and said," Yes."

"And in your chest too?" asked a third one. The grandfather replied," Yes, in my chest too."

The grandfather surely had all the children's attention now, and went on," There is a white wolf and a black wolf. The black wolf inside us is filled with fear, lies, anger and sadness. The white wolf is filled with peace, love, hope and kindness. And do you know there is always a terrible fight between the two wolves?"

Then he stopped. There was complete silence and all the children were looking toward him.Finally, the grandson who asked the first question could not wait anymore and broke the silence," ButGrandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old man smiled and replied," That's simple... the one we feed more."

①What do a student in China, an office worker in the UK and an astronaut in space all have in common? They all eat instant noodles (方便面). And they're not alone—over 100 billion servings (一份) of instant noodles are sold around the world each year, making them one of the world's most successful industrial foods (大规模生产的加工食品). But how did this happen?

②Put simply, they're cheap to produce and cheap to buy, which was exactly what their creator (发明者) expected. Momofuku Ando, a Japanese businessman, spent a year improving the recipe (配方) just after the Second World War. He wanted to make something similar to traditional Japanese ramen noodles (拉面). He used the wheat flour (面粉) donated to Japan by the US government. His creation was quickly popular, playing an important role in Japan's economic (经济) rise after the war. Even in the year 2000 – according to a poll by the Fuji Research Institute – instant noodles were voted Japan's most successful invention. They were much more popular than high-speed trains, laptops or karaoke. 

③But Japanese people are not alone in their devotion to instant noodles. According to the World's Instant Noodles Association, China, Indonesia, Vietnam (越南) and India—in that order—the sales of instant noodles in these countries were all bigger than Japan in 2021. Instant noodles' popularity abroad simply depends on how easy they are to adapt to (适应) local tastes. In Thailand, for example, you can get green curry flavour (味道), while in Mexico the noodles are decorated with lime and salsa. And it seems that buyers have grown to expect new creation. Nissin, the food company set up by Ando, created over 300 products yearly, just in Japan, according to employee Kasura Suzuki.

④Different from those who love instant noodles, Some people do not like the noodles very much. Their rise in popularity has come at an environmental cost—they're made with palm oil (棕榈油), as a result, more trees are cut down. Also, their packaging is plastic. And while they are a hot, tasty and filling meal, instant noodles don't have much nutritional (营养的) value, and include high levels of salt and fat. Anyway, instant noodles are undoubtedly lifesavers in emergency or extreme (极端) situations.

⑤More than 60 years after their invention, instant noodles have become the default (默认) food for anyone short on money, time, or even a kitchen.
