Do you like instant noodles? Do you know why they are curved (弯曲的) , instead of straight? Many people like instant noodles, but few of them think about why they are curved. It just sounds funny. Then what are the reasons?
First, people make instant noodles by steaming and frying(煮和炸). It makes them quite fragile(易碎的 ). Straight noodles are easy to break on the trip. But the curved shape keeps them from breaking so easily.
Next, the same bowl can hold more curved noodles than straight ones. If we want to have longer noodles, we need to make them curved.
Also, curved noodles have bigger space (空间) from each other. It makes them easier to cook in hot water and taste better. But when we cook straight noodles, if we don't stir ( 搅拌) them often, they may stick(粘) together.
Then, the curved shape makes it easy for us to eat the noodles with forks(叉) or chopsticks(筷子). Are you good at using a fork or chopsticks to eat straight noodles? I believe it must be difficult.
Now you know the reasons why instant noodles are curved. It's interesting, isn't it? In fact, there is always a reason behind everything.
