"Dining out" and "eating out" are phrases people use in Britain when they eat in a restaurant or pub (酒馆) .Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. In 2006 ，for the first time ever，British people spent more time eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming increasingly interested in how good their food tastes， and also how healthy it is.

However,eating out can also be expensive. As British people do not eat out every night of the

week,eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion. When going on a first date and wanting to impress him/her, or if celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant to eat,and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater.

As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquette (礼仪) surrounding food and eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way. It is also impolite to have your elbows(肘部) on the dining table when you are eating.

Almost all British cities have a vast range of food as well as traditional British food,and all from the very cheap to the very expensive―French, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Greek,Thai,Japan and many，many more. In fact，when asked which was their favorite food，more British people said an Indian curry(咖?厘菜肴) is tastier than any other dish！

As well as dining in a restaurant，when people are too tired to cook after work they often get a "takeaway". This means that they order from a take-out restaurant by telephone，and then go to collect it and take it home to eat. Many take-out restaurants also deliver it to your house. While you can normally find a take-out restaurant for almost any food，the most popular are Italian pizza，Indian and Chinese and then all you have to do is to open the door，pay and eat！

 Max Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music. He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.

  In 1957 ，Max Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. At the time,he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. His computer program was called Music. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a sev?enteen-second piece of music that he had written. The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.

  The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the1960s. He heard a computer "sing" the song"Daisy Bell" on devices and programs developed by Max Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book"2001: A Space Odyssey," which was later made into a movie.

  Max Mathews had a long and productive career. He worked with composers like John Cage and Edgard Varese. He helped create a center for research in computer music in Paris. And he taught at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics in Stanford University in California.

  Mathews believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin, but with a computer, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He said he did not want computer sounds to replace live music. But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments.
