【题目】阅读下面的短文, 然后根据短文内容回答问题。

“Dining out”, or”eating out”, is a phrase people use in Britain when they eat in a restaurant or a pub. Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. In 2006. for the first time ever, British people spent more eating out in restaurants and pubs than cooking for themselves. It seems that many British people are becoming interested in how good their food tastes and how quickly they can get their food.

However, eating out can also be expensive. Restaurants are even more expensive than pubs because pubs always provide less comfortable environment and serve simpler food, though just as delicious, As British people do not dine out every night of the week, eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion（场合）. When going on a first date or celebrating（庆祝）an anniversary（周年纪念）or a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant to eat. People often eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theatre.

Naturally, restaurants are greatly different in quality and price. However, almost all British cities have many kinds of food to choose from including traditional British food, and all from the very cheap to the very expensive—French. Italian, Indian, Greek, Thai, Japanese and many, many more. In fact, when asked what their favorite food is, more British people say an Indian curry than any other dish!

As well as dining in a restaurant, when people are too tired to cook after work, they often get a”take—away”. This means that they order from a take—away restaurant by phone, and then go to collect it and take it home to eat. And you can normally find a take—away restaurant for almost any cuisine. The most popular are Italian. Indian and Chinese—and all you have to do is open the door, pay and eat!
