Ask people in the UK what the words "Sunday roast" mean to them，and they'll probably take you back to their grandmothers，dining rooms - maybe with a few stories of "the greatest puddings'' and "the best ever steak".But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the DailyMail，just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.
   There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular.In the busy modern world，where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen，people just don't seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
   And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook.Nowadays，people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it's far too late to start thinking about heating the oven （烤箱）up.
   However，a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules：It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.
   The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen，and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. "For busy moms and dads，even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event，children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together."

  • 1．Seventy years ago，a group of well-known people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
       It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras（交響樂團(tuán)）.It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly.
       At the same time，the "Fringe" appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.
       Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to Edinburgh each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small halls to the local people.
       Today the "Fringe"，once less recognised，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.
       A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

    （1）What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning？

    A．To introduce young theatre groups.
    B．To honour heroes of World WarⅡ.
    C．To attract great artists from Europe.
    D．To bring Europe together again.
    （2）Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947？

    A．They owned a public house there.
    B．They wanted to take part in the festival.
    C．They thought they were also famous.
    D．They came to take up a challenge.
    （3）Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared？

    A．Popular writers.
    B．Artists from around the world.
    C．University students.
    D．Performers of music and dance.
    （4）We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival
    .
