1 / 9 UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测(四) 重点题型强化练 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 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 Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.
