问题     French daily life is dominated by the working week. People will be up around 7 a. m. to get the children to school and to commute to work, which starts at 9 a. m. The French day begins with coffee (often with milk), served in a bowl, not in a cup, with bread, butter and jam, or biscotti or toast.
    Although the tradition is diminishing in big cities, the two-hour lunch is still important and 12:30 p. m. to 2 p. m. or 2:30 p. m. is a dead period. The working day usually ends at 6 p. m., but may extend to 7 p. m. or even 8 p. m. to compensate—subway, work, and sleep are how they used to describe it.
    Shopping is an important part of the French day. The French like to buy small quantities of fresh food often, as well as buying basics and food for the freezer at the supermarket.
    Evenings are spent at home eating, watching TV, or preparing homework for the following day. The evening meal is eaten around 7 p. m. or 8 p. m.
    It is during weekends that routine changes. The French admire hard work but they are not workaholics. Weekends are for relaxing, seeing friends, playing sports, eating and drinking, or just hanging out. Whoever is up first in the morning goes out to buy freshly baked bread and croissants for breakfast. Lunch is a leisurely affair, often with extended family members, preceded by an aperitif and a long meal followed by digestifs (brandy and liqueurs) and coffee.
    For people who are fashion-conscious, it is interesting that the French dress quite casually. The trick is quality and style. Correctness of dress for the occasion is less important than the style of clothes and the quality of the material and accessories. Despite having some of the best-known fashion logos in the world, the French are not obsessed by labels, but appearance is important.
According to the passage, the French day lunch________.

选项 A、usually lasts two hours or so
B、is not as important as before
C、is a leisurely affair
D、is often shared with family members

答案A

解析 根据第二段第一句“Although the tradition is diminishing in big cities, the two-hour lunch is still important and 12:30 p. m. to 2 p. m. or 2:30 p. m. is a dead period. ”可知,尽管在大城市传统在消失,但两小时的午餐依然重要,下午12点30分到下午2点或2点30分是一段无趣的时间。由此可推知,法国一天中的午餐通常持续大约两个小时。故选A。
