But 200 years later it had become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social(社会的)event. It began at 10 a. m. and lasted until 1 p. m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a. m. and became a family meal.Dinner, however, went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a. m. Years later, it had moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p. m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack(小吃)to fill the gap(间隙)between breakfast and dinner.9English people did not have lunch _.Abefore1890 Bsince 1890Csince 1895 Dby 189010“Dinner, however, went to the other way”means _.ADinner didnt go there with breakfast BDinner took the same way with breakfastCDinner is different from breakfast DDinner is the same with breakfast11Lunch has been served since the _ century.Aseventeenth Beighteenth Csixteenth Dtwentieth12.The passage is mostly concerned with （涉及） _.A.What people eat for breakfast B.what people eat for dinner C.the history of supper D.the history of three mealsD No matter where you travel in Asia, youll find yourself faced with a new culture.
