二、阅读短文,选择正确的答案。
Different people have different eating habits. The Chinese have a saying, “Good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch but eat a little for dinner.” Many Americans also start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different. Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner.
Eating at a restaurant is also different. In China, many people like to talk and laugh while eating. But Americans want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal. If someone is talking too loudly, the manager(经理) of the restaurant may come and ask him or her to be quiet.

2. 由第一段“Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch.”可知,大多数美国人在午餐上花费的时间很短,对应选项B。
3. 从第二段“But Americans want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal.”可知,美国人喜欢在餐厅安静地用餐,对应选项C。
