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.
French people usually spend weekends in the following ways EXCEPT________.

选项 A、playing sports
B、eating and drinking
C、preparing a big lunch
D、seeing friends or just hanging out

答案C

解析 根据倒数第二段第三句“Weekends are for relaxing, seeing friends, playing sports, eating and drinking, or just hanging out”可知,周末是用来放松、见朋友、参加体育运动、吃喝或仅仅闲逛的,A、B、D三项均包括在内,C项(准备一顿丰盛的午餐)在文中并未提及。故选C。
