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.
A French working day usually begins at ________in the morning and ends at________in the evening.

选项 A、7; 6
B、9; 6
C、8:20; 4:30
D、9; 7 or 8

答案B

解析 根据第一段第二句“…to commute to work, which starts at 9 a. m. ”可知,法国人通常上午9点开始上班:根据第二段最后一句“The working day usually ends at 6 p. m…. ”可知,工作日通常于下午6点结束。故选B。
