Americans do not give cooking, "considered as one of the fine arts", an important place in life. Lunch is for them a kind of gratuity paid to the body. They hurriedly toss it a fruit or a fish and go back to work. Certain writers, in rebellion, have founded the club, "Three Hours for Lunch", but they are an agreeable exception. Even at dinner, general conversation is rare. Everyone talks to his neighbor. After dinner the men linger at the table, a custom inherited from England. In New York your host will often propose taking you to the theatre, or else he will provide a pianist, a singer, a lecturer. The idea of leaving the guests to themselves, and expecting them to get pleasure out of meeting one another, astonishes and even appalls him. His excessive modesty does not permit his imagining that his friends can be happy merely in being in his house, with one another. He treats them like children. On Christmas Eve you will see, in some of the pleasant homes in New York, Christmas trees for grown people. In other places, after a dinner at which you exchange ideas, there will be a magician who will do his best to amuse the oldsters. There you must realize that the absence of conversation in American homes comes, not from absence of ideas or lack of intelligence of understanding, but from an unconquerable shyness and a prodigious self-distrust.
The Americans hurry through lunch because ______.
选项
A、they are ambitious
B、they have rebelled against English customs
C、they don’ t think it is important
D、talking while eating is impolite
答案
C
解析
从文章前三句我们知道,午饭对美国人来说是一种对身体所付的小帐,这也就是说他们不重视午饭,认为午饭不重要,所以正确答案为C;A.他们雄心勃勃;B.他们与英国风俗背道而驰;D,吃饭时讲话是无礼的;这些均与原文不符。
