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 author talks about some American writers, who______.
选项
A、wrote stories about American eating habits
B、decided to enjoy leisurely lunches
C、eat while they work
D、wrote short plays to be presented at fancy night Clubs
答案
B
解析
作者在文章中谈到这一点时是这样说的:有些反叛作家成立了名叫“午餐三小时”的俱乐部,他们是一个快乐的例外。从这里我们知道,这些作家与大多数不重视午餐的美国人不一样,他们要好好享用午饭,所以正确答案为B;A.他们写了一些有关美国饮食习惯的故事;C.他们边工作边吃;D.写厂一些短剧为了在化装夜总会上演,这些都与原文不符或无关。
