It is surprising that eating three meals a day—breakfast， lunch， and dinner—has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time， people only had two meals a day—breakfast and dinner.

In the 16th century， breakfast was only to break ones fast. But 200 years later it had become a large meal， not just for family， but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 11 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became， instead， a lighter family meal and was taken at a much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m. and became a family meal.

Dinner， however， went to the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a.m. Years later， it had moved to the early afternoon， then to 5 p.m.. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap between breakfast and dinner.

26. People did not have lunch ____ .

A. until 1890 B. after 1890 C. since 1890 D. by 1890

27. Breakfast became a family meal since the ____ .

A.16th century B. 17th century C. 18th century D. 19th century

28. The underlined sentence “Dinner， however， went to the other way” means “____”

A. Dinner didnt go there with breakfast. B. Dinner took the same way as breakfast.

C. Dinner is different from breakfast. D. Dinner is the same as breakfast.

29. The passage is mainly about ____ .

A. what people eat for breakfast B. what people eat for dinner

C. the history of supper D. the history of the three meals

30. The passage leads us to believe that ____ .

A. breakfast is the most important meal for us
