听力原文： Americans eat breakfast and lunch quickly unless it is a social, business or fam

ily occasion. The evening meal is usually longer and a time for families to gather together. Rushing through daytime meals is part of the fast pace in America. Another reason for rushing through daytime meals is that many people eat in restaurants that are usually crowded with people waiting for a place so that they too can be served and return to work at the proper time. So each one hurries to make room for the next person. As with busy people everywhere there is a real difference with meals that are eaten in a hurry and those that can be enjoyed slowly with friends.

On which occasion do Americans eat slowly？

(11)

A．When the food is too hot.

B．When they enjoy the food.

C．When there is no one waiting.

D．When they are eating with their families
