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

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

29. The passage is mainly about ____ .
