In many European countries it is normal to have a long break in the middle of the day when all members of the family return to their houses to eat together. This is not very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in Britain because normally it is a long way from the place of work or school to the home. The {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people often have a big breakfast before they go to work and the meal at midday is not{#blank#}3{#/blank#} _with the members of the family but with workmates or schoolmates. Lunch is normally{#blank#}4{#/blank#} between 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm. Most people finish work at five thirty. It often take at _{#blank#}5{#/blank#} an hour to get home from the school or workplace so people eat their meal {#blank#}6{#/blank#} "dinner" between 6:30 pm and 9 pm.
On Sundays people don't have to work so they take the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to eat together with their family. Sunday lunch is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the best meal of the week and many of the meals which are considered real British food are eaten for Sunday lunch, such as roast beef and pudding.

    This morning Mrs. Jones was moving to the nursing home again. It was very busy. After hours of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, Mrs. Jones still smiled sweetly when she was told that her room was ready. As usual, I took her to her room. On our way, I told her what her room was like.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she said, "I love the room!"

    "But Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room yet!" I was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at her reply.

    She stopped and said, "Happiness is something that depends on {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Whether I like my room or not depends on how I decide to think about the room. I have already decided to love the room before I actually see it. I can spend the day in or out of bed to be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that I can still enjoy a new day. Each day is a gift. I'll enjoy my life and all the happy memories in my brain."
