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.
{#blank#}9{#/blank#} everyone in Britain understands that "breakfast" is the first meal of the day, there is a lot of confusion(混乱) about the words for other meals such as "dinner, lunch, tea, high tea, elevenses, brunch, supper".

People often talk on their mobile phones when they are driving. But talking or sending messages over a mobile phone can be as{#blank#}1{#/blank#} as drunk driving.

Now, an American company invented a key by using Bluetooth technology {#blank#}3{#/blank#} help people drive safely. With the key, a driver can't talk or send messages when driving a car.
With Bluetooth technology, when the driver is driving, the phone will{#blank#}4{#/blank#} all incoming calls and messages by itself with “I am driving now. I will call you later.” The only calls allowed out are to emergency services. When the driver {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the car, he then can use the phone. This is all about saving lives and safer driving.

    Will Johnson has worked his way up the list of most popular stars in his country. In fact, it is not surprising that Will is so successful if we know about his early life.

Even today when Will thinks that he won't be able to do something, he will look back to his experience and keep telling {#blank#}10{#/blank#}"one brick at a time".
