18.If you go on holiday in Italy,Spain or Greece,don't be (61)surprised (surprise) if everything is closed at noon.It's not because the shops are suffering a hard time,but it's because everyone is at lunch.In these Mediterranean countries,the locals take lunch very (62)seriously (serious).In contrast to many other countries,lunch here is not a quick snack (63)consumed (consume) in front of the computer or on the way to (64)a meeting.It is the main event of the day and can last for several hours,(65)covering (cover) many courses.Its origin is simple.Because of the hot climate in these countries,farmers thousands of years ago (66)introduced (introduce) a rest during the hottest time of the day.They would have a big meal and then take a nap in (67)preparation (prepare) for the remaining work.
Although most employees now work in cooled offices,many families,especially on weekends,still enjoy a luxurious lunch.(68)However,the focus is not only on the food.It is a social gathering (69)where friends share food,and enjoy the company of others.
This approach to life and eating has many benefits.According to health experts,the Mediterranean diet is one of the (70)healthiest (health) in the world.Many people in Italy,Spain and Greece enjoy a long,healthy and happy life.
