阅读下列短文，从各题A、B、C、D中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

A

Mr. White had a farm in England. He and his wife grew a lot of things on the farm. They worked very hard. One day Mr. White said to his wife, “ Dear, let’s go to London next Sunday. We can have a good lunch there, and then we can go to the cinema.” His wife was very happy when she heard this, because she and her husband always ate a lot, and she didn’t like cooking three times every day.

They went to London by train and walked for an hour. When it was twelve o’clock, they wanted to have a meal. They looked at a few restaurants. In one of them there was a blackboard outside. On the blackboard was “ lunch 12:30 to 2:30, $ 11.50.”

“ Well, that’s good,” Mrs. White said, “ We eat for two hours for $11.50 here! This is the place for us.”
