B
　　　Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn (旅店) at the foot of a hill.
One year, however, Mr Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.
　　　They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They had expected that they would have to go to bed hungrily, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there that night. “Are you still serving dinner？” asked Mr Smith. “Yes, certainly, sir，” answered the waiter, “we serve it until half past nine.”
　　　“What are the times of meals then？” asked Mr Smith. “Well, sir，” answered the waiter，“we serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine.”
　　　“But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London，” said Mr Smith.

（２）推理判断。根据第二段可知他们赚了钱，准备去伦敦——英国的首都度假。故选Ｂ。
（３）推理判断。根据第三段第一句他们飞去伦敦。flew是fly的过去式，故选B。
