      Mr. and Mrs. Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey(新泽西州) in the past, staying in a small inn(小旅馆) 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 traveling around that famous city.

     They flew to London and arrived at their hotel one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.

     "Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr. Smith.

     "Yes, certainly, sir," answered the man. "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 Mrs. Smith.
