阅读下面短文,然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

Dear Sir,

  I read your article(of the 4th of February)about the cost living in the country rather than the town, and I agree with most of the points that you made.My husband and I lived in the middle of Horlton until two years ago-a seaside town of nearly five hundred thousand people.When my husband stopped working, we moved to our present house in a small village at the foot of Roland Hill, and our costs are higher now.

  I have to do my shopping in small shops, where the food is more expensive than in city supermarket; it costs more to travel by bus; and because the men who come to mend the TV set.or the washing machine, have to come further, we have to pay them more.

  But it does not cost us as much to enjoy what is beautiful in the country; and peace and quiet are cheap.Many people spend a good deal of time and money driving into the country to enjoy the simple things of life; yet we can enjoy them just by going out of the front door.It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton, but now life is really worth living.

Yours faithfully,

Edith Randall(Mrs)
