After bills, Tony has ￡60 a week to spend, ￡40 of which goes on food, but 10 years ago he was earning ￡130, 000 a year working in corporate communications and eating at London's best restaurants at least twice a week.

And I felt like that again’to a certain degree，when people responded to the blog so well. It gave me the validation and confidence that I' d lost. But it's still a day-by-day thing. ” Now he's living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents. He's feeling positive，but he' 11 carry on blogging-not about eating as cheaply as you can-“there are so many people in a much worse state，with barely any money to spend on food”-but eating well on a budget.

本段首句出现了转折连词but, 重点在转折之后。but后提到“it really is a top tip”,即“这真的是一个好提议”。后面第二句是对Hp内容的解释，即“经常在一些小商小贩那里买东西, 并且态度要友好”，末句说明了对小商贩态度友好所带来的好处。[A]项中shop-keepers 对应文中 shop at butchers… regularly, are your friends 对应文中 be super friendly, 因此[A]项为正确答案。
