A farewell party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her  36  hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew  37 , there was no  38 to feel shy.  39she had made up her mind to  40  people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its 41  — she had left so many other  42 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.

Yet this  43 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her  44. She had put on her  45  black dress and her long earrings.

Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting  49  about it, for it was the first rule her  50 had given her — avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as  51 showed through the sleeve of her  52  dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor’s orders worked! For 53  out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off the end of her  54  with a cloud of tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl’s funny expression. She  55 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.

第二节:读写任务(共1小题,满分15分)

阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

A 71-year-old man, surnamed Wang, in Northwest China Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous (adj. 自治的) Region who won a lottery jackpot(彩票奖金) of 5 million yuan has donated all of the money to charity. On November 21 when Wang arrived at the lottery complex in Urumqi to receive his prize, he donated the first batch of 500,000 yuan to a charity project. It aims to finance schooling of students in poverty.

“ I donated the money because I want to help others and I am very happy to do something for our society, ” he said. “Too much money means nothing to me. But this money will be very helpful for those in need.”

The old man was a retired worker with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in Changji. His pension was only 600 yuan per month, but he said the income from his pension was enough for him.

Wang came to Xinjiang in 1956 from North China’s Henan Province. He had been engaged in farming before retirement. His wife has passed away. Wang revealed he did not tell his only daughter, who lived outside Changji, he had won the prize.

“ My daughter lives in a good condition,” he said. “ I will not leave a single penny to her. Those people that urgently need help deserve the prize.”

Although his pension was merely 600 yuan per month, Wang claimed he never said no to others who wanted to borrow money from him if he could afford it. He began to buy welfare lottery tickets in 2003 when he learned that lottery jackpot would help those in need.
