　　A farewell(告别) party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any public show where she didn't know anyone. It made her 　(1)　 hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion(场合) like this when she knew 　(2)　, there was no 　(3)　 to feel shy.　(4)　 she had made up her mind to 　(5)　 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 good-bye to its 　(6)　 －she had left so many other 　(7)　, and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.

　　Yet this 　(8)　 was a particular occasion, and she hadn't had so many of those in her 　(9)　. She had put on her 　(10)　 black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of 　(11)　 for one evening, but now they had 　(12)　 old Miss Hutton of all people to give the 　(13)　 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense(意义) in getting 　(14)　 about it, for it was the first rule her 　(15)　 had given her－avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as 　(16)　 showed through the sleeve(袖子) of her 　(17)　, dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor's orders worked! For, 　(18)　 out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off at the end of her 　(19)　 with a cloud of, tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl's funny expression. She 　(20)　 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.
