问题     Standing alone at the Browns’ party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind’s eye. He was a thin man, forty - one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they’d been married he had changed very little: he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish. She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic(神级机能病的)about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist(精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward’s pleading(恳求). In the Browns’ rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming(发微光)with a metallic(金属般的)surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband. In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three -quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised. The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room. When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.
Why did Anna feel awkward at the party?
选项 A、She came to the party too early.
B、She was neglected by the host.
C、She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.
D、She didn’t know anyone there.
答案D
解析 布朗一家是丈夫在做生意时认识的，安娜从来没有见过他们，所以感到尴尬。
