1. The underlined word “alluring” in Paragraph 2 means______.

A. lively       B. terrible

C. attractive    D. cool

解析：词义猜测题。根据上文可知Anita舞跳得好，以及下文作者说“I couldn't take my eyes off her.”自己没办法从Anita身上移开视线。从而可知，Anita跳舞很吸引人。因此可以猜测出，“alluring”与“attractive”意思相近。

答案：C

2. Why didn't the author dance with Anita at the beginning of the party?

A. It was hard to find a chance to do so.

B. He thought Anita would look down upon him.

C. He hadn't made up his mind to dance with her.

D. Anita liked dancing with the wealthy young man.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“But every time I tried to move toward her to ask her to dance，some guys，well dressed，would cut in front of me.”可知，每次当作者想要请Anita跳舞时总会有人插到作者前面，所以作者一直没有机会和Anita跳舞。

答案：A

A. was very nervous when he danced with Anita for the first time

B. had only one dance with Anita at that Christmas party

C. knew Anita at a Christmas party and two years later they married

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“It was not until the evening's second­to­last dance that I was finally able to catch my turn with the Dancing Queen，...and I somehow managed to make it through to the end of the dance.”可知，作者直到倒数第二支舞才有机会和Anita跳舞，并成功地延续到这支舞结束，所以作者在圣诞聚会时只和Anita跳了一支舞。

答案：B

4. What is the writer trying to tell us?

A. A good beginning is half done.

B. He who risks nothing gains nothing.

C. Where there is a will, there is a way.

D. The first step is difficult but important.

解析：写作意图题。根据最后一段“...no step is more important than the first step.It may be embarrassingly weak，or even painful，but it leads to success.”可知，作者写本篇文章的目的是告诉人们第一步很困难但是很重要。
