They feel extreme mental or physical pain when without drugs.

Task 3
Directions: The following is a passage about setting up a dinner party. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No. 31 through No. 35). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.
Today formal

dinners have almost ceased (停止) to exist and the trend is toward the informal or friendly ones. However, to give a perfect dinner is still a most important accomplishment of a hostess, not only in terms of her service and culinary (烹调的) skill, but also of her personal charm and tack (机智).
When a couple plan to give a dinner, it is the hostess who decides the date and the principal guests who are to form the nucleus. If she decides that she will have an “older” dinner, she looks through her dinner list and asks her secretary to invite the Oldworlds by Telephone. She also picks out three or four additional names to be substituted for those who regret. Then she searches for a few amusing or good-looking young friends to give life and charm to her dinner, which might otherwise be heavy or dull. Usually only a fairly intimate friend is ever asked to fill a place. In this case, the hostess herself telephones. “Can you do me a great favor and fill a place at dinner tonight?” the one who receives this invitation is rather bound by the rules of good manners to accept it if possible.
