1. (2024·模拟)  听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to present the first meeting of the Woodville<br />Lunch for Senior Citizens. We all hope that this will be a great success and that there<br />will be more to come. I am extremely pleased that so many of you are able to be here today<br />and I give a warm welcome to you all. I would like to say a particularly warm welcome to<br />Joan Miller who is 94 years old today. I am sure that you will all join me in wishing<br />Joan a very happy birthday. The aim of the club is, of course, not only to provide food<br />but also mainly to provide companionship, although it is extremely important that people of all<br />ages eat nutritious food and I can tell you now that it is delicious. I have already tasted<br />it. However, the club exists not only to provide food and I am sure that many of you would<br />like to stay on after the lunch things have been cleared away so that you can have a chat.<br />Today we are not in a hurry so that you can get to know each other. Indeed, I hope that<br />will be the case because that will show that you are all enjoying yourselves and that is<br />the main point of this club. Have fun!<br />Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to present the first meeting of the Woodville<br />Lunch for Senior Citizens.
