Answer:
The lights were glaringly bright as the music continued on its rhythmic beat. The laughing was contagious and suddenly everyone was taking part in the festivities of the party. Just when we decided that we'd had enough dancing for the night they entered the room, we were impressed by what they were wearing. Their outfits were outrageously stunning, elegant, yet casual enough for a small party such as this one. Everyone stared as they entered the room, the dancing ceased as the main attraction had seemed to enter.
Main Idea:
Make Sure to use descriptive words and dialogue. Why were people impressed by what they were wearing? Should be the main question you ask yourself while writing, make sure to have fun with it!
The answer would be C.

This is because indirect objects are nouns or pronouns that identify to whom or for whom the action of the </span>verb<span> is performed, as well as who is receiving the direct object. Indirect objects are seen infrequently.</span>
I guess this also depends on what the "Advanced Reading Skills" lessons talks about, but don't think of it as "really hard"! Work on one word, one phrase, one sentence, and you'll start making progress. =)
In general, when translating, the first thing you'll have to do is to understand the paragraph, but you're right, this isn't that easy a paragraph to translate. You could use an English dictionary, or a bilingual dictionary (http://www.nciku.com<span>is good for English-Chinese) to help you. While you're doing this, try to pick out important words and translate them first, and see if you could understand what each sentence means. </span>
<span>Sometimes, words may have multiple meanings or be used as metaphors - for example, "amputated" means "having been cut off", but in your 2nd sentence, it means that the poet should not be condemned and criticised to the point where he is treated as having no value. </span>
<span>Finally, after you've translated the text, don't forget to read it to check if it makes sense in the language you're using - and if it makes for smooth reading!</span>
