Question

Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.

    I had seen an agency (中介機構(gòu)) advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the  61  in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as  62   as if I were going on the stage. Finding the  63   quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”

    The simple atmosphere of the office   64   me. The woman looked carefully at me  65  through her glasses, and then  66   me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather   67   . She wondered why I was looking for this sort of   68   . I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be   69   to get a job without   70   . I wondered whether I ought to leave,   71  the telephone on her desk rang. I heard her say: “  72  , I’ve got someone in the  73   at this very moment who might  74  .” She wrote down a  75  , and held it out to me, saying: “ Ring up this lady. She wants a   76   immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”

    “ Oh yes,” said I —  77  having cooked for more than four in my life. I  78   her again and again, and rushed out to the   79   telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. I spent the next few hours   80   cook books.
