When Andrew Garter was offered the position of Senior European Sales Manager in a large, successful multinational corporation, he A21……………… at the chance. One of the main
reasons for his immediate acceptance was the opportunity for a large amount of foreign travel. He could see himself relaxing in a cafe by the Seine after a hard day's business, before jetting
A22 ……………… to an important meeting the next morning in Prague. How romantic it all
seemed.
And yet now, only eight months after his first day in the job, how different his emotions were. For Andrew Carter was experiencing what many international business travellers had experienced before him, and will experience for years to come, that a life A23……………… on planes and in hotels is lonely, dull and exhausting.
He longed to be back at home, and dreamt of the simple pleasures of having someone to watch television with, of being asked how his day was. As he lay on the bed in his luxurious, yet strangely soulless hotel room, he A24……………… the empty evening ahead of him. 'What's the A25……………… ,' he asked himself, as he had done so many times, 'of going out this evening?
I won't talk to anyone. I won't have anyone to enjoy it with. Every city's the same when you're alone.' Not wanting to sit alone at a table in the hotel restaurant, he decided to have his evening meal delivered to his room by room service. Leafing through the menu, Andrew was
A26 ……………… by another desire - for some simple, home-cooked food. He sighed.
And then he thought the unthinkable. 'I don't have to A27……………… on like this,' he said out loud. 'I'm still young. My whole life's ahead of me. I could quit my job and do something I really enjoy. So what if I don't make so much money? Money isn't everything.'
It would take several years, and a number of A28……………… starts, but finally Andrew Carter did leave his highly-paid position. He was scared, but for the first time in his life he was truly content.

Carol Chadbond leant on the counter by the till, chewing gum, and gazed at the customers in the shoe shop. There were only two: a young girl and her mother. They had been A21 ……………… on shoes for twenty minutes, unable to agree on anything. The girl wanted something expensive and fashionable, A22 ……………… the mother wanted something cheap and practical. Carol watched them argue and thought how bored she was.
She wished she hadn't agreed to stand in for Julie on a Saturday morning. She could be out with her friends now, drinking coffee and gossiping instead of waiting for people to A23 ……………… their minds up. The mother came over with a shoe in her hand.
'I wonder if you have this in a size 4,' she said. Carol took the shoe and smiled the automatic smile she A24 ……………… , for customers.
I’ll go and have a look. Won't be a minute,' she said and went into the storeroom. She quickly found the shoes, then sat on a stool, hoping to waste a few minutes by A25 ……………… to look for the shoes. She thought about her plans for that evening. She was looking forward to going to the cinema and seeing her favourite actor's latest film. Realising that she hadn't invited Amy, she got out her mobile and quickly dialled the number. It rang twice before Amy answered.
'Hi, it's me!' Carol said. 'Guess what? I'm at work. Listen, what are you doing later?'
Soon, Amy was telling Carol all about what had happened the night before and who had said what to whom. Forgetting where she was, Carol got more and more A26 ……………… in the
conversation, crying 'Really?' and 'I don't believe it!' at the more interesting moments in the story. A low cough came from the door of the storeroom. Carol looked up to see the woman customer standing there with a very annoyed A27……………… on her face. Even worse, the shop manager, Mrs Lewis, was standing right behind her.
'Erm ... I'll call you back,' Carol said into the phone, and hung A28 ……………… . Somehow, she had the feeling that she might not have to work the following Saturday morning.
