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 (中介机构) advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the  1  in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as  2  as if I were going on the stage. Finding the  3  quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”

The simple atmosphere of the office   4  me. The woman looked carefully at me  5  through her glasses, and then  6  me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather  7  . She wondered why I was looking for this sort of  8  . I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be   9  to get a job without  10  . I wondered whether I ought to leave,   11 the telephone on her desk rang. I heard her say: “  12 , I’ve got someone in the  13  at this very moment who might  14 .” She wrote down a  15 , and held it out to me, saying: “ Ring up this lady. She wants a   16  immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”

“ Oh yes,” said I —  17  having cooked for more than four in my life. I  18  her again and again, and rushed out to the   19  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   20  cook books.
