4 . Everyone has a wish to travel.But those who cannot do so themselves might find it _________ to work in a travel agency(旅行社),_________ journeys for other people.Brian Lawley does this,working in a small travel agency in an industrial city.Most of his work is concerned with holidays,both at home and abroad.Every autumn the agency _________ hundreds of booklets(小册子) full of attractive,coloured photographs,_________ the holidays that the customers will be able to have the next year.Soon,people begin to come into the office to _________ their holidays:perhaps a week’s skiing in Australia in January,perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May,or a tour of North Africa.Brian often has to _________ people on what holidays will be _________ for them.And people always have a lot of questions.Last year,for example,a lady of eighty-two wanted to book a mountaineering holiday in the Alps,and Brian had great difficulty in _________ her that it would not be suitable.In the end,she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise(游览) _________.
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel ____________ on business is often very complicated,but Brian ____________ his work.For example,last spring,Mr Perry,director of a local chemical firm,____________ a business trip,and Brian arranged it all for him.First,Mr Perry travelled to London by train,and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport,because his plane ____________ early the next morning.He flew to Frankfurt,where he ____________ the morning discussing business.Then he went on by train to Zurich,and spent three days there ____________ going on to America.He had business in Seattle,Chicago and New York,and then went home by train.The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.
