Everyone has a wish to travel. But those who cannot do
so themselves might find it 26 to work in a travel agency, 27 journeys for other people.
Tom does this, working in a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of
his work is concerned with 28 ,both
at home and abroad. Every autumn, the agency 29 hundreds of booklets (小册子) full
of attractive, colored photographs,30the
holidays that the customers will be able to have the next year. Soon, people
began to come into the office to 31 their
holiday: perhaps a week's skiing in Austria
in January, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain
in May, or a tour of North Africa. Tom often
has to 32 people on what
holidays will be 33 for them.
And people always have a lot of 34
.Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a 35 holiday in the Alps, and Tom
had great difficulty in 36 her
that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a
Mediterranean cruise(地中海巡游)
37 . Arranging journeys for people who have to travel 38 on business is often very 39 , but Tom 40 his work. For example, last
spring, Mr Perry, director of a local chemical firm, 41 a business
trip, and Tom arranged it all for him. First Mr Perry
traveled to London
by train ,and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport, because his plane
42 early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt,
where he43 the morning
discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich,
and spent three days there44 going
on to America.
He had business in Seattle, Chicago
and New York,
and then home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to 45 Tom for arranging everything
so well for him.
