James sat outside the office waiting for

James sat outside the office waiting for the interview. He felt so    36  that he didn’t know what to do with himself. The person who had gone in   37  him had been in there for nearly an hour. And she looked so confident when she went in, not like James. He felt    38  that she had already got the job. The problem was that he wanted his job so much. It meant everything to him. He had   39  it such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself   40  brilliantly（出色地）at the interview and being offered the job immediately. But now here he was feeling    41 . He couldn’t remember all those things he   42  to say. At that moment, he almost decided to get up and leave. But no – he had to do this. He had spent so much time considering it that he couldn’t    43  like that. His hands were hot and sticky and his mouth felt dry. At last the door of the office opened. The woman who had gone in an hour earlier came out looking very    44   with herself. She smiled sympathetically （同情地）at James. At the moment, James    45  her. The managing director then appeared at the office door. “would you like to come in now, Mr. Davis? I’m sorry to have kept you    46 .” James suddenly wished that he had gone home after all. He got up, legs    47  and forehead sweating and wondered he looked as terrified as he felt.
