题目内容：

James sat outside the office waiting for the interview. He felt so 36that he didn’t know what to do with himself. The person who had gone in 37him had been in there for nearly an hour. And she looked so confident when she went in, not like James. He felt 38that she had already got the job. The problem was that he wanted his job so much. It meant everything to him. He had 39it such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself 40brilliantly（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 42to 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 43like 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 44with herself. She smiled sympathetically （同情地）at James. At the moment, James 45her. 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 47and forehead sweating and wondered he looked as terrified as he felt.
