Read this passage and the sentences.
Choose the best sentence from the list A—G to fill in each of the gaps.
For each gap (8—12), mark one letter (A—G) on your Answer Sheet.
Do not mark any letter more than once.
There is an example at the beginning.
We are living in the world where almost everything can be bought, no matter goods or services. Sometimes we tend to wonder whether we are still free to make our own decisions to choose this or that. After all, this is a commercial world. Progress always has more than one face. We begin to feel puzzled before making decisions.
The variety of choices that modern life offers can create problems. People get too hurried, have trouble communicating, and often find they are incapable of planning and organizing their lives effectively. Example A woman in New York City is a professional timesaver. Millie of "Let Millie Do It" can be hired to wait for repairmen, drive children to appointments, meet relatives at the airport, pay bills, or shop. She will also water plants, take care of pets, and do certain kinds of house cleaning. For big cleaning jobs, however, it’s best to get in touch with Disaster Masters, another New York City firm. 8 this includes, of course, restoring damaged wall, floors, and furniture. If you are able to pay, actually you will be relieved from a lot of dull chores. Won’t this be nice?
People with a communication problem might want to use Lipservice, a California firm that provides "verbal Proxy". 9 The company’s staff can tell someone off, or say "I love you" in eight languages and has done so for clients in such places as Texas, Canada, England, and Australia. It is really wonderful for those who are lonely to feel some warmth. For offbeat entertainment, people in California can contact a young professional whistler. 10 If popular music is more appropriate, the imaginative host can hire the Human Jukebox. 11 When a coin is dropped into the box, he pops out and plays the selected tune on a trumpet. Have you ever entertained the idea to have such interesting experience? It is really the world as people often say "Money makes the mare go".
Disorganized people can go to a "time-management consultant" who will tell them how to do more in less time, providing of course they take the advice. Insecure dressers can ask a wardrobe engineer for advice on how to dress in order to present their most favorable image, and daydream-ers can liven up their existence by calling Fantasy Fulfillment, a firm that makes fantasies come true. For $ 150 and up, things like driving a race car, riding a camel, or living in a ghost town can be easily realized. 12 This school helps you deal effectively with all the people who want to help out, for a price. Yes, when there is some profit, there will surely the way to get it. Are you ready to pay for what you want?
A. They will take care of any kind of household mess, but specialize in cleaning up after fires and floods.
B. Luckily, there are some services that one can turn to for help.
C. If you have something to say but can’t say it for some reason, Lipservice will say it for you.
D. Last, but not the least, a British consultant has started a School of Thinking.
E. This man sits in a large cardboard box.
F. The company has a very nice future.
G. He usually gives concerts, but for a fee, he will entertain at a private party by whistling the works of classical composers.
