My new home was a long way from the centre of London but it was becoming【C1】______ to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the tube. They were looking for guards, not【C2】______ . This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that i5 could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T. S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I would be a tube guard. I could see myself being【C3】______ , useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I would be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a【C4】______ income and travel privileges-- those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all【C5】______ because after half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The examiner sat at a desk. You were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been【C6】______ , after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: "Why did you leave your last job?" "Why did you leave your job before that?" "And the one before that?" I can’t【C7】______ my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a 【C8】______ , he had risen no higher than the underground railway. "You have failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position."
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs-- being a postman is another one I still【C9】______ --demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible【C10】______ that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.

B) candidate J) qualification
C) cheerful K) recall
D) desire L) right
E) dismissed M) righteous
F) driver N) sensible
G) essential O) steady
