ACCEPT, APPROPRIATE, EMPLOY, CONSULT When you have accepted our offer of (B1) [blank_start]employment[blank_end] you will be given a uniform which you have to wear while on duty. Our uniform has been designed after detailed (B2) [blank_start]consultations[blank_end] with members of staff and reflects the quality and style of our business. It helps to form the customers' first impression of us. Please note that male staff are not permitted to wear jewellery of any kind and female staff must not wear rings or earrings which are (B3) [blank_start]inappropriate[blank_end] in shape or design. Wristwatches must be (B4) [blank_start]acceptable[blank_end] in size and appearance.

REWARD, SAD, SUSPECT, SCIENCE Moods are infectious — and that's official! (B1) [blank_start]Scientists[blank_end] have proved that you can catch joy or (B2) [blank_start]sadness[blank_end] like colds or flu, whether you want to or not, especially at work. They have only recently started noticing that cheerfulness is also catching. John Addison, a department store assistant, was finding his work boring and (B3) [blank_start]unrewarding[blank_end]. "The previous manager was (B4) [blank_start]suspicious[blank_end], and it was difficult to work when he was around," he says. "Then we got someone else who is funny and who gives out a lot of energy, and I suddenly felt much warmer towards the job."

END, INCREASE, IMPORTANCE, EXCITE Many years ago, archaeology was about making discoveries and finding buried treasure. Now it has become a more scientific subject. Archaeologists are becoming (B1) [blank_start]increasingly[blank_end] interested in finding out more about the lives of ordinary people rather than the dramatic lives of kings and emperors. 99% of archaeology is concerned with reading, excavating, recording, and classifying, and it is neither thrilling nor dangerous. However, the real (B2) [blank_start]excitement[blank_end] of archaeology comes through an (B3) [blank_start]endless[blank_end] stream of new discoveries. Even the smallest piece of pottery, however (B4) [blank_start]unimportant[blank_end] it may appear at first glance, can change our whole understanding of things that happened in the past.

HEALTH, ADDICT, VARY, REPRESENT Cigarette advertising is a popular topic for discussion, as an increasing number of people believe that it should be banned (запрещено). I support this view for a (B1) [blank_start]variety[blank_end] of reasons. In the first place, cigarette advertising should be stopped because an (B2) [blank_start]unhealthy[blank_end], harmful product is being promoted. Another major reason for banning cigarette advertising is the fact that it targets young people. They become attracted to the glamorous (B3) [blank_start]representation[blank_end] of smoking, which leads to them taking up the habit. The average teenager does not consider the harmful effects of smoking or the fact that Smoking is (B4) [blank_start]addictive[blank_end].

WILL, DISAPPOINT, EXPENSE, LUXURY It's hаrd to find а place to eat which satisfies the whole family. I remember mу parents taking me as а child to the most (B1) [blank_start]inexpensive[blank_end] restаuгаnt they could find. Theу didn't think it was worth spending a lot of mоneу"оn sоmeоne who had nо tаble mаnners. Today, the сhоiсе of restаurаnts is so great, hоwever, that total (B2) [blank_start]disappointment[blank_end] is rare. It's difficult to explain exactly what I am looking for in а гestаuгаnt. It's certainly not (В3) [blank_start]luxurious[blank_end] surroundings, although I must admit that I'm usually (B4) [blank_start]unwilling[blank_end] to gо into а place that looks dirty.

DOUBT, END, WISE, INSPIRE My first mеmоriеs of mу gгапdfаthег Ruskin аrе associated with lаughter, fun and (B1) [blank_start]endless[blank_end] stories that would capture my attention. Grandfather's thick white beard made him look like a pirate. He was usually dressed and he disliked wearing a suit and a tie. Now that my grandfather has passed away, I miss chatting with him. He was, (B2) [blank_start]undoubtedly[blank_end], a real (B3) [blank_start]inspiration[blank_end] to me. I will always remember his (B4) [blank_start]wisdom[blank_end] and his love of life.

DOUBT, ANXIOUS, MOTION, SOLVE Nowadays, anyone who is trying to ease pain or reduce their level of (B1) [blank_start]anxiety[blank_end] can try a treatment which is known as flotation therapy. The patient is asked to lie (B2) [blank_start]motionless[blank_end] in a large tank, which is illed with warm salty water. Whenthe patient is in the water, it is so peaceful that he or she becomes extremely relaxed. Studies have shown that the therapy will (B3) [blank_start]undoubtedly[blank_end] be of considerable assistance in giving up smoking, losing weight and finding effective (B4) [blank_start]solutions[blank_end] to difficult problems.

LONELY, DOUBT, RELY, FRIEND Many people strongly believe that (B1) [blank_start]friendship[blank_end] is more important than romantic love. (B2) [blank_start]Undoubtedly[blank_end], a life without friends would be filled with feelings of (B3) [blank_start]loneliness[blank_end] and isolation. We would never experience all the warmth that comes from sharing a close relationship with someone. A real friend will always be faithful and (B4) [blank_start]reliable[blank_end]. It will be someone to whom you can tell your deepest most personal thoughts in complete confidence.

NUMBER, ABLE, TRAGIC, INVENT Thomas Midgley is possibly the world's unluckiest (B1) [blank_start]inventor[blank_end]. He was incredibly successful in his day, patenting over a hundred different ideas and receiving (B2) [blank_start]numerous[blank_end] awards and medals. But his inventiveness cost him his life. After a bad attack of polio left him with an (B3) [blank_start]inability[blank_end] to walk without help, he invented a system of harnesses (ремни) to support himself. (B4) [blank_start]Tragically[blank_end], one day he became entangled (запутаться) in the harnesses, which resulted in his death. Perhaps not all scientific progress is good progress?

APPEAR, DELIGHT, EXPECT, RELY People who work as weather forecasters are often thought to have one of the most (B1) [blank_start]delightful[blank_end] jobs in the world. But (B2) [blank_start]appearances[blank_end] can be deceptive and many people would be surprised to learn that a forecaster's life can be extremely uneasy. So long as the forecasts prove (B3) [blank_start]reliable[blank_end] all is well and satisfactory but once a forecast proves incorrect the forecasters' telephones begin to ring very angrily with people complaining about the events totally ruined by an (B4) [blank_start]unexpected[blank_end] rainstorm.
