D Reading
9 Read the text. Find words with the same meaning as 1–5.

I love my job!
1)
Jo Banks is a well-known and successful TV journalist. She’s been married to her husband,
Graham, for ten years. In June 2003, she was getting ready for a party to celebrate their tenth
wedding anniversary when the phone rang. She found out that her colleague was ill and couldn’t
attend a fashion show which was taking place in Milan that evening. Without hesitating, Jo agreed
to fly to Italy to report on the fashion show.
2)
Graham thought about cancelling the party, but he knew that a lot of friends and relatives were
already on their way. In the end, they had the party without Jo! All the guests were enjoying
themselves when Jo’s young nephew switched on the TV to watch a DVD. Imagine his surprise
when he saw Jo on the news. She was interviewing the top fashion designers and talking about what
was happening at the show.
3)
Jo loves her job and says, ‘If you’re a journalist, you can’t say, “No, I’m busy. I can’t go to Italy.”
You have to be unemotional and be able to change your plans at the last minute. You don’t have to
stay at home waiting for the phone to ring, but you must be flexible. I’m lucky because my friends
and family understand when I can’t be with them. I’ve been a journalist since 1990 and they respect
my job.’ Jo definitely isn’t a reliable guest. She has already missed several weddings and other
important events. If you invite her to your party, she might not come, but you’ll probably see her on
TV the next day!
