'Could you 1.bring the supermarket shopping home for me?

' Jili's mother asked

her. 'The rest of the shopping will 2.need about an hour and so I'll see you at
home. Here, 3.get hold of my car keys.' Jill wanted to get home as quickly as
possible, since her boyfriend, Matt, 4.accompany her to the college ball that
evening to celebrate the fact that she 5.received the prize for best final-year
student. She, therefore, decided to 6.use the side roads home to avoid the rush-
hour traffic on the main road. Before the supermarket trip she had bought a new
dress. The dress, which she had liked best, came in several different colours and
she 7.had chosen the green one. Then she had a dreadful thought. She didn't
have the dress. Where was it? Could someone 8.have stolen it when she was in
the supermarket? She might have left it on the floor by the checkout desk. In a
panic she rang her mother on her mobile but she 9.accepted the news of the
missing dress very calmly. This was because she knew that the dress was not
missing, but Jill did not realize this. Her mother teased Jill for a little, pretending
to think where the dress might be. However, when she realized that Jill couldn't
10.stand the suspense any longer, she told her that the dress was in the car boot
with the supermarket shopping. Jill stopped the car and checked. The dress was
there.
