解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者叙述了自己在餐馆打工时遇到的一件尴尬的事情。通过细节描述，作者告诉了我们一个道理——做事应该细心，不能过于自信。

1. A. manager B. assistant

C. cook

D. waitress

[解析]考查名词。根据上文的“I got a job at a restaurant.”以及下文的“to wait tables on my own ”可知，“我”是和一位有经验的“服务员”(waitress)一块儿工作了好几天。

[答案] D

2. A. promised B. invited

C. allowed

D. advised

[解析]考查动词。句意：在和一位有经验的服务员一起工作几天后，我被允许独立地做招待。故用allow允许。promise承诺，invite邀请，advise建议，都不符合语境。

[答案] C

3. A. left B. given

C. brought

D. shown

[解析]考查动词。“我”幸运地被“分到”(give)几张离厨房不太远的桌子。leave离

开，bring拿来，show展出，都不符合语境。

[答案] B

4. A. kitchen B. street

C. restaurant

D. table

[解析]考查名词。上文提到“我”是在一家餐馆工作。不知不觉(Before I knew it)这家“餐馆”(restaurant)人满了。故选C。

[答案] C

5. A. angry B. calm

C. sad

D. happy

[解析]考查形容词。由“I was pleased with everything and...”和上文提及的“I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays”可知，“我”看到桌子旁边有托盘架很高兴，因为这样可以让自己更轻松地工作。

[答案] D

6. A. fixed B. trained

C. loaded

D. waited

[解析]考查过去分词。由第一段叙述可知，“我”在正式上岗之前，经过了几天的培训，显然这里提及的托盘架与之前的不一样。

[答案] B

7. A. slower B. lighter

C. quieter

D. easier

[解析]考查形容词比较级。句意：这个托盘架有好的手柄，这让我在服务时来回走动更容易。故用easier。

[答案] D

8. A. letting B. making

C. watching

D. having

[解析]考查动名词。由下文老人要将助步器要回可知，夫妇二人很喜欢“观看”(watching)“我”工作，但不得不中断“我”的工作。此处的watching有“欣赏”之意。

[答案] C

9. A. useful B. familiar

C. unusual

D. interesting

[解析]考查形容词。根据语境，借助于托盘架，“我”在工作时得心应手，它自然对“我”非常“有用”(useful)。

[答案] A

10. A. bag B. walker

C. tray

D. coat
