【解析】

短文介紹了作者在美國的一家中國餐館做服務員的一段尷尬經(jīng)歷。從而知道每個國家都有各自的文化習慣，而這種文化上的差異往往會引起一定的誤會，不過只要熟悉對方的風俗習慣做到入鄉(xiāng)隨俗，一切問題就解決了。

【1】【1】句意：我有了一份在一家中國餐館當服務員的兼職工作。此處缺少職業(yè)名詞，工作地點是一家中國餐館，可以判斷是在一家餐館當服務員，故答案為waiter。

【2】【2】句意：那位夫人問我怎樣這么快就把他們的食物帶來了。副詞修飾動詞bring，結(jié)合句意可知，答案為quickly。

【3】【3】句意：當她聽到這句話時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)她不高興。根據(jù)后面的句子“When I told the couple I respected the elderly，they got angry because this made them feel they___9___ to stay young. They didn't want to hear that.”可知，當那位夫人聽到作者稱他們?yōu)槔险邥r，一點也不高興。答案為unhappy。

【4】【4】句意：他把我?guī)У揭贿�，并且告訴我美國人對“年老”的描述是敏感的，討厭的。此處缺少謂語動詞，根據(jù)主句的時態(tài)可以判斷，填入的動詞要用過去式形式，通過下文中的句子When I told the couple I respected the elderly，they got angry because this made them feel they___9___ to stay young. They didn't want to hear that.可知，美國人是不喜歡別人說他們老的，故答案為hated。

【5】【5】句意：然后我走回餐桌，禮貌地向那位夫人道歉。副詞修飾動詞詞組said sorry to，結(jié)合句意可知，答案為politely。

【6】【6】句意：在他們了解原因之后，他們知道這個問題是由文化差異引起的。此處缺少名詞，充當句子的賓語，根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容可知，這對夫婦在了解事情的真相后，原諒了作者，故答案為reason。

【7】【7】句意：在他們了解原因之后，他們知道問題是由文化差異引起的。短文告訴我們每個國家都有各自的文化習慣，而這種文化上的差異往往會引起一定的誤會，故答案differences。

【8】【8】句意：在這里許多人試圖通過鍛煉，比如慢跑或游泳來防止自己變老。by doing sth.通過做某事的方式，慢跑或游泳都是鍛煉身體的方式，故答案為exercising。

【9】【9】句意：他們很生氣，因為這讓他們覺得自己沒能保持年輕。作者說他尊重老年人，這對夫婦認為別人說他們變老了，這讓他們覺得自己沒能保持年輕。fail to do sth.做某事失敗，先后句的時態(tài)都是過去時，因此fail也要用過去式形式，故答案為failed。

【10】【10】句意：我仍然尊重他們，但現(xiàn)在采取了不同的、間接的方式。形容詞修飾名詞，結(jié)合句意可知，答案為direct。
