It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is _38_ ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually _39_ to book a table. In _40_ case, Thursday is not a busy evening. When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely __41_ . I___ 42 __but not a single table was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. 'A party of tourists came in about half an hour ago.” he said. 'It was like an invasion (侵略).

At last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very _51_ with life. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table.

We could tell from his face that he had _53_ for us. 54_ a little sorry he told us that there was _55_ left. 'All we can offer you' he said, 'is an omelet (煎蛋卷) !' 小题1: A．remember B．celebrate C．memorize D．congratulate 小题2: A．quiet B．calm C．busy D．silent 小题3: A．hard B．often C．hardly D．always 小题4: A．necessary B．possible C．important D．certain 小题5: A．any B．this C．no D．that 小题6: A．empty B．full C．free D．quiet 小题7: A．looked up B．looked down C．looked around D．looked at 小题8: A．watch B．look after C．try D．manage 小题9: A．start B．leave C．end D．pay 小题10: A．find B．look C．wait D．watch 小题11: A．by B．beside C．at D．near 小题12: A．money B．bill C．food D．drinks 小题13: A．Luckily B．Fortunately C．Generally D．Unluckily 小题14: A．whom B．which C．he D．who 小题15: A．to B．with C．at D．on 小题16: A．exciting B．tired C．pleased D．disappointed 小题17: A．dishes B．food C．order D．menu 小题18: A．good presents B．good news C．bad news D．bad presents 小题19: A．Looking B．Seeing C．Looked D．Found 小题20: A．no meat or fish B．no meat and fish C．meat and fish D．not meat or fish
