I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food. After about 20 minutes, a large group of people came in and placed their own 【1】.

To my disappointment, the group got served 【2】 me. I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. I overheard one of them bragging(吹嘘) about how he’s 【3】 to someone who works at the restaurant. Unable to take it anymore, I decided to leave. I called the waiter over to 【4】 my order.

He calmly told me, “Yours is a special order being prepared by the head chef himself. It’ll take a little more time. Please have a drink while you wait.”

I calmed down and waited patiently. Shortly after, my meal was served by 【5】 waiters with another four helpers.

To my surprise, the owner of the restaurant 【6】 out to be a long-lost friend of mine. He’d seen me as I walked in and decided to surprise me. He upgraded(升级) my 【7】 meal to a five-star meal for free.

【9】 is life! Some people are ahead of you, laughing at you and talking about how they are smarter, wiser and better than you, how they are well-connected and lucky. You are working 【10】 tirelessly, wondering why it’s taking so long for you to be rewarded the way they have.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，通过作者的一次就餐经历来阐述等待的意义。人生就像这次就餐经历一样，有些人早早就享受到了胜利的果实，而我们还得忍受漫长的等待，但仍要报以希望。因为之所以会等待这么久，是因为命运为你准备了一份特殊大礼，而准备这份大礼需要花更多的时间。

【1】句意：大约20分钟后，一大群人走了进来，并点了单。

结合前后文I walked into a restaurant and ordered some food和To my disappointment, the group got served before me可知，“我”和一群人先后进了一家餐馆并各自点了单。备选单词中order作名词，意为“点菜”，空格前为形容词性物主代词their，可知这群人点单不止一份，故order应用复数形式。故答案为orders。

【2】句意：令我失望的是，这群人比我先获得了服务。

根据下文I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily可知，尽管“我”先来点的单，但是餐厅却给后来的这群人先上了菜，“我”只能干看着他们开始吃饭。备选单词中before作介词，意为“在……之前”，符合句意，故答案为before。

【3】句意：我无意中听到其中一个人吹嘘自己和餐馆里某些员工很熟。

结合前后文I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily和Unable to take it anymore, I decided to leave可知，“我”先来了结果还只能看着别人先吃，他们一边先吃一边显摆自己与餐厅的某些员工相熟，于是“我”生气了，想走人了。be connected to为固定搭配，意为“与……有关系”，符合句意，故答案为connected。

【4】句意：我叫来了服务员，想让他取消我的点单。

根据句意及句子结构，空格处应填入意为“取消”的动词，与前面的to构成动词不定式结构，作目的状语。备选单词中cancel作动词，意为“取消”，在动词不定式结构中应用原形，故答案为cancel。

【5】句意：不久之后，我的饭菜由两个服务员端了过来，一同前来的还有另外四个助手。

根据句子结构，空格处单词应用于修饰后面的名词waiters，且根据后面with another four helpers提示，空格处也应填入一个表数量的基数词。备选单词中序数词second可转换为基数词two，意为“两个”，符合句意，故答案为two。

【6】句意：令我惊讶的是，餐馆的老板原来是我一个很久没联系的朋友。

turn out to be为固定搭配，意为“原来是”，且本文在叙述一件发生过的故事，故此处应用一般过去时，动词turn应用过去式，故答案为turned。

【7】句意：他把我原本简简单单的一餐饭免费升级为五星级大餐。

根据句子结构，空格处应填入形容词作定语修饰后面的名词meal，且根据句中upgraded … to a five-star meal提示可知，作者原本点的菜应该是很普通简单的，所以才有“升级到五星级大餐”这一说法。备选单词中simple意为“简单的”，符合句意，故答案为simple。

【8】句意：突然，他们开始低声抱怨，询问他们为什么没有得到这种服务。

根据空格前的asking提示，空格处应填入why来引导后面的从句。备选单词中why意为“为什么”，符合句意，故答案为why。

【9】句意：人生就是这么回事。

根据句子结构，句子缺主语。备选单词中such作代词，意为“这样的”，在句中可作主语，且位于句首首字母大写，故答案为Such。

【10】句意：你在不知疲倦努力工作的同时，也在疑惑为什么你要花这么长时间才能得到与他们相同的回报。

根据空格后tirelessly提示，空格处指的是“努力工作”。备选单词中hard作副词，与前面的working构成短语work hard，意为“努力工作”，符合句意，故答案为hard。
