【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：作者的第二个孩子出生后，他在一家餐馆找到了一份工作。作为一个有经验的服务员工作了几个月，他被允许单独接待顾客了。第一周一切都顺利。从那以后，他从中学到了许多，学会了更加谨慎。

1.C考查动词及语境理解。句意：我被允许单独接待顾客了。promised许诺；invited邀请； allowed允许；advised建议。Be allowed to do sth被允许做某事，所以选C。

2.A考查副词及语境理解。句意：第一周一切都顺利。well 好； quickly迅速地；safely安全地；wrong错误的。第一周一切都顺利。而并非“安全”。所以选A。

3.B考查副词及语境理解。句意：不管怎样，我仍然觉得端起这些托盘有点重。Therefore因此；However然而；Moreover此外；Finally最后。表示语气不是很强烈的转折，要用however，即不管怎样，我仍然觉得端起这些托盘有点重。并不是表结果“因而”，所以选B。

4.D考查形容词及语境理解。句意：我记得当我看到桌子附近的托盘架，我是多么高兴。 angry生气的；calm平静的；sad悲伤的； happy愉快的。因为这个托盘架可减轻劳动强度，当然感到高兴。所以选D。

5.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：它看起来不同于我受训时的托盘架。fixed修理；trained训练； put放；waited等待。即我觉得这个托盘架比通用的托盘架更好，这从下文也可以看出。所以选B。

6.D考查形容词及语境理解。句意：它有些可爱的把手，这使得它易于移动。slower更慢；lighter更轻；quieter更安静；easie更容易。根据下文，我的心情很舒畅，可知“它有些可爱的把手，这使得它易于移动。”所以选D。

7.A考形容词查及语境理解。句意：似乎你的托盘对你非常有用。useful有用的；different困难的；unusual不寻常的；interesting有趣的。当他们看到我将助步器当成托盘架使用，当然是对我很有用的。所以选A。

8.B考查名词及语境理解。句意：我的妻子需要她的助步器。bag袋子；walker助步器；tray托盘；coat外套。根据下一段第四句 “我把我的托盘放在了她妻子的助步器上了”，可知应选B项。

9.D考查形容词及语境理解。句意：我站在那里冻得像冰，但我的脸部发烧。cold冷的；full of joy充满喜悦；pale苍白的；on fire发烧。因做错了事，不好意思而感到脸部发烧。所以选D。

10.D考查动词及语境理解。句意：从那以后，我从错误学到了许多如我刚才描述的错误。 repeated重复；discovered发现；corrected改正；described描述。在这时用such as进行列举，应是我刚才描述的错误。所以选D。

考点：故事类阅读。
