Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词组完成短文)
It was my birthday last Thursday and I decided to celebrate by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a quiet part of town. It is one of my favourite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, because people know about it, so it is not usually necessary to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening as a rule.
When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised to find it completely . I looked around 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 (入侵)! the place was full! We can hardly manage.”
The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. “The people there are about to leave,” he said, “Just hold on and you’ll find a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people at the corner table paid their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
Unfortunately our table was almost out of sight. We to attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there, but he, like all the other waiters, was kept busy with the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. But at last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very pleased with life. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table, I advised my friends about the best dished and finally the waiter went off with our .
A few moments later he returned to our table. We could tell from his face that he had for us. Looking a little embarrassed (尴尬的), he informed (通知) us that there was no meat or fish left. “All we can offer you,” he said, “is an omelet (煎蛋卷)!”
