完形填空。

On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront café on a Greek island. Over a hundred degrees in   1   air. Crowded. Tempers (脾气) of both the tourists and waiters had   2   to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment (环境).      At the table next to mine sat an attractive,   3   couple, waiting for   4  . They held Hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their   5   and stepped together   6   the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped   7   for the two chairs. He politely   8   his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.         9   appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to  10  the table and take their  11 , and then walked back to the  12  cheers of the rest of his  13 . Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went  14  into the water to  15  the wine. The couple toasted (祝酒) each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd  16  by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables  17   to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.      One doesn't step into water in one's best summer clothes. Why not?      Customers are not served  18 . Why not?      Sometimes one should consider  19  the line of convention (常规) and enjoy  20  to the fullest.
