Question

【题目】My friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in Thailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) in Manhattan to get something to eat．He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order(点菜). Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked．
