【解析】

短文介绍了作者在美国的一家中国餐馆做服务员的一段尴尬经历。从而知道每个国家都有各自的文化习惯，而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会，不过只要熟悉对方的风俗习惯做到入乡随俗，一切问题就解决了。

【1】【1】句意：我有了一份在一家中国餐馆当服务员的兼职工作。此处缺少职业名词，工作地点是一家中国餐馆，可以判断是在一家餐馆当服务员，故答案为waiter。

【2】【2】句意：那位夫人问我怎样这么快就把他们的食物带来了。副词修饰动词bring，结合句意可知，答案为quickly。

【3】【3】句意：当她听到这句话时，我发现她不高兴。根据后面的句子“When I told the couple I respected the elderly，they got angry because this made them feel they___9___ to stay young. They didn't want to hear that.”可知，当那位夫人听到作者称他们为老者时，一点也不高兴。答案为unhappy。

【4】【4】句意：他把我带到一边，并且告诉我美国人对“年老”的描述是敏感的，讨厌的。此处缺少谓语动词，根据主句的时态可以判断，填入的动词要用过去式形式，通过下文中的句子When I told the couple I respected the elderly，they got angry because this made them feel they___9___ to stay young. They didn't want to hear that.可知，美国人是不喜欢别人说他们老的，故答案为hated。

【5】【5】句意：然后我走回餐桌，礼貌地向那位夫人道歉。副词修饰动词词组said sorry to，结合句意可知，答案为politely。

【6】【6】句意：在他们了解原因之后，他们知道这个问题是由文化差异引起的。此处缺少名词，充当句子的宾语，根据后面的内容可知，这对夫妇在了解事情的真相后，原谅了作者，故答案为reason。

【7】【7】句意：在他们了解原因之后，他们知道问题是由文化差异引起的。短文告诉我们每个国家都有各自的文化习惯，而这种文化上的差异往往会引起一定的误会，故答案differences。

【8】【8】句意：在这里许多人试图通过锻炼，比如慢跑或游泳来防止自己变老。by doing sth.通过做某事的方式，慢跑或游泳都是锻炼身体的方式，故答案为exercising。

【9】【9】句意：他们很生气，因为这让他们觉得自己没能保持年轻。作者说他尊重老年人，这对夫妇认为别人说他们变老了，这让他们觉得自己没能保持年轻。fail to do sth.做某事失败，先后句的时态都是过去时，因此fail也要用过去式形式，故答案为failed。

【10】【10】句意：我仍然尊重他们，但现在采取了不同的、间接的方式。形容词修饰名词，结合句意可知，答案为direct。
