Answer 1

选A,
可以利用排除法，排除 B C D两项, D 项和B项文中没有明确提到。再看文中“the man was very surprised and rather disappointed” 的前面，“he walked away quickly”可以明白，本来这位客人是想难道waiter，结果waiter在听到这位客人的菜单时没有丝毫的疑惑或是为难，所以客人很失望。

Answer 2

答案是A.
这个人看到这家餐馆不管什么不寻常的菜都能做，想要为难一下餐馆经理和大厨，就点了夹印度大象耳朵的面包，结果餐厅服务员说“好的，先生，不会用多久时间”，所以他觉得自己的目的没有达到，感到既吃惊又失望。

文章几乎没有新鲜的词汇，很简单。
