【2】to eat

【3】Finally

【4】how

【5】the

【6】learned

【7】but

【8】yourself

【9】is

【10】satisfaction

【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文，講述了一位男士來到美國吃自助餐的故事， 他從中明白：只有靠自己才可以取得成功。

【1】After 是介詞，后面動詞用動名詞形式，句子主語和settle 之間是主動關(guān)系，所以填settling 。

【2】get something to do中to do 作定語修飾前面的不定代詞，主動表示被動，故填to eat。

【3】修飾整個句子用副詞，final 是形容詞，所以用它的副詞形式，因為是句首，故填Finally。

【4】句意：一位婦女告知他自助餐廳的吃飯是怎樣運作的。這里是一個賓語從句，缺少引導(dǎo)詞，根據(jù)句意應(yīng)該用how。

【5】根據(jù)前面一句“Start out at that end,”吃自助餐時，在那一端開始，所以根據(jù)句意At65other end 在另一段結(jié)束，one---the other---一方面---另一方面，故填the。

【6】在告訴過去的一件事情，所以句子用一般過去時態(tài)，“I soon66(learn) how everything worked in the USA,” the man told his friend.這個男士告訴他的朋友，“在美國我不久就了解到了每件事情怎樣運作”。故填learned。

【7】句意：你甚至可以取得成功，但如果你等著別人給你帶來成功，你永遠(yuǎn)都不會成功。上下文之間存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以使用but。

【8】句意：你不得不站起來，要依靠自己來得到成功。使用反身代詞yourself表示強調(diào)。

【9】The only things是句子的主語，這是一個單數(shù)名詞，而且本句是一般現(xiàn)在時，所以使用is。

【10】本句中缺少主語，使用使用satisfy的名詞satisfaction，英語happiness并列。
