【解析】比薩餐廳的老板發(fā)現(xiàn)，許多父母無法控制自己的孩子，許多孩子不能安靜地吃飯，打擾了其他顧客，于是貼出了一個“禁止兒童”的標牌，引發(fā)了大家的爭議。

【1】句意：父母感到驚訝并且生氣地抱怨。前句中父母看到了“禁止兒童”的標識，感到不可思議，所以這里會生氣地抱怨，選項A“禮貌地”，選項B“生氣地”，選項C“溫和地”，選項D“清楚地”，故選B。

【2】句意：比薩餐廳的老板發(fā)現(xiàn)，許多父母無法控制自己的孩子，許多孩子不能安靜地吃飯，打擾了其他顧客。孩子的行為無法控制，這會“打擾”其他的顧客，選項A“不喜歡”，選項B“信任”，選項C“打擾”，選項D“組織”，故選C。

【3】句意：他說餐廳靠近繁忙的道路，如果父母沒有照顧好自己的孩子，可能會有一些危險。這句話是老板的辯解，他這么做是因為自己的店離馬路很近，對于不受控制的兒童會有潛在的危險，選項A“噪音”，選項B“快樂”，選項C“食物”，選項D“危險”，故選D。

【4】句意：其他人支持了他的決定。后面一句說的是“他們說他們厭倦了餐廳里吵鬧的孩子，現(xiàn)在他們終于擁有一個專屬成年人的地方了�！�，由此得出這些人是贊同老板的，選項A“支持”，選項B“取消”，選項C“拒絕”，選項D“解釋”，故選A。

【5】句意：事實上，許多其他餐館也遇到了同樣的問題。這里是想說這并不是個案，許多餐廳也有這個問題。選項A“簡要來說”，選項B“事實上”，選項C“畢竟”，選項D“作為回報”，故選B。

【6】句意：意大利有一家餐廳在處理這個問題上很有創(chuàng)意。后面說到這家餐廳對表現(xiàn)好的兒童會予以獎勵，說明這是一種創(chuàng)新的，有創(chuàng)意的解決方案，選項A“有創(chuàng)意的”，選項B“負責任的”，選項C“失望的”，選項D“瘋狂的”，故選A。
