(答案→)an
解析：
【小题1】句意：汤姆一个8岁的男孩，进入当地的一家咖啡店并且坐下。用不定冠词an，泛指“一个8岁的男孩”
【小题2】句意同上： Entered和sat是并列的动作。用and
【小题3】句意：小男孩把右手从口袋里拿出来。用his指代the boy’s
【小题4】句意：研究里面的硬币：coin
【小题5】句意：一些人在等着她的服务，服务员变得不耐烦：形容词“不耐烦的”impatient
【小题6】句意：她粗鲁的说“35美分”，用副词：rudely
【小题7】句意：小男孩有仔细的数了硬币。副词“再一次，又一次”again
【小题8】句意：服务员走开了。副词：离开“away/off”
【小题9】句意：不久服务员又回来了。It is not long before….，不久…
【小题10】这是倒装句，过去分词提前的完全倒装句，正常的语序是two nickels and five pennies — her tip were placed neatly beside the empty dish。her tip和place是被动关系，用placed
