The following story uses words from GRE Word Group Set 2   Bold are corrections made by a native English speaker (Tommy).  

   
s738298952_209309_1924.jpg    Six years ago, when I first arrived in San Francisco, I thought, "WOW, this is it, this is America."  I believed that the rest of America would be the same as the place I am standing, California.  Well, in fact, I was wrong.  One of my English professors who traveled the entire US last year told me that California is the dream of American and it is very different from the rest of the country.  Californians are very liberal and free minded.  
Well, what about other Americans, like New Yorkers.  The most comments about New Yorkers I have received is most of them are irascible.  They 
constantly beep when they drive and make a lot of noise in the city.  Sometimes, some people even roll down the windows yell at people walking across the street with waspish words, and pedestrians行人 take umbrage at the drivers.  I read an article about travel in New York.  It was a story about a waitress who yelled petulantly at some customers who were about to leave without leaving a tip.  In the US, tipping is very common in any restaurant.  People leave about 10 to 30 percent tips based on how well they are served.  If customers are not happy about the service or food, they have the right to not leave any tips.  Therefore, it behooves the server to be nice to the customer, so they can get a larger tip.
In contrast, Californians are more kind and peaceful, we let pedestrians have the right of way and rarely beep them unless there is some danger happening.  I can barely hear any beeping noise when I drive to school everyday.

(Help) I need to add these fives words in this short paragraph.
 "Bilious, Dudgeon, Pettish, Petulant, Pique"
