　　答案：

　　1.waiting　考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。根據下文“too long on such a hot day”可知，此處表示過去發(fā)生的動作一直持續(xù)到現在，故用現在完成進行時，且wait和“you”構成主動關系。故用waiting。

　　2.ago　考查副詞。根據上文“just got”可知，此處表示過去發(fā)生的動作，故用ago，表示“多久以前”，符合語境。

　　3.non­smoking　考查形容詞。根據上文“Do you know if smoking is allowed here?” “No.”可知，此處是禁煙區(qū)。故用形容詞non­smoking。

　　4.How　考查特殊疑問詞。根據下文“feel relaxed”可知，此處表示問感受如何。故用特殊疑問詞How。

　　5.makes　考查主謂一致。動名詞或動名詞短語作主語，謂語動詞用單數形式，且此處表示一個客觀的描述，故用一般現在時的單數形式，即makes。

　　6.bored　考查非謂語動詞。過去分詞作形容詞一般修飾人，表示性質，意為“感到……的”;現在分詞作形容詞，一般修飾物，表示“令人……的”。根據語境可知，此處修飾人“I”，故用過去分詞bored，作表語。

　　7.up　考查副詞。根據語境“but”可知，說話人雖然知道吸煙不好，但是從來沒有想過戒煙。且根據固定短語搭配：give up意為“放棄”，符合語境。故用副詞up。

　　8.who/that　考查定語從句。分析句子題干可知，此句是一個定語從句，所填詞在從句中作主語，修飾先行詞“people”，故用關系代詞who/that引導的定語從句，符合語境。

　　9.difference　考查名詞。冠詞修飾名詞。故此處用different的名詞形式difference。

　　10.late　考查形容詞。根據語境可知，此處表示十年后再意識到吸煙的危害性就為時已晚。故用形容詞late。
