Mary：How much do you smoke a day?
John：I smoke about twenty cigarettes a day.
Mary：Well, that's too many. I think you should quit. You know it's bad for your health.
John：I've always known it is bad, but I have never thought about giving it __7__. And the people __8__ work with me smoke, too.
Mary：You'd better start thinking about it now. You might not feel the __9__(different) now, but after 10 years of smoking, you might feel it, and then it would be too __10__.
John：That's a good point. I'll try to quit at once, but I think I'll need your help.

John：Thanks.
答案：
1.waiting 考查动词的时态和语态。根据下文“too long on such a hot day”可知，此处表示过去发生的动作一直持续到现在，故用现在完成进行时，且wait和“you”构成主动关系。故用waiting。
2.ago 考查副词。根据上文“just got”可知，此处表示过去发生的动作，故用ago，表示“多久以前”，符合语境。
3.nonsmoking 考查形容词。根据上文“Do you know if smoking is allowed here?” “No.”可知，此处是禁烟区。故用形容词nonsmoking。
4.How 考查特殊疑问词。根据下文“feel relaxed”可知，此处表示问感受如何。故用特殊疑问词How。
5.makes 考查主谓一致。动名词或动名词短语作主语，谓语动词用单数形式，且此处表示一个客观的描述，故用一般现在时的单数形式，即makes。
6.bored 考查非谓语动词。过去分词作形容词一般修饰人，表示性质，意为“感到……的”;现在分词作形容词，一般修饰物，表示“令人……的”。根据语境可知，此处修饰人“I”，故用过去分词bored，作表语。
7.up 考查副词。根据语境“but”可知，说话人虽然知道吸烟不好，但是从来没有想过戒烟。且根据固定短语搭配：give up意为“放弃”，符合语境。故用副词up。
8.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子题干可知，此句是一个定语从句，所填词在从句中作主语，修饰先行词“people”，故用关系代词who/that引导的定语从句，符合语境。
9.difference 考查名词。冠词修饰名词。故此处用different的名词形式difference。
10.late 考查形容词。根据语境可知，此处表示十年后再意识到吸烟的危害性就为时已晚。故用形容词late。
