解析：

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个感人的爱情故事：在“我”给一位八十多岁的老人看病过程中得知老人在妻子生病住院期间，尽管妻子已经有五年都不认识他了，但是这位老人仍然坚持每天早上来医院和妻子一起吃早饭。通过这件事让“我”知道真正的爱就是接受所有的一切。

小题1:本题考查名词。结合后面的：“waiting room”可知护士是让老人在候诊区坐下等等而不是让老人休息（rest/break）或吸口气（breath）。

小题2:本题考查动词。现在分词作伴随状语：护士让老人坐下等候的同时告诉他轮到他看病至少得有40分钟。

小题3:本题考查连词。it would be +一段时间+before...为固定句型，意为“将要过多久才……”。

小题4:本题考查动词。根据第一段第二句话这个老人对护士所说的话可知，因为老人很匆忙要赶上9：30的约会，所以老人在等待过程中不停地看手表。

小题5:本题考查副词。根据my patient didn’t 21_ at the appointed hour可知“我”当时不忙，故选 D。

小题6:本题考查动词短语。turn up意为“到达，出现，露面”；B意为“炫耀”；C意为“加油”；D意为“走开，离开”。根据“我”不忙可知“我”的病人没有在约定的时间到达。

小题7:本题考查动词。根据上文第一段for an appointment可知老人在老伴生病期间需要去护理房……。

小题8:本题考查名词。根据下文she 和true love 可知是老人的妻子。

小题9:本题考查副词。根据she had a special disease可知老人的妻子在nursing room，上文已提到，故为了避免重复用there代替。

小题10:本题考查形容词。如果老人约会去迟了，老人的妻子会不会为他而担心，这是人之常情。故选B。

小题11:本题考查副词。由she had not been able to  47__   him for five years now 可知她已经不再知道他是谁。

小题12:本题考查动词。由下文even though she doesn’t know who you are可知老人的妻子已经有五年都不认识他了。A意为“认出，识别”；B意为“回答”；C意为“相信”；D意为“希望，期望”。

小题13:本题考查形容词。当听到老人的话，“我”感到很惊讶。C符合语境。

小题14:本题考查副词。由上文可知老人明知道他妻子已经认不出他来了，但他却和她约会共进早餐，说明老人仍然坚持每天都去。

小题15:本题考查名词。“我”被老人的话所感动，所以“抑制住”自己的眼泪。

小题16:本题考查动词。通过这件事使“我”意识到什么是真正的爱。

小题17:本题考查名词。真正的爱就是对于所有一切的接受。本题点明了文章的主旨，老人不管妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃，所以是接受了一切，无论好坏。

小题18:本题考查副词。真正的爱就是对于所有一切的接受。本题点明了文章的主旨，老人不管妻子患病与否都始终不离不弃，所以是接受了一切，无论好坏。

小题19:本题考查动词。make the best of 固定短语，意为“充分利用”。最幸福的人不一定非得拥有一切美好的东西，最幸福的人是那些充分利用把握他们所拥有的人。

小题20:本题考查名词。由上文老人的故事可知生命不在于如何度过风暴，而是如何在风暴中快乐坚强地品味生活，这才是生活的真谛。
