【解析】

本文主要讲述了作者知道了待用咖啡是有爱心的人提前给不能偿付咖啡的人预定的咖啡。

1.

句意：当我们正在等的时候，2个年轻人进来开始订购。

根据句意指当我们正在等的时候，主句是一般过去时，while当……时，后跟过去进行时；主语我们是复数，故be动词用were。故答案填were waiting。

2.

句意：2杯是给我们，3杯是待用的。

根据句意表示2杯是给我们，介词for给。故答案填for。

3.

句意：没有给我答案，他告诉我等等看看。

介词of后跟上动词ing形式，故动词用ing形式。故答案填giving。

4.

句意：他和蔼的要了一杯待用咖啡，然后坐在那里喝。

和and连接的动词形式一致，ordered是过去式，故sit也要用过去式。故答案填sat。

5.

句意：它很简单——人们预先为买不起咖啡的人购买的。

根据句意表示买不起，故动词前加can能，can't afford买不起。故答案填can't afford。
