试题分析: 如今，似乎越来越多的人们在生活中面临着不可战胜的挑战。有些人失业，有些人婚姻失败，还有很多人都存在着健康问题。不管他们出于什么原因来求助于我，当他们无望的时候，我只是说“一切重新开始“，这简单的语言其实是最真实的答案。
小题1:failed 。根据语境判断此处缺少marriages的定语，failed形容词“失败的”，故答案填failed。句意：有些人婚姻失败。              
小题2:that 。从结构判断此处是 强调句式it is ......that......，判断方法是去掉it is ......that......后句子成立， 所以填that。
小题3:it 。此处是固定句型it is adj +to do 结构，it是形式主语，真正的主语为to offer words of hope)，所以填it。
小题4:on。 固定短语：on one’s feet站立，引申为“跌倒后再爬起来”。
小题5:mostly。此处是修饰句子，所以用副词，mostly意思是“主要是”，相当于mainly。          
小题6:as 。固定短语think of sb as ......,“认为某人是.....”，所以填as。
小题7:more 。前面的even表“更加”，用来修饰比较级，many的比较级是more。
小题8:but。根据句意可知前后句子内容之间是转折关系，所以填but。
小题9:challenges。根据后面的谓语动词bring可以判断做主语的名词应该用复数形式，填challenges。
小题10:beginning。介词for后面跟名词或动名词，故答案填beginning。
