解析:

本文讲述的是该怎样做才能成为对世界有影响之人。

21、联系上文，他想成为对世界有影响的人（make a different），却有如此多的事业(causes)。他不知道该怎样投入才能对世界有最大的影响，故选C。

22、 根据下文，不同的人都有不同的起点，是故没有一个“合适”的起点。

23、starting place 意为起点。

24、give这里用作不及物动词，意为“给予”。

25、identify sth as …确认﹑鉴别出某事物是… 。

26、此句意为“我们的力量之地是我们最有热情而行动的地方，我们最有信心的地方”。

27、that 引导的同位语从句修饰faith, 是指有可能产生结果的信心.

28、prayer这里意为“祈祷，祷告”。其它选项与句意不符。

29、根据本句：“如果我们对世界和平的祷告毫无帮助的话，如果我们祈祷自己家庭和谐，影响会大很多”。

30、make an effort 意为“努力”；make it 意为“成功”；make a difference 意为“有影响,起(重要)作用”； make ends meet 意为“使收支相抵”。本句意为没有能起重要作用的信心，我们的帮助力量就会减少。
