【要点综述】本文讲述了电视剧中一位年轻人家中的每一面镜子上都贴着
“faith”这个词，这个情节引发了作者的深思。
1．C 根据上文可知，此处表示“一个年轻人正在社区里为自己拉票，人们主要想知道他有什么理由可以让他们支持他”。
2．A 根据上文“…seeking his community votes…”可知，人们想知道为什么要给予他支持。
3．B 根据下文提到的the word was pasted on his mirrors可知答案。
4．B 根据下文why the word was pasted on his mirrors可知，此处表示人们提出问题(raise questions)想了解实情。
5．A 本句表示父亲教他人生的道理(teach sb to do sth)。
6．B 根据上下文可知，把faith这个词贴在镜子上是为了每一次照镜子时都能看到它，这说明父亲让他相信信念非常重要，只要活着，就要有信念。have breath表示“活着”。
7．A 破折号后的内容是作者从这一电视剧情节中获得的lesson(经验，教训)。
8．C 根据下文24 hours a day判断，我们每个人的一天同样(equally)都是24小时。
9．D 根据常识可知，当事情变得艰难时(get tough)，更能显出信念的作用。
10．D 本句对比了两种情况：选择经受磨炼，信念就会增强(grow)；选择逃避磨炼，信念就会仍然保持薄弱状态。
11．A 作者认为有些人可能会有不同意见，他们也许会争辩(argue)说，他们没有信念。 12．D 联系上文可知，作者对这些人的驳斥是：我们每天都在践行它，即使我们不承认(acknowledge)那就是信念。
13．C 此空后列举的内容都是我们的日常活动，故用task。
14．B 此空表示信念来自于(come from)你所听和所做的事。
15．C 根据空后内容可知，看了那些报纸后，作者总会情绪低落。因此，要树立信念，作者应该是决定以后不再(stop)看那些有负面信息的报纸了。
16．D 联系上下文可知，此处所需词汇应与sad同义，表示“悲伤和负面的消息”。
17．B 读了那样的内容，作者应该“注意到”了自己情绪的低落。
18．C 当践行信念时，它会变成美好的东西。put…to work表示“践行，使起作用”。
19．B 联系前文可知，信念能把你的精神状态提升到更高的高度，促使你提升自我，并宣称：“是的，我能。”
20．A 根据第二段“If we choose to exercise our faith，it will…”可知此处应选A。
