阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。
It seems recently that more and more of my friends are facing some seemingly unbeatable challenges in their lives. Some have lost their jobs and some have 【小题1】 (fail) marriages. All too many have health problems.
I don’t know if it is desperation 【小题2】 causes them to turn to me for advice or whether they have e to value our friendship. But 【小题3】 is difficult to offer words of hope when all they feel is hopeless. They expect answers to get them back 【小题4】 their feet again.
I have often struggled with what to say, 【小题5】 (most) because I have faced many of the same challenges in my own life. I remember how empty I felt after someone cheerfully offered words like “Things will get better!”
Now , being thought of 【小题6】 a source of hope or a good example of what to do through printed words, I have even 【小题7】 (many) people contacting me.
So what do I say? “Begin again.”
It sounds too simple, 【小题8】 it is indeed the answer. All life 【小题9】 (challenge) bring about an ending and the chance for 【小题10】 (begin).failed

(答案→)failed
解析：
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。
