The 42 I learned from this is simple—faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all 43 given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith. Faith keeps us going when things get 44 ! Why is some people’s faith stronger than that of others? Exercise! If we choose to exercise our faith, it will 45 ; but if we choose not to, it remains weak. Some people might 46 that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t 47 it as a faith. Daily 48 , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.

6.考查名词及上下文的呼应。friendship友谊; breath呼吸; wealth财富; success成功。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,我们就要有信仰。have breath表示“活着”。故选B。
