【解析】

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了提高自信的一些方法。

【1】根据空前的"...Wouldn’t it be amazing to have this kind of self-confidence? Guess what? You can"及下文罗列的内容可知,此处需填一个起承上启下的作用的句子,故F项"这是你可以学会对你所做的所 有事情感到自信的方法"符合语境。

【2】根据小标题"Stay away from negativity"以及G项中的"friends and family"与空后句子中的"those individuals..."的对应关系可知,G项符合语境。

【3】根据小标题"Be positive"及空后的"Instead, begin to focus on solutions and making positive changes"可知,空处所填内容与其后面的内容之间存在转折关系,故D项"不要再关注你生活中的问题"符合语境。

【4】根据空前的"Never give up. Never accept failure and get rid of the negative voices in your head. There is a solution to everything"可知,空处所填内容与上文存在因果关系,故E项"因此,你为什么想要放弃努力 呢?"符合语境。

【5】根据最后一段中的内容尤其是"If you are prepared, and have the knowledge to back it up..."可知, 本段介绍的提高自信的方法是要做好准备,故A项符合语境。
