【解析】

试题分析：本文属于教育类短文。自信的人往往是成功的人，那么如何来培养自信呢？作者在文中给出四点建议。首先，要勇于面对并努力克服自己的缺点。其次，要穿着得体以获得自信。再次，要首先完成不愿意做但是不得不做的事情。最后要积极乐观。

【1】C考查上下文的推理判断能力。根据下句It is a habit that everyone can develop in life.判断C选项符合语境，能起到承上启下的作用。句意：实际上自信既不是天生的也不是一夜间就能获得的，它是一种在生活中能养成的习惯。

【2】D考查上下文的推理判断能力。本段用了几个祈使句来讲述要如何对待缺点，纵观选项只有B选项在句型结构和句意上符合语境，前句讲要勇敢面对缺点，然后要和可信赖的人，比如朋友，家人等谈论这些缺点。所以D选项正确。

【3】A考查上下文的归纳概括能力。本段讲述穿戴打扮能够给人增添信心，而A选项内容恰好与后句therefore pay attention to your dress构成因果关系，所以A选项正确。

【4】F考查上下文的推理判断能力。在本段作者建议打破被动处理事情的惯例，要马上集中精力去处理不愿意做但不得不做的事情，在所有选项中只有F项“不要把你不愿意做但不得不做的事情推到最后去做”能符合段意，所以正确选项是F。

【5】E考查上下文的推理判断能力。根据段中出现的Be positive.和you should speak positively about yourself, and your bright future.可知E选项恰好承接上文，讲乐观的态度能让自己朝着积极的方向成长。
