【解析】这是一篇说明文，介绍生活的“改变”会给我们带来很多好处，文章列出了三个益处：变化能够给我们提供很多机会，变化能够使生活充满乐趣。变化使人进步。作者认为我们应该正视生活中的改变，好好利用其积极的一面。

【1】Luckily, change is important in our lives.空白处上一句“So we cannot avoid change in life”，因此我们不能避免生活中的各种改变，而下一句“ Here are some of the benefits of change”，此处明显是转折，A选项“Luckily”而幸运的是，表转折。意为虽然生活中的变化无处不在，但是幸运的是变化在我们的生活中很重要，它会给我们的生活带来很多好处。故选A。

【2】You may reject these opportunities, whenever they come .第二段介绍变化给我们带来的好处之一是它能给我们的生活提供很多新的机会，空白出下一句“However, it is always advisable to consider the benefits that those new opportunities will bring.”However，然而，表转折；明智的做法是....所以空白处应该是与其相对的“拒绝机会”的做法。故选D。

【3】Change is one thing that makes our lives interesting.需要填写第三段的主题句，也就是生活中的“变化”能带来的另一个好处。根据下一句“If you are used to doing the same thing over and over again, you may get bored, and lose the interest in your life”如果重复做一件事，你会厌倦无聊，失去兴趣。所以生活中的改变带来的好处之一是让我们的生活有趣，而不感到无聊。故选C。

【4】Technologies, trends, and politics keep on changing.空白处下一句“These make life exciting.”这些让生活充满激情，这里的“These”指代的就是空白处应该填的内容，结合上句讨论的“Remember that the world is always in a continuous motion”，“要知道世界总在变化”，空白处举例哪些变化，包括科技、潮流、政治等都处于变化。故选B。

【5】There are many things that have happened in your life, which helped you grow.第四段谈论的是“改变意味着进步”空白处下一句“This is called progress. And these growth experiences are the reason why you should appreciate changes in your life.”这叫做进步，这些成长的经历是你应该赞赏你生活中的改变的原因。生活中的改变帮助你成长，故选G。
