【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，告诉我们大笑对健康很有好处，同时文章中还给出了一些让我们更快乐有更多笑声的三个建议。

【1】E 根据前一句A good laugh is like a mild workout. It exercises the muscles, gets the blood flowing, decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system.说明大笑对我们有很好的作用，那么在生活中我们应该更多大笑。另外从下文三个黑体字部分可知这些都是让我们有更多笑声的方法。所以E项“The following are some ways to enjoy more laughter and joy in your life”属于上下文的过渡句。

【2】B 根据前句We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes.在生活中我们都会遇见障碍也都会犯错。犯错是生活中很正常的一件事情，所以我们不要因此而责备自己。故B项“There is no reason to blame yourself for it.”符合上下文串联。

【3】C 本段的标题是Find the humor in a bad situation.在糟糕的情景中找到幽默的一面。告诉我们当我们遇见困难时，要学会从中找到有趣的一面，让自己开心快乐。再根据横线前一句Sure , there are some situations where you are really sad当然，有一些我们真的很难受的情况。那么我们要从这些令人难受的情景中找到有趣的东西。故C项符合上下文。

【4】G 本段的标题为Remind yourself of funny moments from the past.让自己想起过去那些的有趣的时刻，因为那些时刻对我们的情绪有很好的影响。所以我们要经常想起这些时刻，尤其是在我们悲伤难过的时候。选项中只有G项内容与本段中心思想一致。

【5】D 根据横线后两句As the saying goes, laughter is contagious(会传染的）. So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humor in life’s situations.可知笑是会传染的，要让我们周围都是一些快乐的人，让自己快乐的人来感染我们。让我们一起快乐起来。所以D项“Surround yourself with fun people who like to laugh a lot.”与本段中心思想一致。
