【解析】

这是一篇说明文。每天，我们在不同的地方工作。文章就如何保持良好的姿势给出了几点建议，通过简单的动作不挺直身体，减少肩部肌肉、颈部和腿部的紧张。

【1】

上一句提到“我们发现自己在家里的不同位置用笔记本电脑和平板电脑打字。”承接上文，E选项“为了帮助你无论在哪里工作都能保持良好的姿势，”切题。该选项中的“no matter where you're working”与上文中的各个工作地方相呼应。故选E项。

【2】

与下文中介绍的肩部运动，尤其是“roll your shoulders back”将肩膀向后转动相对应。A选项“Shoulder stretch”肩部伸展，切合题意。该选项中的Shoulder stretch和上文的“shoulder muscles”相呼应。故选A项。

【3】

该段标题建议我们要“颈部伸展”，G选项“将右耳垂向右肩，伸展左脖子。”和这个主题呼应，切题。且选项中的“neck”与上下文相呼应。故选G项。

【4】

该段标题建议我们要“拉伸单腿腿筋”，F选项“确保你的腿与椅子成直角，两脚分开到腿的长度。”和这个主题呼应，切题。且选项中的“legs”与上下文相呼应。故选F项。

【5】

由下文中的“because we're combining Pilates core work with yoga stretching and strengthening.” 因为我们将普拉提核心训练与瑜伽的伸展和强化结合在了一起。可知，C选项“这个练习也算是一种小型锻炼，”切题。故选C项。

七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第2小题中的“Shoulder”，第3小题中的“neck”，第4小题中的“legs”均与上下文有相呼应的词语。
