【解析】

这是一篇说明文。为他人做好事时，自己会感到更快乐，受惠者和做好事的人也能得到好处。文中介绍了一些让他人和你一样快乐的方法。

【1】

根据上文研究表明，当人们为他人做一些好事时，他们会感到更快乐，而受惠者和做好事的人也能得到好处。再结合下文提供的一些让别人也快乐的方式。可推断出空格处是指用一些方式让他人也像你一样快乐。分析选项可知，C项“你敞开心扉，用一些小方式来也让他们感觉开心”，符合语境。故选C项。

【2】

根据该段内容，和人们恢复联系很简单，以及亲密的关系对健康有益，尤其是后句“Let someone know you're thinking of them, even after some time apart.”即使分开一段时间，也要让对方知道你在想念他。可知小标题的应与重新联系紧密相关。可以推断，F项“与朋友或家人重新联系”，符合语境。故选F项。

【3】

本段的小标题为“真诚地赞美某人”。文章接着说明了称赞别人的好处，可以改变人的情绪，A项“其他人的积极的话语也可以帮助一些人对自己更好一点”，是称赞别人的另一个好处，符合语境。且句中“positive words”与文章小标题“compliment”相对应，故选A项。

【4】

本段的小标题为“捡起你周围的垃圾”。根据上一句“捡起街道上的垃圾和可回收物品可以美化你的社区，也有益于环境。”以及下句“ 毕竟环境不能自我清洁”，可以推测，此空应为大家要一起承担清洁周围的环境，美化环境的任务。E项“它甚至可能激励其他人和你一起承担这项任务”符合语境，故选E项。

【5】

本段的小标题为“感谢你生命中的人”。根据上句“他们是你工作场所外的保安，是你每天都能见到的超市员工，是你的妈妈。”可知，他们是保障你正常工作的人。可以推断，D项“如果没有他们的帮助，你的世界可能不会像现在这样高效运转”，符合语境。且句中“their help”与前文的人员相对应。故选D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3小题中的“positive words”，第5小题中的“their help”均与上下文有相呼应的词语。
