【解析】由题目可知，此题主要是对“如何交朋友”给出的建议。文章首先说明交朋友可能是件困难和需要勇气的事情，然后分别给出了四条建议：主动开始一段谈话；选择志趣相投的朋友；让友谊自然发展；享受友情。

【1】此题根据横线前后句意选出。前面句意是“好的友谊有很多优点”，后面句意是“但是对我们中的很多人来说，这是困难的并且需要勇气。”据此可判断，只有选D“对有些人来说，交朋友是容易的”时，句意通顺。

【2】横线后面句意是“你总是可以开始一段对话”。根据段意可知，此段是说要主动与他人交谈，因此横线处应填C：不要等着别人主动和你说话，这样使上下文通顺。

【3】此处是选择段落小标题。段意是：应该选择有共同兴趣爱好的朋友，你们会一起做这些大家都感兴趣的事。由此可知，应选择B“一起做事”，最能归纳段意。

【4】根据段落标题和前面句子可知，此段讲的是“不要过于频繁地与新朋友联系，可以让友谊自然地发展”。而F意为“最好的友谊是自然发展起来的”，正好符合段意，因此选F。

【5】根据段落标题和前面句子可知，此段讲的是“享受友谊的好办法是让你的朋友们做他们自己，不要改变他们”，G的意思是“按照你理想中朋友的样子做自己的朋友”，填入后使上下文通顺。
