【3】G

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】本文主要告诉我们了如何建立良好的伙伴关系，即如何处理与他人的关系。

【1】根据本段小标题Be an honest person with them.可知，本段讲的是对他人要诚实；且上一句提到trust信任，即对别人诚实别人才能信任你，也才能向你敞开心扉，与选项E相对应。

【2】本句与上一句Now, respect isn’t just simply treating them nicely.衔接紧密， “现在尊敬他人不仅是要对他人友好，还有更多要做的”。

【3】本段提到要能够帮助到伙伴，要起到积极鼓励的作用，因此此处要表达的是“当需要的时候，你的伙伴应该能指望上你”，且下一句进一步解释了本句，下一句中的count on对本句也是一个提示。

【4】本段讲的是要有幽默感，且多次提到“laughter”，句意：大笑能让关系牢固持久。

【5】本段讲的是要交流，因此选项中的talk对应本段主题，从句意上看也通顺：和他们谈，而不是大喊大叫。如果他们做了让你不开心的事情，要礼貌地跟他们说。
