【2】 A

【3】 E

【4】 C

【5】 B

【解析】

本文主要介绍了态度好及态度不好，两种情况下人的说话语气，动作行为之间的不同，并建议大家都能以更加友好的语气和方式和别人沟通。

【1】根据前文The golden rule says that if you have nothing nice to say, you should not say anything.中的“the golden rule”可知这里说的是这条法则，故和选项D选项中的This rule…对应，故选D。

【2】根据前文Your attitude is great when you are happy. You smile.可知这里在说你态度好的时候会有什么行为，happy, smile以及后文的hold your head up，make eye contact都是让人感觉好的行为，故这和选项A是对应的，故选A。

【3】根据前文On the other hand, you might have a bad attitude when you are angry.当你生气的时候你可能态度不好，你会皱着眉头，和选项E中的You hang your head and step heavily.耷拉着头，迈着沉重的步子相对应，故选E。

【4】根据后文Then say the same sentence with grumbling in your voice.然后用发牢骚的语气说同样的句子，所以可以推测作者让你首先用微笑的语气说这个句子，故这和C选项First say it with a smile on your face.是对应的，故选C。

【5】根据后文What they are really saying is that you need to change how you are speaking.是对这一句话的解释，所以这里，父母说不要和我用那种语气说话，故选B。
