【5】 The more you think about yourself, the more likely it is for you to have a pity party and feel lonely. For example, you might think that nobody likes you or cares about you.

考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据下一句“If you constantly think of yourself as ugly, mean, or unattractive, then it will be difficult for you to connect with others.”可知是说你的消极的想法对你有不好的影响，分析选项可知C项（消极的思想会杀死你。）与此相符，故选C项。

【3】E

考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。空后的内容是说，如果你心存感激，就会快乐，你就很有吸引力。分析选项可知E项（And that will attract people to you）符合题意。

【5】B

考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段是说别只想着自己，否则的话你会孤单的。要注意别人，你只是对你的邻居微笑或为一个陌生人开门。由此可知，要为别人做点力所能及的小事。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B项。
