【解析】

这里有五段短文，右边有七个选项，我们应根据短文内容选择正确的选项。这几段文章涉及多个方面，如资源浪费、石油缺乏以及人们花费太多时间看电视等问题。

1.根据people leave lights on when no one is in the room.可知，这里谈论的是人们离开房间的时候让灯一直亮着；F选项中提到了Turn off lights before leaving离开之前关灯，符合这里的意思，故选F。

2.根据这一段的内容可知，这里谈论的是夏天如何正确使用空调的问题，E选项和该段都有关键词air conditioner，且E选项的最后提到Also, set the air conditioner at 26 degrees.空调的温度设置在26度，与空后的内容一致，故应选E。

3.根据段意可知，这里谈论的是节约用水的问题，G选项中Don't flush (冲洗) the toilet unnecessarily.“不要没有必要地冲洗厕所”，与空后的句子A lot of water is wasted by using too much“浪费了很多水”意思是一致的，故应选G。

4.根据这一段中because more people buy cars可知，这里谈论的是更多的人购买汽车，B选项中提到了We should walk to work, ride a bike to school, and take a bus home more often instead of driving cars.“我们应该走路去上班、骑自行车上学，乘坐公交车回家而不是开车”，因此他们表达的意思是一致的，故应选B。

5.根据这一段中People, especially children, watch TV for too many hours可知，这里谈论的问题是：人们，尤其是孩子看电视的时间太长。C选项的内容是针对这个问题的解决办法，意为：鼓励人们在空闲时间多做室外活动，让孩子们多从读书中学习。故应选C。
