【解析】

本文为说明文。为他人做好事时，自己会感到更快乐，受惠者和做好事的人也能得到好处。文中介绍了一些让他人和你一样快乐的方法。

1.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上文“Studies show that people feel happier when they do something kind for another person, and b机h recipients and good deed-doers can get the benefits. It can't be smarter idea to create this World Kindness Day.” 研究表明，当人们为他人做一些好事时，他们会感到更快乐，而受惠者和做好事的人也能得到好处。创造这个世界慈善日是再聪明不过的主意了。再结合下文的几个小标题的内容（下文主要提供了一些方式让别人也快乐）。可推断出空格处是指用一些方式让他人也像你一样快乐。分析选项可知C项Open your heart with some small, free ways to make someone's day（你敞开心扉，用一些小方式来也让他们感觉开心）符合题意，故选C。

2.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。空格处是小标题。根据标题后的内容可知，空格“与朋友分开很久之后，如果你遇到麻烦，可用一条短信、一张便条或一个电话就会重新取得联系”。空格后“因为研究表明牢固的关系也。能提高人的身体健康”。由此可推断出，如果你与朋友或家人失去联系，也要重新取得联系。分析选项可知F项Reconnect with a friend or family member（与朋友或家人重新联系）符合题意，故选F。

3.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的小标题为“Genuinely compliment someone” 真诚地赞美某人。结合空前的“A respectful comment that comes from the heart...might be all it takes to improve someone's mood.”发自内心的赞美之词可以提高人情绪。同样地其他人的积极的话也可以让一些人对自己好一点。分析选项可知A项Others' positive words could help some people be a bit kinder to themselves, too.（其他人的积极的话语也可以帮助一些人对自己更好一点）符合题意，故选A。

4.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的小标题为“捡起你周围的垃圾”。根据上一句“Picking up trash and recyclables off the street beautifies your community and benefits the environment”及下句“ The environment can't clean itself, after all!” 可知，捡起街道上的垃圾和可回收物品可以美化你的社区，也有益于环境。因为毕竟环境不能自我清洁。所以大家要一起承担清洁周围的环境，美化环境的任务。分析选项可知 E项 It might even inspire others to take up the task with you（它甚至可能激励其他人和你一起承担这项任务）符合题意，故选E。

5.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的小标题为“Thank the people in your life”感谢你生命中的人。根据上句“They are the security guard outside of your workplace, the supermarket worker you see every day, your mom.”他们是你工作场所外的保安，是你每天都能见到的超市员工，是你的妈妈。由此可知，生命中的人保障你正常工作。如果没有他们的帮助，你的世界可能不会像现在这样的高效运转。分析选项可知D项Without their help, your world might not rim as efficiently（如果没有他们的帮助，你的世界可能不会像现在这样高效运转），故选D。
