本文是一篇说明文，面对现实很重要，如果我们想要面对现实，必须要对自己和周围的世界有清楚地了解。文章给出了五条帮助我们面对现实的有效建议。

【1】横线前一句告诉我们要了解自己和周围的世界，要知道自己能够做的事情，也就是说要了解自己的强项。故G项“You must be able to see exactly what you are capable of.”符合上下文语境。

【2】横线后一句告诉我们要努力尝试新鲜事物，如果发现当我们努力以后仍然无法做到，要接受失败并面对现实。也就是说我们要知道自己能做的和不能做的。故F项符合上下文语境。

【3】根据横线前两句列举的事例可知我们不是什么都可以做到的，人人都有局限性。与横线后一句“有人不接受它，但它就在那里”完全一致。故A项符合上下文语境。
