【1】F

【2】A

【3】E

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】本文教你如何改变人们对你的坏印象。

【1】F

根据下句：然而，你可以采取一些行动来改变人们对你的坏印象。由此可知上句的意思是：很难从一个人的脑海中抹去一个糟糕的第一印象。故选F。

【2】A

根据下文：否则，你不停地提起过去，它会使别人感到不舒服。可知，小心不要做的过火。故选A。

【3】E

根据上句：记住只把幽默指向自己。可知，这样你就可以避免任何不舒服的感觉。故选E。

【4】D

根据上句：你制造了一个坏影响之后，可以很容易地认为每个人都认为你是最坏的。再根据空格下句：不要假设别人对你的看法，向她解释你对自己的行为感到羞耻并且问问他你的行为如何影响了他。可知此空的意思是：然而，事情并不像看上去那么糟糕。故选D。

【5】B

此空是一个小标题，应该用祈使句，所以只能在A/B/G中选，A项已被选走，排除。再根据空格下句：为了克服坏的第一印象，你今后的言语和行动必须始终如一。由此可知，要重视未来的言谈举止。故选B。

在七选五时一定要注意and/but/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/in addition/what’s more等词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文，起着承上起下的作用。像but（但是）、however（然而），表示转折，这说明前后的内容相反或相对。把握住这一点，做起题来就会得心应手。本题第1小题，___1___However,there are actions you can take to change people's bad impression of you. 根据下句：然而，你可以采取一些行动来改变人们对你的坏印象。由此可知上句的意思是：很难从一个人的脑海中抹去一个糟糕的第一印象。故选F。
