【解析】纵观全文，第一段由生活在一个消极的环境中对我们的全面小康是有害的的引出几种常见的消极情绪，后用小标题的方式对不同情绪提出不同的解决方案。本题较简单。

【1】要求考生理解篇章结构。上文提到the most common negative thoughts最常见的几种消极情绪，然后后文的每个小标题写得是如何消除这些情绪，根据下文Even if you find yourself lacking in something,there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.即使你发现自己在某方面有所欠缺，也不需要每天重复提醒自己。可知此处应选A项，我不够好。

【2】考查考生上下文逻辑思维能力。本段小标题是没有人关心我，后文中提到To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation.准确地说，你的家人和朋友不关心你是很罕见的情形。故该句为否定标题中的消极情绪。后文提出应如何对应这种情绪，show you back是该空答案的重要提示，E项中有react刚好与show you back对应，意为关心是相互的，故选E项。

【3】联系上文focusing on his bad qualities is not going to make things better.只关注他的坏的品质不会使事情好转，下文中Focus on his good qualities关注好的品质，既然要关注好的品质就要和这个人接触，关注好的品质就是以一种积极的态度去接近这个人，故选F。

【4】该段小标题为什么他有钱，better off是理解重点，该段讲得是不要有攀比心理。故第一句话为点题，故选D项，总是拿自己与别人对比从来都不是积极的态度。此可能有部分考生会误选C项，C项是对小标题中的消极情绪的解释，而联系本文，都是写出一个小标题然后对该标题的消极情绪提出如何应对的方法，故C不对。

【5】联系上文Remember,there are people who are also worse off than you记住也是有人比你过得更差，所以要对你所拥有的一切抱有感激之情。故选B项。
