【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲交流的重要性。

【1】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。仔细读完首段，尤其是段末There are a number of reasons that communication is so important to us. Here are a few:再看有3个黑体小标题，本文属于典型的并列结构或平行结构。因此，很容易判断出36题 应是并列的黑体小标题，而且多是祈使句。初步找出A和B。根据第3段内容讲医学领域医生与患者的交流可排除A，故选B。

【2】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据第三段内容可知，医学领域中的另一个例子是沟通的重要性。当医生告诉病人他的诊断给出了护理和医学指导，使患者了解医生到底怎么想交流是很重要的。故选C。

【3】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段中的We get to know each other和People like people they know.可知know的重要性，故选D。

【4】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。当你注意到本段中的when a friend listens and shows that he or she cares.可知有人倾听你谈论或倾诉自己的烦恼也是重要的。故选F。

【5】E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。文章结构总-分-总，分为6部分。开头（第1段），中间4部分（段2-3,4,5,6），结尾（第7段）末段又回归The importance of communication skills，已经不再是上段Increase confidence的延伸，故选E。
