【解析】最近一份报告显示人们平均每天会看150次手机。然而，沉迷于手机会带来许多危险。数据表明28%的交通事故和人们使用手机有关。本文呼吁人们理性使用手机，将更多的注意力放在周围的人和自己的生活中。

【1】根据后文中They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger可知，使用手机可能会使得自己或者爱的人处于危险中。这里可以总结两个关键词，也就是cell phones和danger。D选项中的关键词cell phones和safety符合语境，故选D。

【2】根据前文They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger.可知，使用手机会使得人们处于危险中。后文At least 200,000 car accidents were caused by texting messages.说发短信造成了至少200,000例汽车事故。G选项Statistics show 28 percent of car accidents occur from people using cell phones.（数据表明28%的汽车事故和人们使用手机有关）符合语境，起到了衔接前文、启示后文的作用。故选G。

【3】根据后文A survey done by the Pew Institute suggested that Americans in the age range of 18 to 29 years old send 88 text messages a day.可知，调查显示18到29岁的年轻人一天要发88条短信，说明年轻人对手机的依赖非常严重。B选项Human beings are glued to their cell phones.（人们被粘在手机上）也表明人们对手机的依赖，符合语境。故选B。

【4】根据前文Those emotions are within us, and by blocking these feelings with all of our latest technologies, we may be harming ourselves.可知，人们用手机阻挡了快乐、积极的情感，那样会伤害自己。F选项中的depressions and anxiety和前文中的emotions相呼应，故选F。

【5】根据前文I think we can live a happier life if we pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with.可知，作者呼吁人们把更多的注意力放在周围的人身上，放在和我们说话的人身上，这样我们才能拥有更幸福的生活。E选项 How many relationships are lost because of a lack of communication?（有多少人际关系因为缺少交流而淡漠了呢？）a lack of communication正和前文作者的呼吁“pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with”相对应。故选E。
