【解析】

这是一篇说明文。作者就如何影响别人对你的看法，提出了几点合理的建议。

【1】由“As is known to everyone, we all care about what others think of us and want to be liked”众所周知，我们都关心别人对我们的看法，希望别人喜欢我们。可知，小题1要说明别人喜欢你的基本原则。故G选项切题。

【2】由“Did your co-worker talk about working with his son on a science fair project last week? Follow up and ask how it went. ”你的同事上周有没有谈到和他的儿子一起参与一个科学博览会项目？跟进并询问进展如何。可知，小题2要对这样的事情的性质进行总结，来说明它是件小事。故C选项切题。

【3】由“For example, if someone makes an error, don’t call that person out in front of a group.”例如，如果有人犯了错误，不要在一群人面前叫那个人出来。可知，本句在说明明智批评人的方法，所以小题3也应该说明明智批评人的方法。故F选项切题。

【4】由“When you make someone feel better about himself or herself, that person will most certainly end up liking you for it.”当你让某人对自己感觉更好时，这个人最终肯定会喜欢上你。可知，小题4起到承接下文的作用。故B选项切题。

【5】由“Most people love to talk about themselves. If you are asking questions and getting people to talk about themselves, they ’ll leave the conversation thinking that you're the coolest.”大多数人喜欢谈论自己。如果你问问题，让人们谈论自己，他们会认为你是最酷的。可知，根据内容以及小题5的位置，标题为“问问别人他们的生活和兴趣”。故D选项切题。
