【解析】

试题分析：自信的人最美丽，作者在文章中给出了五条让人保持自信的建议，并对这些建议进行了详细分析。

【1】B 根据横线前句Consider your strengths and success.可知我们要考虑自己的优点和缺点，也就是让我们对自己要有清楚地了解。为了让自己更明确，可以把这些优点和缺点写下来。故B项符合上下文。

【2】E 本段的中心思想是“Have goals.”要有目标，有了目标我们才有动力，如果没有目标我，我们就会失去努力的源泉。故E项符合上下文串联。

【3】G 根据横线后两句Failure is the mother of success. When you fail, view it as a learning experience.可知作者认为我们应该把失败当成一次学习的经历。也就是说要从失败中学习到教训。故G项符合本段中心思想。

【4】A 根据横线前句“Study their action, their manners of speaking and how they communicate with others.”可知我们要模仿偶像，但我们不能总是模仿他们，我们也要有自己的特点。A项符合上下文串联。

【5】D 最后一段建议我们要多笑。因为有信心的人才会微笑。所以D项“Smiling is a friendly and open gesture.”符合本段中心思想。
