【答案】

【4】A

【5】G

【解析】文章介绍几个交朋友的技巧。

【1】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前句意：当你想结识新朋友时，要乐于接受新的体验。空后句意：这里有一些新的体验，希望你会感兴趣。可知这里用F Not everything you try will be successful but you can always learn from the experience.（并不是你尝试的每件事都会成功，但是你可以从体验中学习。）符合上下文语境，故选F。

【2】联系上文题。根据前面一句的意思“志愿服务是帮助别人和结识新朋友的好方法。” 可知这里用D. Volunteering also gives you the chance to practice and develop your social skills（志愿服务也能给你机会来练习以及提高你的社会技能。）合适，故选D。

【3】考查对上下文语境的理解。本段的建议是“参加一个班级或加入一个俱乐部”。空后句意：在那些地方，你可以见到有共同兴趣的人。可知这里用C. Take a class or join a club such as a book group, dinner club, or sports team（参加一个班级或加入一个俱乐部比如书友会，晚餐俱乐部或者运动队）合适，故选C。

【4】联系下文题。本题是选出一个主题句。根据空后的句子“狗的主人经常会停下来聊天，而他们的狗互相玩耍。”可知这里用A. Walk a dog（遛狗。）合适，故选A。

【5】联系下上题。本段的建议是“拔掉插头”。空前句意：如果你对手机比对周围的人更感兴趣，那么你很难结识新朋友。故这里用G. So remove your headphones and put your smartphone away while you’re waiting for a bus（所以，在你等车时，把耳机移开把手机收起来。）合适。故选G。
