【5】E

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述为什么感恩会让你的生活更美好。

【1】F 根据下文提到thankfulness and appreciation are the pathway to happiness and well-being(感恩和欣赏是快乐和幸福的途径)，故F（感恩是对于生活的感激和对于现有生活的欣赏）引起下文。

【2】G 根据下文提到When you practice gratitude, you take time to appreciate the things that you’re thankful for in your life（当你实践感恩的时候，你会花费时间欣赏你在生活中感激的事物），故G项（感恩的人们对于生活更满意因为他们专注于欣赏的事物）引起下文。

【3】B 根据下文提到When you say “thank you” to someone, they feel that you appreciate what they did for you, even if just a little bit（当你对某人说感谢时，他们感觉你感激他们为你所做的，即使是小小的行为），故B项（你可以激励他人）引起和概括下一段。

【4】D 根据上文提到Have you ever noticed how it feels when someone doesn’t appreciate what you did for them?（当有人不感激你所做的，你注意到自己是什么样的感觉了吗？），故D项（这会让你在未来不再想帮他们）承接上文。

【5】E 根据上文提到They’re more in tune with what’s going well in their lives and focus more on the positive可知，提到的“积极的态度”与E项中的positive相吻合，故选E项。
