【解析】

这是一篇议论文。礼貌是良好礼仪的表现，但是随着生活节奏的加快人们对礼貌似乎有所忘却，也能够容忍不礼貌的行为。礼貌用语虽小，但能够在很多方面影响我们的生活。

【1】该空上句提到，礼仪试图建立积极的人际关系。F项（礼仪的目的是尊重一个人被爱和被理解的需要）与上句承接自然，且两句在句式结构上相同。故选F项。

【2】该空下句提到，人们甚至不愿意花时间观察周围事物。B项（人们变得更加以自我为中心，更加自恋）与下句联系紧密，不愿花时间看周围是人们以自我为中心的一种表现形式。故选B项。

【3】该空下句提到，人们变得越来越不关心礼仪。A项（随着科技的进步）在语境上和下句联系紧密。且越来越不关心和随着科学发展都表现出动作的渐变，在逻辑上也能很好的衔接。故选A项。

【4】该空上句提到，礼貌不仅仅是一个简单的社会礼仪。G项（它也关乎对他人善良，关爱和尊重）的意思和上句是递进关系，尤其通过上句的not just 和本句的 also可以看出两句联系紧密。故选G项。

【5】该空下句提到，他们也会尊重你。C项（只要你尊重他人）和下句构成条件状语从句，且句该主从句的意义符合逻辑关系和文意。故选C项。
