【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日常生活中我们应该如何处理与朋友相处时的难题。

【1】考查段尾句。根据空前“Friendships can be sources of joy and sources of sorrow. There isn’t exactly a rule book on what to do when things get tense or bad.(友谊可以带来欢乐也可以带来悲伤。在事情变得紧张或不好的时候，并没有什么规则可循)”可知，G项（以下是专家提出的解决常见关系难题的技巧）能够承接上文。该选项中的relationship difficulties与前一句的things get tense or bad是相关表达。故选G项。

【2】考查段尾句。根据空前“we don’t have formal contracts with friends where we’ve agreed to never disappoint each other. Therefore if you bring a fantasy about what the ideal friend will do in any situation to a relationship,(朋友之间没有正式的合同来保证朋友之间不会让彼此失望。因此，如果你幻想着理想的朋友在任何情况下都应该做出合适的举动)”可知，D项（你会感到失望的）能够承接上文。该选项表示的是幻想的结果。故选D项。

【3】考查段尾句。根据空前“Maybe one friend is going through a breakup and needs extra support.　It’s also possible another friend simply has more to discuss at any given time.(也许一个朋友遭受着分手的痛苦，需要支持。也许你的另一个朋友有更多的事情需要讨论)”可知，F项（在这样的时候，重要的是你要学会成为一个更好的倾听者）能够承接上文。该选项中的these指的是前面所举的情况。故选F项。

【4】考查段落标题。本段主要说明与朋友交往时出现的一些问题，朋友间会彼此嫉妒。根据另外两个小标题“Broken promises”和“when things feel unbalanced”可知，小标题是在阐述出现的问题，而不是提出一些建议。本题干扰项为C项，但是根据本段内容“当您星期一早上登录Facebook时发现您的朋友在没有您的情况下进行了一次周末度假时，你会感觉不舒服。”可知，A项（感觉被遗忘）能够与本段的话题内容相符。故选A项。

【5】考查段尾句。根据空前“Then find someone else to talk to — maybe, a family member, or a close friend (not one who went on the trip) — to explain how you feel. If you do make conversations,(然后找其他人——也许是家人，或者是亲密的朋友（不是去旅行的人）——来解释你的感受。如果你真的会说话)”可知，E项（你可能会想到你与朋友之间发生了什么以及如何去应对）能够承接上文。此处表示“你找一个人谈一下会产生的效果”。故选E项。
