【解析】文章主要講述了作者過生日時的內(nèi)心感受，覺得在生日這一天，使你沮喪的是你發(fā)覺你想要做的事情的列表和去年的一樣，那只會讓你覺得你什么也沒有做，沒有去任何地方。而作者今年沒有這樣的感受了，回顧去年的他，發(fā)覺從那時起他已經(jīng)發(fā)生變化了。

【1】根據(jù)句子：The more you have, the more you try and pretend they don't matter, and the more ___1___可知此處說的是你過的生日越多，你假裝認(rèn)為它們不重要，而很多的人試著告訴你生日不是那么糟糕，上文強(qiáng)調(diào)生日并不是那么重要，所以根據(jù)語境應(yīng)是很多人告訴你生日并不是那么糟糕，故選C。

【2】根據(jù)下文Who isn't getting older every day?可知這是別人說的一句話，所以此處的意思應(yīng)該是就像人們告訴我的一樣：“誰沒有一天天變老呢？”故選D。

【3】根據(jù)句子The problem may be that a birthday reminds people of all the things ___3___ but have not. 可知這個問題是生日會提醒人們他們想做而沒有做的事，根據(jù)語境應(yīng)說他們應(yīng)該要做而沒有做的事情。故選A。

【4】根據(jù)下文 I most want to do—a kind of personal re-ordering( 重新排序) of the to-do list.可知他是想要重新排序一份自己想要做的清單，所以此處應(yīng)該是他覺得是時候去記住他最想做的事情。故選E。

【5】根據(jù)上文 you realize your re-ordered to-do list is exactly the same as it was last year.可知在生日的這一天你發(fā)覺你想要去做的事情的列表和去年的一樣，所以此處應(yīng)該是那使你感覺什么也沒有做。故選B。
