【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了保持安全并作出明智選擇的五個(gè)具體建議。

【1】根據(jù)橫線后句Make sure that the location services are turned on on your phone, just in case you get lost.可知我們要確保手機(jī)的定位服務(wù)是打開(kāi)的，也就是說(shuō)我們可以通過(guò)手機(jī)中的定位功能來(lái)幫助我們。故F項(xiàng)符合上下文語(yǔ)境。

【2】根據(jù)橫線后句A fun day out can turn into the worst headache ever if you realize you've left something behind.可知丟三落四會(huì)讓快樂(lè)的一天變成痛苦的經(jīng)歷，所以我們要確保自己的個(gè)人物品都保管得很好。故C項(xiàng)符合上下文語(yǔ)境。

【3】根據(jù)本段第一句If you have the choice between a busy street and a deserted one, always pick the busy one.可知本段是關(guān)于如何選擇路線的。故A項(xiàng)符合本段中心思想。

【4】根據(jù)橫線前句Don't go anywhere — especially an unfamiliar place —without a friend or two.可知作者建議我們不要在沒(méi)有他人陪伴的情況下外出。如果不得不外出，也要讓別人知道你的去向。故G項(xiàng)“If you must go out alone, be sure to tell someone where you're going.”符合語(yǔ)境。

【5】橫線前句Losing concentration puts you at risk from accidents, attacks and getting lost.告訴我們失去專注會(huì)讓我們處于危險(xiǎn)之中，邊走路邊發(fā)信息也屬于失去專注的一類行為，也是應(yīng)該避免的。故E項(xiàng)“This also goes for texting while walking.”符合上下文語(yǔ)境。
