【解析】

這是一篇議論文。文章就如何過上幸福的生活提出了一些建議。

【1】根據(jù)后文Optimists have a 35% less chance of having a heart attack or stroke, are more likely to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, have stronger immune systems and even live longer.可知樂觀主義者得心臟病或中風的幾率要低35%，飲食健康，經(jīng)常鍛煉，免疫系統(tǒng)更強，甚至更長壽。由此可知，保持樂觀，看到生活的光明面對個人的身體有好處。故C選項“看到生活的光明面對你有好處”符合上下文語境，故選C。

【2】根據(jù)上文Start volunteering.可知開始志愿服務。由此可知，本句承接上文說明做志愿服務的原因和好處是志愿活動可以減輕壓力和抑郁。上文中volunteering可對應到G選項中volunteering。故G選項“研究表明，志愿活動可以減輕壓力和抑郁”符合上下文語境，故選G。

【3】根據(jù)上文One of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a journal.可知讓感恩成為你生活的一部分的最好方法之一就是寫日記。由此可知，本句承接上文說明在日記中可以寫下些什么內(nèi)容。其中上文中journal可對應到E選項中diary，二者為同義詞“日記”。故E選項“你可以在日記中記下一些積極的經(jīng)歷”符合上下文語境，故選E。

【4】根據(jù)后文People who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are happier.可知與家庭、朋友和社區(qū)的社會聯(lián)系越緊密的人越快樂。由此可知，本句建議的是加強社會聯(lián)系可以讓人更快樂。故B選項“加強社會聯(lián)系”符合上下文語境，故選B。

【5】結(jié)合上文People who are more socially connected to family, friends and community are happier. They re physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less connected. High-conflict marriages, without much affection, turn out to be very bad for health, perhaps worse than getting divorced.可知與家庭、朋友和社區(qū)的社會聯(lián)系越緊密的人越快樂。他們身體更健康，比那些與外界聯(lián)系較少的人活得更長。沒有太多感情的高沖突的婚姻對健康非常不利，可能比離婚更糟糕。由此可知，與那些與外界聯(lián)系較少的人和沒有太多感情的高沖突的婚姻情況相反的是，良好的人際關(guān)系對健康有益。故D選項“相反，良好的人際關(guān)系對健康有益”符合上下文語境，故選D。
