【解析】本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述了积极的人不仅生活质量高，而且健康状况好，并介绍了如何成为积极的思想者。

1.根据空前“Positive thinkers don't only live happier lives,and have better health but they are also more likely to reach their goals.”可知，第一句讲积极的人不仅生活质量高，而且健康状况好，接下来会讲消极方面，两者形成鲜明对比。空后的“Even if a negative thinker managed to succeed...”即使消极的人想尽一切办法成功了...是在对前一句作让步，更加印证了此处在讲消极的思维会阻碍人成功。故选G。

2.此段的小标题是“Stay around positive people.”，可知此段在讲与人相处，选项中与之相关的只有A和E。A是一个祈使句，一般作为小标题，且意思不符合语境。E的意思是人们以情绪和信仰相互感染，正体现了相处的过程。故选E。

3.此段讲“Reduce the stress”，关键词stress，锁定F，其意思是你压力越大，就越有可能忧虑。故选F。

4.空前讲积极的思考（think positively）带来的好处，空后讲消极的思考“think negatively”带来的坏处，一正一反。E选项中“negative thinking”=think negatively，“The opposite”相反，逻辑和内容都完全契合。故选E。

5.根据“Whenever you get exposed to positive media your mind ...”，很容易匹配到答案“Get exposed to positive media.”。故选B。

【名师点睛】七选五旨在考查学生对全文整体理解和对信息辨析的能力，做此题时首先需要先了解文章的整体结构，弄清文章大意，然后浏览7个备选项，再结合上下文进行推理判断。通过通读全文，了解到文章主要介绍了如何成为积极的思想者。主要根据空白处进行选择。

例如，第5题，首先根据前几段发现，除了第一段开篇点题引出下文以外，每一段都是一种成为积极的思想者应采用的方法，互相之间并无联系。又因为此处是小标题，浏览选项发现只有AB可以，再结合下文“Whenever you get exposed to positive media your mind...无论何时暴露于积极的媒体，您的头脑...”和“Get exposed to positive media.”如出一辙。故选B。
