【解析】文章主要講述了在幼年的時候，我們相信童話故事，堅持認為我們能實現夢想。到了成年，我們不會總是有童話來教導自己，我們開始制造各種借口，停止學習和嘗試。而“Because I can”這句話能夠帶給我們力量，我們應該學會將它的積極力量融入到我們生活的各個方面。

【1】考查總結概括的能力。句意：這里有一些方法可以把這種積極的想法應用到你自己的生活中。根據下文描述分別從積極的態(tài)度、嘗試新事物、大聲講出來、磨練意志。幾個方面講述了“Because I can”這句話能夠帶給我們力量。引起下文。根據題意，故選F。

【2】考查總結概括的能力。句意：更積極。根據下文“Increasing your activity level will provide enormous benefits,both physically and mentally.”提高你的積極行動的水平會給你的身體和心理都帶來巨大的好處。概括段落。根據題意，故選A。

【3】考查上下文的連貫。句意：也許你認為它超出了你的舒適區(qū)。根據上文“It is easy for us to make excuses for why we shouldn't try new things.”我們往往很容易找到借口說為什么我們不應該去嘗試新事物。下文做出解釋。承上啟下。根據題意，故選B。

【4】考查前后句的連貫。句意：不要忘了你擁有一種聲音。根據“Use that voice "because you can."Communicating to loved ones,co-workers,and even your boss as to how you feel,what your needs and expectations are and what you are thinking can help your develop deeper,more meaningful and rewarding relationships.” 不要忘了運用"因為你能行"的聲音。同你愛的人、同事、甚至你的老板交流你是如何感覺的，說出你的需要和期望是什么，以及你是怎么想的能夠幫助你發(fā)展更深的、更有意義的和更有益的關系。引起下文。根據題意，故選C。

【5】考查上下文的連貫。句意：對我們的喜好說“不”是很有挑戰(zhàn)性的。根據“However,developing a strong willpower,whether it is in response to our favorite chocolate cake or to over-shopping is something that we can all benefit from.” 然而，不論是通過拒絕我們心愛的巧克力蛋糕還是停止過度購物和花費超過自身的經濟能力來發(fā)展一種堅強的意志力是我們能夠廣為受益的事情。前后為轉折關系。根據題意，故選D。
