【解析】

試題分析：懶惰是人們的天性，對人們會有消極的影響。作者在文章中對懶惰提出了四條具體的建議。

【1】C 根據(jù)第一句Laziness is a mental state of an individual when it lacks energy or the desire to perform tasks懶惰是一種不想做事的精神狀態(tài)。它對人們會有消極的影響，橫線后句“Here are some tips for overcoming it.”串聯(lián)上下文，提出克服這一情況的方法。故C項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】B 根據(jù)橫線后句An effective trick that helps you fight laziness effectively is to start with the simple things first.可知戰(zhàn)勝懶惰的方法之一就是先做簡單的事情。故B項“Simple things first.”與本段中心思想一致。

【3】A 本段第一句Step by step.告訴我們要一步一步地完成任務。和A項“perform your tasks one after another in a relaxed way.”觀點一致。

【4】F 本段建議為“Make a to-do list.”列出要做的事情的順序，也就是說把很多任務計劃好，先做和后做的有明確的安排。故F項“Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation with a pile of work.”與段落大意一致。

【5】D 本段建議為“Remove distractions.”即要求我們清除干擾完成任務的事情，只有這樣我們才可以按照計劃完成任務。這與D項“Whatever it is that distracts you, remove it!”一致。
