【1】根據(jù)上文Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at for it ?（你是否曾在公共場(chǎng)合讓自己難堪并因此而被嘲笑?）可知，我們都有過在公共場(chǎng)合讓自己難堪并因此而被嘲笑的經(jīng)歷。是對(duì)上句的回答。故D選項(xiàng)“我們都有這樣的經(jīng)歷�！狈�合上下文語境。故選D。

【2】根據(jù)下文You won’t be able to laugh at yourself without self-acceptance.（沒有自我接納，你就無法自嘲。）中acceptance可對(duì)應(yīng)到B選項(xiàng)中Accept yourself，故B選項(xiàng)“接受不完美的自己�！狈�合上下文語境。故選B。

【3】結(jié)合下文More importantly, it helps you realize your own weaknesses, so you know which areas to do better in.（更重要的是，它可以幫助你認(rèn)識(shí)到自己的弱點(diǎn)，這樣你就知道在哪些方面可以做得更好。）可知是在說明自嘲的好處是讓人認(rèn)識(shí)到自己的弱點(diǎn)，故G選項(xiàng)“這是因?yàn)樽猿坝兄�于心理健康�！狈�合上下文語境。故選G。

【4】根據(jù)下文You might even bring a smile to their faces. People will like it, because it shows that you have the courage to do so and you’re being real about your imperfections.（你甚至可以給他們帶來微笑。人們會(huì)喜歡它，因?yàn)樗�表明你有勇氣這樣做，你對(duì)自己的不完美是真實(shí)的。）可知人們喜歡自嘲的人，因此自嘲會(huì)讓人變得更受歡迎。故A選項(xiàng)“自嘲會(huì)讓你更受歡迎。”符合上下文語境。故選A。

【5】根據(jù)下文So instead of blaming yourself, try to think of your mistakes, in a positive way and accept yourself just as you are.（因此，與其責(zé)備自己，不如試著以積極的方式思考自己的錯(cuò)誤，接受自己本來的樣子。）可知人類都會(huì)有犯錯(cuò)的時(shí)候，與其責(zé)備自己，不如試著以積極的方式思考自己的錯(cuò)誤，接受自己本來的樣子。故F選項(xiàng)“只要記住人類都會(huì)犯錯(cuò)�！狈�合上下文語境。故選F。
