【解析】

试题分析：本文对批评的两种类型进行了分析，一种是伤人的，一种是委婉的，虽然两者是不同的，但你要相信对方是好意，把对方的批评换个角度考虑，就能对你有益。

1.D 根据前句Criticism can be divided into two types批评可以分成两种类型。以及第二段第一句话The second type of criticism involves pointing out your weaknesses and mistakes。所以此空当然是介绍第一种类型，所以D正确。

2.A 根据前句yet many imperfect people seem to find it extremely easy to “let us know” when we mess up.以及空后And the fact that they are telling us what we already know makes it much more annoying.事实是他们告诉我们的是我们已经知道的内容，这更让人烦，所以A正确。

3.F 根据前句You need to be secure in who you are and the decisions that you make.句中的关键连接词decisions,所以F正确。

4.B 根据前句Be mature enough to truly hear what they are saying, even if you don’t agree with it at first,即使起初你不同意他们的话，下句应该为：你会慢慢意识到…所以B正确。

5.G 此句为如果有人指出了你的错误，你把它看成是好事，后句Improving yourself works best if you can see yourself from different angles如果你从不同角度看自己你就可以最佳的提高自我，所以G正确。
