【解析】

试题分析：本文写了人生，成功，爱等一系列的话题，教会我们怎样面对成功与失败。

【1】C 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由文中They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. . It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. 可知他们教我们分辨好坏，只有在我们结婚以后有了孩子才能理解他们的感受，可以推理出我们当时并不懂父母的感受，我们认为那是理所当然的，所以C正确。

【2】G 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由后文提到了No mind is happy without peace.没有安宁，没有人是开心的。说明安宁对幸福很重要。可知G项“Peace of mind is the main link to happiness”正确。

【3】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由本部分的标题Failure and Success可知后文写的应是失败与成功之间的关系，选项中只有F项“Failure is the path to success”讨论的是这个话题。故F项符合上下文串联。

【4】A 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。由前后文Hope builds in patience. , because after every night there is a day可知，希望是建立在耐心的基础上的，因为明天又是新的一天，可以推理出此处应是嘴低沉的时光，所以选A项“Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour”生活教会我们即使在黑暗的时候也不要绝望。

【5】B 根据后半句 so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.明天是未知的，不管是否正确，我们要做的是在今天更加努力，所以选B项“So the only alternative is work hard today”。
