[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了提高决策技能的四条建议，包括不求全，不要费时思虑太多，不要延误作决定和不要苛求自己。
1．G 【解析】根据空处所在的位置可知，该句承上启下；根据空前一句“Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions.”可知，不幸的是，人们经常发现很难作决定；据此可以推断，作决定的技能很重要，故G项正确。空处下文中的“your skill of decision making”也是提示。
2．F 【解析】根据该段小标题“Don't expect to have it all.”可知，该段主要论述“不要求全”；结合空后的“You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name but a few.”可知，作决定迫使我们关上了其他可能的大门，故F项正确。
3．A 【解析】根据空处所在的位置可知，空处为该段的小标题；结合本段第一、二句“It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it.”可知，该段主要论述“不要费时思虑太多”这一观点，故A项正确。
4．E 【解析】根据空前的“there is a time to put off making a decision”可知，空处与空前一句和空后一句都是延迟作决定的可能原因，故E项“你可能希望咨询你的顾问”符合语境。
5．C 【解析】根据该段小标题“Don't be hard on yourself.”可知，不要太苛求自己；再结合空后一句“But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.”可知，你要记住这是不可避免的事情；据此可以推断，空处表示“你可能会对你愚蠢的决定后悔”，故C项正确。
