2．解析：选G　当你说出你认为那个人值得表扬的原因时，人们会更加感激。因此，你要用一些例子来说明你为什么认为那个人做得很好。添加一些例子可以让你的赞美更加真诚和有效。

　　3．解析：选B　太多的人会等到他们认为是最好的时机来赞美。事实是，没有什么所谓最好时机。如果你想赞美别人，那么别跟大多数人一样，别拖延，最好的时机就是现在。

　　4．解析：选A　赞美就是赞美，是纯粹的赞美，而不要说他/她做的事情很好，然后指出他或她之前做的事情并不那么好。赞美就是为了让人们感觉良好，不要把其他的事扯进来，要做就要做到百分百。

　　5．解析：选F　根据后一句话Not only is this very selfish，but it destroys all of the sincerity right out of the compliments.可知这不仅是一种自私的行为，而且还会破坏所有的真诚，这与F项永远不要想着要别人恭维你，你才去赞美别人相符合。
