【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何与别人和谐共处的几点建议。

【1】

空前一句说和谐共处不仅有助于别人，而且还有助于自己，下文又介绍了如何与人和谐共处的几点建议，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既要对应上文提到的和谐共处话题，又要引出下文的建议，故A项（那么，你如何和别人一起快乐地生活呢？）符合语境。

【2】

空前说有些话题，比如宗教和政治，会让别人立刻感到尴尬，此处承接这一话题，讲的是你们可以谈论的话题，故G项（最好是谈论电影或任何不会导致冲突的事情）符合语境。

【3】

空前说关注你和别人的共同点而不是不同点，因此此处是说每个人都和别人有共同话题，故F项（大多数人都能找到至少几个他们认同的话题）符合语境。

【4】

空后说不要心不在焉，也不要试着去想你要说些什么作为回应，因此此处是说别人说话的时候，你要认真听，故B项（当别人和你说话时，要认真听）符合语境。

【5】

空后说让他们明白，有些谈话话题和行为是你不能容忍的，这说明你要与别人建立一定的界限，越界行为不能容忍，故C项（与生活中的人建立适当的界限）符合语境。
