【解析】

這是一篇說明文。作者認為如果你想成長，你應該做的一件重要的事情就是寫日記。它可能看起來很簡單，但它可以使你的生活有很大的不同。文章主要說明了一些寫日記的好處。

【1】根據(jù)后文And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.可知，說實話，我無法想象沒有它我的生活會是什么樣子。由此可知，作者已經(jīng)養(yǎng)成了寫日記的習慣。故G選項“寫日記已經(jīng)成為我的一種習慣”符合上下文語境，故選G。

【2】根據(jù)后文But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible.可知，但后來我養(yǎng)成了一個習慣，那就是盡可能快地把我想到的每一個想法都寫下來。由此可知，作者自己也有上文提到的“有了想法但是沒有寫下來而忘記了這個想法”的經(jīng)歷。故B選項“我自己也經(jīng)常有這樣的經(jīng)歷”符合上下文語境，故選B。

【3】根據(jù)后文By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten.可知,通過回顧你的日記，你可以很快看到你學到的教訓和得到的想法。由此可知，日記可以幫助人們來回顧自己學到的經(jīng)驗教訓。故D選項“它可以幫助你復習你學過的所有經(jīng)驗教訓”符合上下文語境，故選D。

【4】根據(jù)上文Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today.可知，在過去是大問題的事情在今天可能看起來很小。由此可知，此處承接上文，同樣是說明過去的想法可能今天已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了。故C選項“過去的原始想法今天可能已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了”符合上下文語境，故選C。

【5】根據(jù)后文In the end, you expand your ideas.可知，最后，你擴展了你的想法。由此可知，日記幫助你積極的思考，從而將自己的想法與另一個想法聯(lián)系起來，最后擴展了你的想法。故F選項“積極的思考可以幫助你將自己的想法與另一個想法聯(lián)系起來”符合上下文語境，故選F。
