考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。由前面一句说要允许你的朋友们做他们自己，也就是不要对朋友太挑剔。find fault (缺点) with挑某人毛病。故选E。

【点睛】七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。又由于"七选五"空出的是句子，因而这些句子与句子之间必然有一种联系。因此，我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间的关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如：小题1考查上下文理解。根据空后的根据下一句But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage.（但是对于我们很多人这个过程是困难的）可知前句应该是意义相反。后句中的but表转折，是解答本题的关键所在。故F项Making new friends is easy for some people（交朋友对于有些人来说是容易的）符合题意。
