答案：【解析】：这是一道英语阅读理解中的选句填空题，考查的是对文章内容的理解和逻辑关系的把握。需要从给出的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。解题的关键在于理解每个空白处前后文的内容，找出它们之间的逻辑联系，然后从选项中找出最符合这种逻辑联系的句子。
【答案】：
(1) F。根据后文“Some animals need to sleep for as many as twenty hours a day!”可知，此处是在说所有的生物都需要睡觉，从小蝴蝶到大象，故F项“Every living thing sleeps, from a small butterfly to a large elephant.”符合语境。
(2) D。根据前文“People don’t need to sleep so long, but our sleep is important too.”可知，此处是在说睡眠对我们的重要性，故D项“We need sleep to keep us healthy, happy and energetic!”符合语境。
(3) E。根据前文“In fact, when you are sleeping, your body and brain are very busy getting ready for a new day.”可知，睡眠是为了新的一天做准备，所以给自己足够的时间睡觉很重要，故E项“That is why it is important to give yourself enough time to sleep.”符合语境。
(4) B。根据后文“By the end of a day, your body is in need of sleep.”可知，到了一天结束的时候，你的身体需要睡眠，这是因为你在白天消耗了很多能量，故B项“You use a lot of energy to go to school, play outside and have a piano lesson.”符合语境。
(5) C。根据前文“You are like a car, with your petrol tank (汽油箱) full in the morning, and empty at the end of a day. Your parents have to go to the petrol station when the car is out of petrol.”可知，此处是在用汽车加油来比喻人需要睡眠来补充能量，故C项“You fill your own ‘petrol tank’ when you sleep.”符合语境。
