[根据小标题“Makeitsocial(使其具有社交性)”以及后文“Imeansocialforreal(我的意思是现实意义上的社交)．”可知，后文提到了“使其具有社交性”真实的意义，可知本句应当是在说明与后文意思相反的情况，C选项中Idon'tmean与后文Imean相对应。故C选项“不，我不是说在网上公布你的进展”符合语境，故选C。]5．A [根据上文“IfImayspeaksincerely,thecombinationofapp,languageschool,Jim,eveningsout,andachoicebookortwoprovedextremelyeffective(坦率地说，应用程序、语言学校、吉姆、晚上外出和一两本精选书的结合证明是非常有效的)．”可知，上文提到了一种有效的方法，言下之意，作者推荐这种做法，A选项中it指代上文thecombinationof。A选项“我推荐”符合语境，故选A。]
