5. According to

【分析】
本题为词汇运用题，需根据括号内汉语意思，结合句子时态、固定搭配及语境，写出正确的英语短语形式。解题思路：1. 先明确每个小题对应的汉语短语；2. 分析句子时态（如一般过去时、一般现在时等），调整短语的动词形式；3. 检查短语是否符合固定搭配要求，确保语法正确。
【解析】
1. “奏效；成功”对应的固定短语是pay off，句子时间状语为Ten years later，描述过去的动作，需用一般过去时，故填paid off。
2. “树立好榜样”对应的固定短语是set a good example，情态动词should后接动词原形，直接填写该短语即可。
3. “没有机会”对应的固定短语是have no chance，主句为一般过去时（was sad），从句动作发生在过去，需用一般过去时，故填had no chance。
4. “只要”对应的固定短语是as long as，用于引导条件状语从句，符合句子语境。
5. “根据……”对应的固定短语是According to，位于句首时单词首字母需大写，故填写该短语。
【答案】
1. paid off 2. set a good example 3. had no chance 4. as long as 5. According to
【知识点】
固定短语、动词时态
【点评】
