Question

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收銀臺）in her general store. 1. I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy. 2. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 3.

By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妝品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妝）ideas. 4.

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. _5.___ I expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A.Later I received 50 cents an hour.

B.Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

C.I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.

D.Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.

E.My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility.

F.Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G.Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

【解析】本文為一篇記敘文，描寫了我在10歲第一次打工和12歲買化妝品的經歷，總結出作為一個優(yōu)秀的銷售人員應該要傾聽顧客的經驗。

I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.我10歲時和我奶奶一起坐在她雜貨店的收銀臺后----------我快速的意識到了禮貌對待客人并且道謝的重要性。前一句中提到我和奶奶坐在一起，后一句單單只提到了我的意識，缺的句子中應該是奶奶做了什么事情才讓我能夠意識到禮貌對客的重要性。故選B。

2. first，后文應有l(wèi)ater之類的詞接應，并且前一句中的 was paid可以看出這一句是在寫工資的發(fā)放，A選項意為：后來，我時薪50美分。符合題意，故選A

3. father helped me set up a bank account. 前半句講父親幫“我”建立起一個銀行賬戶，后半句話題應承接銀行賬戶的話題，圍繞錢來展開，故選G

4.
