Question

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收銀臺(tái)）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(jīng)歷，總結(jié)出作為一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的銷售人員應(yīng)該要傾聽顧客的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

1. was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收銀臺(tái)）in her general store. I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.我10歲時(shí)和我奶奶一起坐在她雜貨店的收銀臺(tái)后----------我快速的意識(shí)到了禮貌對(duì)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(shí)，缺的句子中應(yīng)該是奶奶做了什么事情才讓我能夠意識(shí)到禮貌對(duì)客的重要性。故選B。

2. first，后文應(yīng)有l(wèi)ater之類的詞接應(yīng)，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(xiàng)意為：后來，我時(shí)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(gè)銀行賬戶，后半句話題應(yīng)承接銀行賬戶的話題，圍繞錢來展開，故選G

4.

賣的手段，按照邏輯順序，最后一句為這項(xiàng)經(jīng)歷的結(jié)果比較合適，C我賣的化妝品打破了記錄。故選C

5.
