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 sho uld wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into make-up 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.      and 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】

試題分析：本文講述了作者小時候的一段經歷給她帶來的收獲。十歲時，作者開始在店里幫助祖母，因她

出色的表現，祖母后來讓她幫助銷售化妝品。在這段經歷中，作者領悟到一個道理：要想成為一個成功的

銷售人員，你不一定要很聰明，但是你必須要學會傾聽，做一個好的聽眾。

1.B考查上下文的理解判斷能力。從上下文語境可以判斷此空應該是關于作者在店里幫助祖母的內容，而B選項中的Before long, she let me sit there by myself.恰好起到承接上下文的作用，故B選項正確。

2.A考查上下文的理解判斷能力。前句 At first I was paid in candy.是講作者起初得到的報酬，而A選項內容是關于后來報酬的形式，由此可以推測A選項正確。句意：開始我只是得到一些糖果，后來她給我每小時50美分。

3.G考查上下文的理解判斷能力。G從前句My father helped me set up a bank account.可知父親給我開了銀行賬戶，縱觀選項G項中Watching my money grow恰好能與之呼應，所以G為正確選項。

4.C考查上下文的理解判斷能力。本段講述祖母因作者的出色表現而讓她幫助銷售化妝品，而C選項內容恰好是講述她的銷售成果，與語境相吻合，所以選C。

5.D考查上下文的理解判斷能力。從上文The job taught me a valuable lesson。。。you needed to be a great listener.可以推斷D選項符合語境，講作者從自身的經歷中所獲得感悟。故D選項正確。

考點：考查信息匹配。
