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.(40)D.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.

分析 本文讲述了作者小时候的一段经历给她带来的收获.十岁时,作者开始在店里帮助祖母,因她出色的表现,祖母后来让她帮助销售化妆品.在这段经历中,作者领悟到一个道理:要想成为一个成功的销售人员,你不一定要很聪明,但是你必须要学会倾听,做一个好的听众.
解答 36-40 BAGCD
36.B 考查上下文的理解判断能力.从上下文语境可以判断此空应该是关于作者在店里帮助祖母的内容,而B选项中的Before long,she let me sit there by myself.恰好起到承接上下文的作用,故B选项正确;
37.A 考查上下文的理解判断能力.前句 At first I was paid in candy.是讲作者起初得到的报酬,而A选项内容是关于后来报酬的形式,由此可以推测A选项正确.句意:开始我只是得到一些糖果,后来她给我每小时50美分;
38.G 考查上下文的理解判断能力.G从前句My father helped me set up a bank account.可知父亲给我开了银行账户,纵观选项G项中Watching my money grow恰好能与之呼应,所以G为正确选项;
39.C 考查上下文的理解判断能力.本段讲述祖母因作者的出色表现而让她帮助销售化妆品,而C选项内容恰好是讲述她的销售成果,与语境相吻合,所以选C;
40.D 考查上下文的理解判断能力.从上文The job taught me a valuable lesson…you needed to be a great listener.可以推断D选项符合语境,讲作者从自身的经历中所获得感悟.故D选项正确.
点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.
