By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye.

Answer 1

  71---75   BAGCD  

解析:

【语篇解读】本片是一篇记叙文。讲述了“我”独自卖货的经历和挣钱的心得，从而得出一个非常有价值的经验：当一个倾听者。

71. 根据文章第一句话“…first sat with my grandmother ….”于是不久以后“我”就独自坐在收银台后面了。因此正确答案为B。

72. 根据前一句话“At first, I was paid in candy.”可知，刚开始“我”是以糖块来获得报酬的。于是后来过渡到每小时得50美分。因此正确答案为A。

73. 爸爸帮“我”建了一个账户，因此能看到钱不断地增多比“我”买任何东西都感觉到有回报。因此正确答案为G。

74. 本段讲述了“我”开始卖化妆品，因此最后我卖化妆品达到了一个记录。因此正确答案为C。

75.上一句“You needed to be a great listener.”告诉大家“我”的工作心得就是当一个倾听者。而下一句说现在“我”仍然谨记这个经验：当一个倾听者。因此正确答案为D。
