Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台) in her grocery 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(化妆品). 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(化妆) 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】__ Expect they are no longer women buying 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（承担责任）.

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

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

【5】D

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】B 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。考查从后一句I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying ”thank you”. 可推知, 作者的祖母先让作者跟着她学, 然后让作者独立工作, 所以他很快懂得有礼貌地对待客人的重要性。故选B。

【2】A 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前面有at first, 和本项中的later一致。A选项Later逻辑上与之对应，故选A。

【3】G 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前一句的My father helped me set up a bank account. 可确定G选项Watching my money grow was more rewarding/worthy than anything I could have bought.说这比我能买的任何东西都有价值，与之呼应。故选G。

【4】C 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前一句I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆) ideas.确定C选项I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics由于我卖化妆品的优秀的销售能力，打破了卖化妆品的记录。故选C。

【5】D 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文提到a valuable lesson, 这里承接上下文。故选D。
