解析：

(1)	Fill in…for sb．意为：临时替代某人
(2)	因为我以前没有做过，所以我会搞砸的。
(3)	我担心不是赚钱，而是亏本。
(4)	母亲说：你能行的，况且要到中午才有生意
(5)	good with 意为：在……方面有本事。也就是说作者做买卖不太会算数。
(6)	本句意思应该是：别让我去做吧。为省略句，Don't make me do it．
(7)	作者认为母亲要他去替班不是一个好主意。其他意义和搭配都不通。
(8)	虽然觉得不好，但还是听从了母亲的安排。
(9)	次日我到店里时，发现完全不是母亲所说的“要到中午才有生意”，下一句说明生意红火，所以说“母亲错了”。
(10)	因为初来上班，没有经验，所以，开始的时候，应付不过来。At(the)least至少，at last 终于，at(the)most至多
(11)	从上下文可知：购买的队伍越来越长，而我有业务不熟，动作缓慢，所以等待的人群好像不耐烦了。其他语义不通。
(12)	break sth．into pieces 把。。。摔得粉碎。其他词没这个搭配。
(13)	母亲看到我手忙脚乱，便过来帮我。
(14)	根据下句及52空后，这里应该是母亲还教我怎么找零钱．注意：make change(for)是找零钱的意思，make a change是做出更改的意思。Make money赚钱，make coffee冲咖啡，和上下文无关。
(15)	因为5－3.5＝1.75，所以要找对方的钱数恰好就是：3×0.25(quarter)＋1＝1.75
(16)	自那以后，事情就更加顺利了。Go smoothly进展顺利
(17)	add up bill把帐清理好(加起来)，turn in上缴、上交，count out不把……计算在内，take over移交，这些表达都和上下文不连贯，本句是说明作者一天下来学到了很多东西：菜单记得了，打单、找零都很快了。
(18)	对于没开始做生意的作者来说，没有生意当然好(所以母亲开始给作者打气时就说“要到中午才有生意”)免得出错。但一天下来，作者已是熟练了，所以，当太阳出来，生意差了时，他甚至感到有点沮丧。Discouraged指遇到困难等事(气馁)，disturbed受到扰乱
(19)	只有suggest的从句才用(should)do，其他没有这种结构。
(20)	对未来的想象
