Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】G

【4】E

【5】B

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，介绍了自己帮助奶奶在店里卖东西，学会了一个终身受用的教训：学会倾听。

【1】C根据前一句 I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台），我之前和祖母一起收银，说明我后来就自己坐在收银台了。后一句I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “Thank you.”正是我收银以后学会了使用“Thank you”，故C正确。

【2】A 根据横线前两句My grandmother treated me well. At first I was paid in candy. 说明奶奶给我的报酬在变化，最初的时候只给我糖果，横线上叙述的应该是后来发生的事情。故A项“Later I received 50 cents an hour.后来我的报酬是一小时50美分”与上下文一致。

【3】G 根据前一句My father helped me set up a bank account.父亲给我设立了一个银行账户，我把挣得钱存到账户里。看着自己挣得钱不断增加是很高兴的事情，要比我买到任何其他的东西更好。所以本句应该与这个话题有关。故G项正确。

【4】E 根据横线后一句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 ideas说明虽然我很小，但是我能够理解顾客的心理，知道他们需要什么。所以E项“I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye”与这个话题相关。

【5】B 根据横线后第二句Today I still carry this lesson with me: I listen to customers.直到今天我还记得这个教训：多听顾客讲述。说明横线上应该在叙述自己从这份工作中所得到的东西。故B“The job taught me a valuable lesson”正确。
