Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式（每空一词）。

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台） in her【1】（总的） store. Before long, she let me sit there by myself. I quickly learned the importance of 【2】（对待） customers politely and saying “thank you”.

At first I was paid in candy. Later I 【3】（接收） 50 cents an hour. 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. Watching my money grow was well 【4】（值得） anything.

By the time I was 【5】（十二） years old, my grandmother thought I had 【6】（表现） so well that she encouraged me to sell cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers 【7】（直接地） 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. My grandma’s trust taught me how to get 【8】（机会） and be responsible.

The job taught me a 【9】（更安全的） lesson: To be a successful salesperson, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist—you need to listen to customers. I expect they are no longer women asking something from me. 【10】（反而）, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

【解析】

文章大意：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。

【1】句意：当我第一次和祖母坐在她总店的收银台后时，我十岁。

根据汉语提示，形容词“总的，总体的”为general。故填general。

【2】句意：我很快学会了礼貌地对待客人，说“谢谢”的重要性。

动词“treat对待”在介词of之后，要用doing形式。故填treating。

【3】句意：后来我一小时接收了50 美分。

本句是一般过去时，所以动词要用它的过去式。故填received。

【4】句意：看着我的钱增多，做任何事情都是值得的。

根据汉语提示，形容词“值得的”为worth和前面的was构成系表结构。故填worth。

【5】句意：在我十二岁的时候，我祖母认为我表现得那么好，结果她鼓励我卖化妆品。

很据汉语提示和句意，用12的基数词—twelve。故填twelve。

【6】句意：在我十二岁的时候，我祖母认为我表现得那么好，结果她鼓励我卖化妆品。

根据句意本句应用过去完成时态。此空用于 had之后，空处要用动词的过去分词。“表现 behave”的过去分词为behaved。故填behaved。

【7】句意：我培养了直接用眼看着顾客的能力。

根据句意空处的词是副词修饰动词look。根据汉语，故填directly。

【8】句意：我祖母的信任教给我怎样得到机会和变得自信。

根据汉语提示，“机会”是chance。chance作为“机会，希望”时是可数名词，此处应为复数。故填chances。

【9】句意：这个工作给我上了更安全的一课。

根据句意和汉语提示，空处为形容词的比较级。故填safer。

【10】句意：相反，他们就是那些告诉我哪些玩具他们希望被设计和改进的孩子们。根据汉语提示可知。故填Instead。
