【解析】

试题解析：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】考查上下文的理解判断能力。从上下文语境可以判断此空应该是关于作者在店里帮助祖母的内容，而F选项中的Before long, she let me sit there by myself．恰好起到承接上下文的作用，故B选项正确。

【2】考查上下文的理解判断能力。前句 At first I was paid in candy．是讲作者起初得到的报酬，而G选项内容是关于后来报酬的形式，由此可以推测A选项正确。句意：开始我只是得到一些糖果，后来她给我每小时50美分。

【3】考查上下文的理解判断能力。A从前句My father helped me set up a bank account．可知父亲给我开了银行账户，纵观选项A项中Watching my money grow恰好能与之呼应，所以A为正确选项。

【4】考查上下文的理解判断能力。本段讲述祖母因作者的出色表现而让她帮助销售化妆品，而E选项内容恰好是讲述她的销售成果，与语境相吻合，所以选E。

【5】考查上下文的理解判断能力。从上文The job taught me a valuable lesson。。。you needed to be a great listener．可以推断C选项符合语境，讲作者从自身的经历中所获得感悟。故C选项正确。
