Question

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,写在答题纸相应的位置。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 general 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 sho uld wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into make-up 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.      and expect they are no longer women purchasing 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.

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

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

【解析】

试题分析：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.B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B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.A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A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.G考查上下文的理解判断能力。G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G项中Watching my money grow恰好能与之呼应，所以G为正确选项。

4.C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C选项内容恰好是讲述她的销售成果，与语境相吻合，所以选C。

5.D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D选项符合语境，讲作者从自身的经历中所获得感悟。故D选项正确。

考点：考查信息匹配。
