I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store.   小题1: I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you”.
At first I was paid in candy.   小题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.   小题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 should wear? ”I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆)ideas. 小题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.   小题5: 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 my 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.

小题1:B
小题2:A
小题3:G
小题4:C
小题5:D

小题1:选B。从后一句I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying“thank you”. 可推知, 作者的祖母先让作者跟着她学, 然后让作者独立工作, 所以他很快懂得有礼貌地对待客人的重要性。
小题2:选A。前面有at first, 和本项中的later一致。
小题3:选G。根据前一句的My father helped me set up a bank account. 可确定答案。
小题4:选C。同样根据前一句确定答案。
小题5:选D。上文提到a valuable lesson, 这里承接上下文。

Understanding the basic tips on growing grass will help you create a healthy and green lawn. If you plan the right variety at the right time and in the right place, you’ll achieve success.
Autumn is the ideal growing season for the majority of grass varieties. Prepare the soil in this season as you do for any other plant. Based on the type of grass that you have chosen, the nutrient requirements may differ. For poor soil that is lack of essential plant nutrients, you can supply it with some organic fertilizer.
To grow grass successfully, make sure you select the correct variety that will adapt to the soil conditions of your area and to the growing location. You can choose the American shade grass variety or native grass varieties.
The sowing of grass can be done on bare soil or on an existing lawn. After sowing the grass seeds, cover them with a layer of top soil to quicken the germination (萌芽) process. In the first few weeks, you should irrigate the area every other day. Reduce the watering frequency after the grass has germinated. The addition of proper fertilizers at the right time is necessary for the healthy growth of grass. In the case of grass growing in shady environments, limit the use of fertilizers.
Weed control is another important tip for growing grass. The presence of weeds in grass growing areas leads to competition for water and nutrients, thus resulting in the poor growth of the planted grass. Hence, in order to avoid this condition, ensure that you remove the weeds regularly.
Lastly, one should also watch out for the presence of diseases and pests around the grass growing site in order to preserve the beauty of the lawn.
