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】__ Expect they are no longer women buying cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

【解析】

试题分析：本文为一篇记叙文，描写了我在10岁第一次打工和12岁买化妆品的经历，总结出作为一个优秀的销售人员应该要倾听顾客的经验

【1】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。故选B。

【2】A由上句At first I was paid in candy.可知，前面有at first, 和本项中的later一致。故选A

【3】G根据前一句的My father helped me set up a bank account.我父亲帮我建立一个银行账户，因此这句话说看我的钱增长比我买任何东西都更有回报，符合语境。故选G

【4】C根据I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas.我把她们的问题，真正的兴趣，能够转化成他们所想要的化妆的想法。后面紧接着说我我打破了化妆品销售记录。故选C

【5】D最后一段是用来总结道理的，第一句提到lesson教训，就可以知道后文跟教训有关。D现在，我仍然将倾听顾客铭记在心。符合题意，故选D
