Answer 1

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀，作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了作者在祖母的幫助下從自己的工作中收獲的東西

解答 51．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)下文的句子"I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying"thank you．""可知作者的祖母先讓作者跟著她學(xué)，然后讓作者獨(dú)立工作，所以他很快懂得有禮貌地對(duì)待客人的重要性．故選B．
52．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)上文的句子"At first I was paid in candy．"可知作者一開(kāi)始的報(bào)酬是糖果，后來(lái)的報(bào)酬是每小時(shí)50美分．故選A．
53．G．推理判斷題．根據(jù)前一句的"My father helped me set up a bank account．"可知作者看見(jiàn)自己的錢(qián)漸漸地多起來(lái)了，這要比作者買(mǎi)任何東西都值得．故選G．
54．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)前一句的"I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妝）ideas．"可知作者很擅長(zhǎng)銷(xiāo)售化妝品，因此這里是：我創(chuàng)造了我的化妝品銷(xiāo)售記錄．故選C．
55．D．推理判斷題．上文提到"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．"可知這里是：今天我仍然記住這個(gè)道理：要傾聽(tīng)顧客需求．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類(lèi)似，不同的是一個(gè)選詞，一個(gè)選句子．解題時(shí)，要注意上下文語(yǔ)境，充分考慮信息詞（選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語(yǔ)境的句子．
