Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者在祖母的帮助下从自己的工作中收获的东西

解答 51．B．推理判断题．根据下文的句子"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．
52．A．推理判断题．根据上文的句子"At first I was paid in candy．"可知作者一开始的报酬是糖果，后来的报酬是每小时50美分．故选A．
53．G．推理判断题．根据前一句的"My father helped me set up a bank account．"可知作者看见自己的钱渐渐地多起来了，这要比作者买任何东西都值得．故选G．
54．C．推理判断题．根据前一句的"I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas．"可知作者很擅长销售化妆品，因此这里是：我创造了我的化妆品销售记录．故选C．
55．D．推理判断题．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．"可知这里是：今天我仍然记住这个道理：要倾听顾客需求．故选D．

点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
