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.__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__ Except 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.
1.【答案】B
【解析】根据上文“I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier in her general store.”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。
