只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。D．wastooyoungtodoit答案　B解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“IfIcouldtakeyoubackabout20years，you’dknowTerryasacompletegreenhand，whowaswetbehindtheearsinjustabouteverythingheattempted.”可知，20年前Terry开始从事销售工作的时候，他是一个新手，对于销售技巧所知不多。故B项正确。2．TheunderlinedsentenceinParagraph1suggeststhat.A．Terrycouldn’ttradewithEskimosB．TerrylovedhisGrannymoreC．TerrywasafraidtocompeteD．Terrywastoohonesttodothejob答案　D解析　句意理解题。根据本句“Apersoncouldn’tsellfalseteethtohisownGranny，letalonehecouldcompetewiththeothersalespeopleintheindustry.”可知当他从事销售工作的时候，他甚至都不会向自己的奶奶出售不好的假牙，更不要说他还和其他的销售员展开竞争。说明他非常诚实，销售的技巧还很差。所以D项正确。3．Whatmadetheyoungladsucceedinsellingthewindowtotheoldwoman?A．Firstimpressionofgoodpersonality.B．Beinghonestandchildish.C．Highqualityandexpensivewindow.D．Strangewaysofsales.答案　A解析　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Thetruthisthattheyoungladleftonthewomanthefirstimpressionthatshonebrighterthananyofthesalesmen’stalk.”可知，Terry成功地向那位老年女士出售窗户，主要是因为他给对方留下了良好的第一印象。故A正确。4．Thepassageismostlikelywrittento.A．generalreadersB．newsalesmenC．windowmakersD．newgraduates答案　B解析　推理判断题。本文讲述了一个销售新手Terry成功地向顾客销售了一批窗户，而很多其他很有名的销售员都失败了。告诉我们在销售中，第一印象的重要性。所以本文主要是写给新的销售员的。与一般读者、窗户生产商和大学毕业生无关。故B正确。B7
