The greatest saleswoman in the world today doesn’t mind if you call her a girl. That’s because Markita Andrews has got more than eight thousand dollars selling Girl Scout cookies since she was seven years old.
Going door-to-door after school, the terribly shy Markita changed herself into the cookie-selling dynamo（高手）.
It starts with great wish.
For Markita and her mother, whose husband left them when Markita was eight years old, their dream was to travel the world. “I’ll work hard to make enough money to send you to college,” her mother said one day. “When you leave college, you’ll make enough money to take you and me around the world. Okay?”
So at the age of 13 when Markita read in her Girl Scout magazine that the Scout（童子軍）who sold the most cookies would win a free trip for two around the world, she decided to sell all the Girl Scout cookies she could—more Girl Scout cookies than anyone in the world, ever.
Wish, however, alone is not enough. To make her dream come true, Markita knew she needed a plan.
“When you are doing business, wear your Girl Scout clothes when you go up to people in their building, ” her aunt told her. “Always smile, whether they buy something or not and always be nice.”
Lots of other Scouts may have wanted that trip around the world, but only Markita went off in her own uniform each day after school, ready to ask—and keep asking—people to help in her dream.
Markita sold 3,526 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that year and won her trip around the world. Since then, she has sold more than 42,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
Markita is no cleverer than thousands of other people, with dreams of their own. The difference is that many people fail before they even begin. They fear（恐懼）that they will be refused. This fear leads many of us to refuse ourselves and prevents us from getting where we have set off for long before anyone else ever has the chance—no matter what we are selling.
“It takes courage（勇氣）to ask for what you want,” she said. “Courage is not that you don’t have fear. It means doing what it takes although you have a fear of it”.
小題1:From the passage we learn that ________.
A．a good planning is the most important in the job of selling
B．Markita took the free trip around the world herself
C．Markita has a full-time selling job now
D．to do something successfully, we should do what is needed

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了Markita是如何從一個非常害羞的女孩成長為銷售餅干的高手的。
小題1:細節(jié)題。根據文章Going door-to-door after school, the terribly shy Markita changed herself into the cookie-selling dynamo（高手）.It starts with great wish.對于非常害羞的Markita
變成一個餅干銷售高手，這一切都是開始于她偉大的夢想�？芍氤晒Φ淖瞿呈�，我們應該做我們所需要的事情。故選D
小題2:細節(jié)題。根據文章可知，That’s because Markita Andrews has got more than eight thousand dollars selling Girl Scout cookies since she was seven years old.當Markita7歲的時候，就開始賣女童子軍餅干。故A錯誤。根據文章可知For Markita and her mother, whose husband left them when Markita was eight years old，可知，Markita是單親孩子。故B正確。根據文章可知，她家很窮。她是上門服務賣餅干的，故C,D錯誤。所以，本題選B
小題3:主旨題。這篇文章主要講述了Markita是如何從一個非常害羞的女孩成長為銷售餅干的高手的。所以，本文的標題應該是一個女孩在銷售方面的成功。故選B
小題4:細節(jié)題。根據文章The difference is that many people fail before they even begin. They fear（恐懼）that they will be refused.可知，Markita的成功主要是因為她不害怕被拒絕。故選B
點評：人物傳記類文體，對于中心比較好把握。本文的解答，首先把握好Markita是如何從一個非常害羞的女孩成長為銷售餅干的高手的這一事情發(fā)展經過，在題目中找到關鍵詞再在文章中找到相對應的地方將對應的每句話要仔細讀懂，對于主旨題要仔細分析作者的寫作目的，結合四個選項利用排除法進行作答。
