I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store．1. _I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you．”
At first I was paid in candy．2. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a．m．to 7 p．m．My father helped me set up a bank account． 3.
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. Expect 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．Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought．
B．Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before．
C．Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers．
D．My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility
E．I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics．．
F．Before long, she let me sit there by myself．
G．Later I received 50 cents an hour．
D Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists．No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change---to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before．
Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art．It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists．In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice．Leslie sought out the same place where ThomasCole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before．Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees．In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background．He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom．
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another．The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests．To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods．
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant．Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience．Many and different are the faces ofart, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings．
