Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

As a young boy, I knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling. And I knew it  was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I  read their real feelings and responded suitably to their needs. At  the age of eleven, I sold sponge rubber (海绵橡胶) door  to door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy. When I knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but his hands were open and he showed his palms (the inside surfaces of his hands), I knew it was safe to continue with my presentation

because he was not angry or threatening although he may have a negative attitude. If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.

As a teenager, I became a pots and pans (炊具)salesperson, and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house. Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them closely and to know whether they would buy or not simply by watching their body  language.

I joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty. And I went on to break several sales records in my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars' worth of business in my first year. This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well­known Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT, which recognizes the world's top achievers in life insurance). I was lucky that the skills I'd learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this 　new_area　，and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.
