2012-2013第一学期期末完形填空配题 （一） My life as a roofing（屋顶）salesman began almost sixty years ago. I happened to meet Johnny Brown, the manager of a small company. He told me he needed a young man like myself. “The war is over, and everyone a new roof,” Johnny said. “But if you just go out and ask people if they want a new roof, they will just say no. 2 you have to make up a story they’re willing to listen to.” “What’s the story?” I asked. “The story is that you are working for the RZ Advertising Company. You are 3 a home in the neighborhood to put on a new roof. If the family allows you to put this new roof 4 , your company will photograph it, advertise it, and bring around people to look at it. For the inconvenience（不便） that was to the family the company will make a plan to have the roof put on at a very low price.” “Which,” I said 6 , “is probably the same price that any roof would cost.” “You’ve 7 it.” Johnny said. “Now I don’t want you to think we’re doing anything dishonest. The people do get a good roof, and besides, they have something to tell the neighbors. It makes them feel 8 on their street.” “What am I supposed to do?” “You give your 9 to the wife and the husband. If they are both interested, you tell them your 10 will come by and talk to them, and you set up a meeting. Then I go in to 11 . If they buy a roof, you get 10% on the sale.” The next afternoon I was out ringing doorbells in Los Angeles. It took a week before I made a sale, but the pay was $30. And when Johnny paid me, I was so 12 that I decided I might make the roofing business my life work. （ ）1. A. makes B. needs C. protect s D. refuses （ ）2. A. But B. If C. So D. Because （ ）3.
