解析：
【小题1】选B。从后一句I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying“thank you”. 可推知, 作者的祖母先让作者跟着她学, 然后让作者独立工作, 所以他很快懂得有礼貌地对待客人的重要性。
【小题2】选A。前面有at first, 和本项中的later一致。
【小题3】选G。根据前一句的My father helped me set up a bank account. 可确定答案。
【小题4】选C。同样根据前一句确定答案。
【小题5】选D。上文提到a valuable lesson, 这里承接上下文。
