Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do—especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley,a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that came across his desk every day. "It’s amazing how many candidates (求职者) eliminate themselves, "he says.
"Resumes (简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother (麻烦) to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,"Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"
Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely not. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the trees",says Charles Garfield, associate (副) professor at the University of California, San Francisco,"We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don’t,we should drop them and move to something else. "
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,"says Garfield,"But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary. "Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
Too often we believe what accounts for others’ success is some special secret or a lucky break(机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well,large rewards follow.
Which of the following is the author’s advice to the reader?
选项
A、Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked. (忽视)
B、Don’t forget details when drawing pictures.
C、Beware of the importance of a task before undertaking it.
D、Careless applicants are not to be trusted.
答案
A
解析
依据文章第一段,作者说“Attention to detail is something everyone can and shoulddo…”,紧接着在文章第三段,作者又说“Can we pay too much attention to detail?Ab—solutely not.”由此可见,作者就“细节”问题而言给读者提供了一个辩证的建议;过分注重细节是不可取的,但忽视细节也是不可取的。这正是选择项A的意思(尽管太注重细节代价很大,但细节也不能忽视),故答案为A。
