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.
The example of the Apollo II moon launch is given to illustrate(证明)that______.
选项
A、minor mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectives
B、failure is the mother of success
C、adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any work
D、keeping one’s goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be overlooked
答案
D
解析
这是一道具体细节题,依据第四小节,作者举“阿波罗”登月计划这个例子是想说明:有了一个总体目标,就能帮助我们进行必要的调节(…allowed us to make adjustments asnecessary),根据上下文,所谓“必要的调节”实际就是指细节的取舍,由此可以确定,选择项D是本题正确答案。
