Attention to details 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 come across his desk every day. "It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.
"Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother 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 details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the tree," says Charles Garfield, an associate 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 lightly 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. 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、Careless applicants are not to be trusted.
B、Don’t forget details when drawing pictures.
C、Be aware of the importance of a task before undertaking it.
D、Although too much attention to details may be costly, they should not be overlooked.
答案
D
解析
主旨题。最后一段中作者又再一次强调了小事的重要性:做好了小事,你就会得到颇丰的收获。由此可见,作者要告诉读者的是,虽然注意小事可能要付出代价,但小事不可忽视,故选项D为正确答案。
