单选题Attention to detail is something everyone can and should pay—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% 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.

单选题 We walked so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed to a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to have a seat. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors." "Yes. I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse said. She looked at mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until I couldn't see her and the nurse had turned back to write in the big book. After a long time mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She rapidly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." Outside, mum told me: "Dagmar is fine. No fever." "You saw her, mum?" "Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."

单选题Some people were queuing outside the Scala Theatre for tickets for a very popular show. They had to wait for several hours, and during that time they were entertained by a young man who was playing very nicely on a trumpet. The queue enjoyed his music and put quite a lot of money in the box that he had on the ground in front of him. At last one of the people in the queue said to him, "You play too well to be a beggar." "I"m not a beggar", the young man said. "I"m studying to be a trumpet player in a big band, and I have to practise several hours every day, so I thought it would be nice to do it in the fresh air instead of in my small room on days when the weather was nice- and also to get a bit of money at the same time."

单选题In many western countries people do not bathe every day, Sometimes they bathe only once a week, Sometimes they bathe two or three times a week. They do not bathe often because the weather is cold or because hot water is expensive. They use electricity or wood to boil the water. Electricity and wood cost a lot of money. In cold countries people usually do not feel they are dirty if they do not have a bath. In Japan people bathe very often. Most people have a bath every day. When the weather is hot, they sometimes have two or three baths a day. They bathe in very hot water. Usually the water is almost boiling. They believe that these very hot baths also stop them from falling ill. Each house has its own bath but there are also big baths for everybody. They are found everywhere in Japan. In the bath-house there is one part for men and one part for women. The bath is usually three metres wide, three metres long, and about one metre deep; half-way down there is a narrow seat which goes all the way around the bath. Many people use the bath but it is not dirty. Before a person gets into the big bath, he washes himself first, then he gets into the big bath. He stays there for a short time. When he gets out of the bath, he washes his body with soap and water. After he washes all the soap away, he gets into the big bath again. Soap is not used in the big bath. The water in the big bath is changed very often. The water is also very hot. In some places people hit the water with sticks first. They do this to make the water cooler. Then the men get into the bath very slowly and carefully. When a person gets into a bath, he says, "Excuse me." He does this because, when the hot water moves, it may hurt other people. In some places the hot water comes out of the ground. In other places people boil the water with a big fire. In a small bath at home sometimes people light a fire under the bath. When the water is hot, people in the family take a bath one by one.

单选题They may look like a couple of characters flown in from Disneyland, but the official mascots (吉祥物) of Athens 2004 actually say a lot about Greek culture. Through Phevos and Athena, two of the country's most treasured mythological (神话的) characters, Athens plans to share its history with the world. Phevos is the Greek name for Apollo, god of light and music. His sister, Athena, is the goddess of wisdom and 'art. The city of Athens is named after her. Though their creation was inspired by ancient Greek dolls from the 7th century BC, Phevos and Athena are children of modern times. They are simple and joyful, full of life and creativity, naughty and lovable. As brother and sister, boy and girl, they are also symbols of equality and brotherhood around the world. Whether they are rowing, diving or enjoying themselves on a trampoline (蹦床), Phevos and Athena see sports as a game, as all children do. In this spirit, they represent the Olympic values: participation (参与), equality, co-operation and fair play. In everything they do there is life, laughter, freedom of movement and a will to cooperate and stay united. This summer Phevos and Athena will share the joy of the greatest celebration of humanity (人类): the Olympic Games.
