Attention to details is something everyone can and should do--especially in a tight job market. Bob Cross Icy, 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 candidates," 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 Il 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. [br] The underlined word "perfectionists" (Para. 3) refers to those who ______.

B、know how to adjust their goals according to the circumstances
C、demand others to get everything absolutely right
D、are capable of achieving perfect results in whatever they do
答案
A
解析
词汇猜测题。本题需要从perfectionists一词所出现的上下文中推断出它的意思。文章第三段开始一句就指出“Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely.”然后作者举例指出perfectionists是那些为小事操劳,但却以牺牲工作中重要事情为代价的人。意思即perfectionists是那些过分注意细节而丢失了大目标的人,故选项A为正确答案。选项B不是正确答案是因为“知道怎样根据环境变化调整自己目标的人”正好与第三段内容相反。选项C“要求他
