5.Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do-especially in 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 (淘汰) themselves,"he says."Resumes (简历) arrive with faults.Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly.Once I see a mistake,I refuse 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 not.
Perfectionists(完美主义者) struggle over little things instead of something larger they work toward."To keep from losing the forest for the trees,"says Charles Garfield,the professor at the University of California,San Francisco,"We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working will influence 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 90percent of the time,"says Garfield."But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal.This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary."Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
Again and again,we see that by doing little things within our grasp well,large rewards follow.

分析 注意细节是每个人都能做的并且应该做到的事情,尤其在竞争激烈的就业市场中更应该这样.文章通过实例的比较说明细节固然重要,但是不能只拘泥于细节,在平时工作时要有明确的目标,这样才能避免一些无谓的细节.
解答 67.B 细节理解题.根据第二段的"Resumes (简历) arrive with faults.Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly."可知,有些候选者的简历把公司名称都写错了,所以有些求职者被拒绝是因为他们太粗心了,简历中出现了拼写错误,故选B.
68.D 推理判断题.根据第四段的"Perfectionists(完美主义者) struggle over little things instead of something larger they work toward."可知,完美主义者纠结于小事而不是工作中某些更大的事情,所以完美主义者注意细节超过他们的主要目标,故选D.
69.C 推理判断题.根据第四段结尾"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."可知,虽然细节重要,但是也不能太过于关注,要是这个细节不是特别的重要,就应当跳过,转向其他的方面.所以加菲尔德通过举例使他的观点更令人信服,故选C.

What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.'?Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music,and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence.As a teenager,Clinton played saxophone in a band.Townshend,who has the more severe hearing loss,was a guitarist for a band called the Who.He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.
Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15minutes of listening to loud music.One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones.One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.
"What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged,but they're not dead,"says physician and ear specialist Dr.Sam Levine.According to Dr.Levine,if you avoid further exposure to loud noise,it's possible to recondition the cells somewhat.However,he adds,"Eventually,over a long period of time,hair cells are permanently damaged."And this is no small problem.
What sound level is dangerous?According to Dr.Levine,regular exposure to noise above 85decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous.The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds.Here's another measurement you can use.If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard,you're at risk for hearing loss.That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.
The facts are pretty frightening.But are rock bands turning down the volume.'?Most aren't."Rock music is supposed to be loud,"says drummer Andrew Sather."I wouldn't have it any other way.And neither would the real fans of rock."
Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness,according to Dr.Levine.He states,"There's no cure for hearing loss.Your ears are trying to tell you something.That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying.Each time that happens,more and more damage is done."
