Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do―especially in a tight job mar?ket. Bob Crossley,a humanresources expert notices 1        in the job applications that 2        his desk every day. "It's 3       how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.

"Resumes (简历) 4       with stains. Some candidates don't 5        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 6       ,why should we 7        them with a job?"

Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle 8        little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep 9        losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield,associate professor at the University of California,San Fran?cisco ,"we must constantly ask ourselves 10        the details we're working on 11        into the larger picture. If they don't,we should 12        them and move to something else."

Garfield compares this process 13        his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon 14        was slightly offcourse 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact 15        of our goal. This allowed us to 16        adjustments as necessary."Knowing where we want to go 17        us judge the im?portance of every task we undertake.

Too often we believe 18        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 19        things within our grasp well,large rewards 20       .

Makeup advertisements featuring actor Julia Roberts and supermodel Christy Turlington have been banned in the UK because of their controversial use of "airbrushing"(图像"磨皮”工具) .

Britain's Advertising Standards Agency 1        the ban after politician Jo Swinson com?plained about the two ads,for foundation products made by L'Oreal's Maybelline and Lancome brands. L'Oreal 2       the photographs 3        used had been digitally manipulated (电子处理) and retouched. But the cosmetics giant claimed they " accurately 4        the effects their make?up ―Maybelline's The Eraser antiageing foundation and Lancome's Teint Miracle ― could 5       .

Swinson,who has waged (致力于) a longrunning campaign against the use of "unrealistic" images in fashion and 6       ,said it was " shocking" that the ASA had not been allowed to see the original version of the Roberts 7       " It shows just how ridiculous things have become 8        there is such fear over an unairbrushed photo 9        even the advertising regulator isn't permitted to see it."

The Scottish MP 10       the ban,and said it should act as a wakeup call to advertisers,urging them to "get 11       to 12       . ” "Pictures of flawless (无瑕的) skin and superslim bodies are all around,but they don't reflect reality," she said. "With one 13        four people feeling depressed about their body,it's time to consider how these idealised images are distorting our idea of beauty. " Excessive (过分的) airbrushing and digital manipulation techniques have be?come the norm (规范,标准) ,but 14       Christy Turlington and Julia Roberts are 15        beauti?ful women who don't need retouching to look great.

Both Maybelline and Lancome said they were " disappointed" 16       the ASA's ruling,in?sisting that The Eraser and Teint Miracle were scientifically proven,and pointing to consumer tests which showed users were 17        with their 18       .

It is not the first time their parent company L'Oreal has fallen foul ofBritain's advertising authorities. In 2007,a TV advertisement for its Telescopic mascara        (睫毛骨) 一featuring actor Penelope Cruz ― was 19        for failing to make clear she had been wearing 20        eyelashes.

British Columbia is the third largest Canadian provinces,both in area and population. It is nearly 1. 5 times as large as Texas,and 1       800 miles (1,280km) north from the United States border. It includes Canada's entire west coast and the islands just 2        the coast.

Most of British Columbia is mountainous,with long rugged ranges 3        north and south. Even the coastal islands are the 4        of a mountain range that existed thousands of years ago. During the last Ice Age,this range was scoured by glaciers until most of 5       was 6       the sea. Its peaks now show as islands 7        along the coast.

The southwestern coastal region has a humid mild marine 8       . Sea winds that blow in?land from the west are warmed by a current of warm water that flows 9        the Pacific Ocean. As a result,winter temperatures average above 10        and summers are mild. These warm western winds also carry 11        from the ocean.

Inland from the coast,the winds from the Pacific 12        the mountain barriers of the coast?al ranges and the Rocky Mountains. As they 13        to cross the mountains,the winds are cooled,and their moisture begins to fall as 14       ,On some of the western slopes almost 200 inches (500cm) of rain fall each year.

More than half of British Columbia is 15        forested. On mountain slopes that receive plentiful rainfall,huge Douglas firs rise in towering columns. These 16       giants often grow to be as much as 300 feet (90m) tall,17       diameters up to 10 feet (3m) . More lumber is 18        from these trees than from any other kind of trees in North 19       . Hemlock,red cedar,and balsam fir are among the other trees 20        in British Columbia.
