题目内容
4.In March 1987,I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence.It was a very proud moment for me.I'd worked hard for over a year to create it,and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success.Shortly after we had mailed 25,000copies,I received one in the mail.But this one wasn't as beautiful as the ones we'd sent out.It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (语法错误) in it.A talented editor had read it carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined.
I felt abashed.A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容).The stories were good,but the errors this woman had found showed that our magazine was far from being excellent.
At first,I was not satisfied with my editor for not having avoided the mistakes,and dissatisfied with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out.Later,I was dissatisfied with myself for not having employed a better editor.
Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistake.I called the talented editor.I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully.Painful as it was,I accepted responsibility for it.
Then I offered her the job of editing our magazine.The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine.
From this I learnt that an upsetting moment can be an opportunity to see the truth,and it can help to prevent one making the same mistakes,and to make"excellence"a reality.

点评 细节理解题可以分为集中型细节理解题和分散型细节理解题.集中型:就文章的单个细节提问,答案在原文中出现的位置一般也位于单句话或几句话中.因为具体细节不同,出题形式千变万化,因题而异.分散型:题目涉及到文章某一段或几段,甚至贯穿全文的各个位置,需要考生寻找文章中的多个细节.请注意,分散型细节理解题并不意味着题目的正确答案出现在文章的不同位置,正确答案往往也是关于文章的某一个句子或细节.只是说文章的干扰选项是关于不同的细节,需要我们在定位的时候阅读某一个区域.
