There are many interesting things to see and to do. You can go to
30、 different kinds of museums, plays and films. You can also go shopping to buy things from all over the world. But there are serious problems in big cities too. The cost of living is high, and there are too many people in some of big cities. Every year many people move to the cities because there are

35、tion to detail is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. “Its amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves“ He says.“Resume(简历)arrive with stains. Some
36、 candidates dont bother to spell the companys name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,“ Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take of these details, why should we trust them with a job?“Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little thi
37、ngs at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees“, says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Franciseo, “We must constantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture.

38、, we should drop them and move to something else“.Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NAST. “The Apollo moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time. “Says Garfield , “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of o
39、ur 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).

45、e late nineteenth century in France. It began with a loosely structured group of painters who got together mainly to exhibit their paintings. Their art was characterized by the attempt to depict light and movement by using pure broken color. The movement began with four friends who met in a cafe; Mo
46、net, Renoir, Siley, and Baxille. They were reacting against the academic standards of their time and the romantic emphasis on emotion as a subject matter.
