Some candidates dont bother (麻烦 ) to spell the companys name correctly. Once

36、 I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,“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 detail? Absolutely not. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To

37、 keep from losing the forest for the trees“,says Charles Garfield, associate (副 ) professor at the University of California, San Francisco,“We must constantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture.

38、field compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II 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 our goal.

39、sary. “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、ing and learning,they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“reading cannot be taught directly

46、 and schools should stop trying to do the impossible. “ Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and func-tion(作用 ). The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system

Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem to read by reading. 68 The
