问题      Attention to details 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. "It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.
    "Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate 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 . Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the tree." Says Charles Garfield, an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "we must constantly ask ourselves bow the details we’re working on fit into 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 lightly 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. 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. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within ourgrasp well, large rewards follow.

The example of the Apollo Ⅱ moon launch is given to illustrate that ______.
选项 A、minor mistakes can be ignored in achieving major objectives
B、keeping one’s goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be overlooked
C、adjustments are the key to the successful competition of any work
D、failure is the mother of success
答案B
解析 推理题。本题需要弄清作者引用Aopollo登月事例的目的。文章第四段Garfield说，90%的时间里Aopollo都微微偏离轨道，而最终仍可顺利到达月球，这是因为不断地根据目标做了必要的调整，是因为"Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake．”这说明做好小事，做好调整能促使大目标的实现。同时，也说明明确了大目标有助于判断我们所做的事情的重要性，因此选项B“明确了大目标有助于判断
