Some six years ago, I was study ing for the college entrance exam in ati on. Everyone
was very exhausted. Living conditions in the countryside were not very good. One morning
as usual, my classmates and I got up at 5 :30 to begin studying. The fog was thickening.
It was still a little cold. Wewere absorbed in our studies. Just then, a familiar figure appeared outside the window and waved his hand to me. It was my father. My heart pounded with excitement. Many classmates turned around and looked at me with envy. They guessed that he had brought somethi ng delicious for me to eat.
How excited I was! I ran out of the classroom. My dad was all wet. Obviously, his worn jacket did n't keep him dry. He had walked all the way from my hometow n fiftee n kilometers away.
"Dad---" I went up to him and lowered my head. "Tha nk you!" I was choked. Then he raised his hand and ten derly wiped my tears away. "S on, cheer up! Just try your best. "he said. Then he han ded me a bag wrapped in several layers of cloth. "Hurry, it is still warm," he said. I removed the cover and ate the food greedily. Warmth flowed through my whole body. He looked at me with a satisfied smile on his weathered face. 'Son, I have to catch the six o'clock bus home. Take care of yourself. We will come to see you if we have time. Take every cha nce and study hard. Keep it in mi nd. Now, I must be off. " He said.
I wan ted him to take mycoat but he refused firmly. Then he tur ned around and walked down the road. The back of his jacket danced in the wind. Very quickly, he disappeared into the fog.
At last, I realized my dream. I studied for four years at a famous uni versity in

Huma ns not only enjoy eati ng ice cream, but they enjoy feed ing it to their pets
as well. Market studies show two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream to their dogs. Unfortunately, says William Tyznik, an expert on animal nutrition at Ohio State University, ice cream is not good for dogs. " It has milk sugar in it," he says, "which
dogs cannot digest very well.
Bothered by that kno wledge but aware of the desire of dog owners to please their
compa nions, Tyznik inven ted a new froze n treat for dogs that, he says, is more nu tritious than ice cream-a nd as much fun to eat. The product, called Frosty Paws, is made of a liquid byproduct of cheese and milk with the sugar removed. Frosty Paws also contains refined soy flour, water, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals. It took Tyznic,who has also inven ted a horse feed (called Tizwhiz) and ano ther dog food (n amed Tizbits ),
three years to perfect the Frosty Paws formula (配方),and two attempts to commercialize it. After losing $ 25 ,000 trying to market the invention himself, Tyznik sold the rights to Associated Ice Cream of Weatervile, Ohio, which makes the product and packages it in cups.
Tyznik claims that Frosty Paws has been tested extensively and that "dogs love it".
Of 1 ,400 dogs that have bee n offered the product, he says, 89 perce nt took it on the
first try. Three out of four preferred it to milk, bone or sausages. The product, which will be available in the ice-cream sect ion of supermarkets, comes in packs of three or four cups, costi ng between $ 1. 39 and $ 1.
79.
What would happen if a humanshould mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream? Nothing, says Tyzn ik. It's harmless, but fran kly, he says, it won't taste very good. 28. Two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream to their dogs because ______ .
A. they can't find any other dog food on the market
B. they take pleasure in doing this
C. ice cream is cheap on the market
D. ice cream is easy to digest
29. For dogs, Frosty Paws _____ .
A. is healthier tha n ice cream
B. tastes much better tha n ice cream
C. is sweeter tha n ice cream
D. looks much more attractive tha n ice cream
30. With the inven ti on of Frosty Paws, Tyznik _____ .
A. became very famous overni ght
B. lost all the money he had
C. made a big fortune
D. provided a froze n food for dogs
31. Huma ns ______ . A. may find the taste of Frosty Paws not so good
B. like the taste of Frosty Paws, too
C. may get pois oned by Frosty Paws
D. ofte n mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream
D
Atte ntio n to details is someth ing every one 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 amaz ing how many can didates elim in ate themselves," he says.
"Resumes arrive with sta ins. Some can didates don't bother to spell the compa ny's n ame correctly. Once I see a mistake,! elim in ate the can didate. " Crossley con cludes," 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 trees," says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Fran cisco, " we must con sta ntly ask ourselves how the details we're
work ing on fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop the n and move to somethi ng else.
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scie ntist at NASA. "The Apollo IImoon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time," says Gaifield, "but a successful la nding was still likely because we knew the exact positi on of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustme nts as n ecessary. Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importa nee of every task we un dertake."
Too ofte n we believe what acco unts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Aga in and aga in, we see that by doing little things with in our grasp well,
large rewards follow.
32. Accord ing to the passage, some job applica nts were rejected because of ______ .
A. failing to give a detailed description of their background in their
applicati on
B. their limited education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume
C. their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clear copy of resume
D. eliminating their names from the applicant list themselves
33. The word "perfect ioni sts" （ Para. 3. Line. 1 ） refers to those who ___ .
A. dema nd others get everyth ing absolutely right
B. know how to adjust their goals accord ing to the circumsta nces
C. are capable of achiev ing perfect results in whatever they do
D. pay too much atte nti on to details only to lose their major goals
34. The example of Apollo II moon launch is give n to illustrate that _______ .
A. keeping one's goal in mind helps in deciding which details can be o verlooked
B. failure is the mother of success
C. adjustme nts are the key to the successful completi on of any work
D. minor mistakes may not be noticed in achieving major goals
35. The best title for this passage would be _______ .
A. Don't Be a Perfectio nist
B. Details and Major Goals
C. Importa nee of Adjustme nts
D. Hard Work Plus Good Luck
