Everyone was very exhausted. Living conditions in the countryside were not very good. One morning as usual, my classmates and I
11、got up at 5 :30 to begin studying. The fog was thickening. It was still a little cold. We were 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 m
12、e with envy. They guessed that he had brought something delicious for me to eat. How excited I was! I ran out of the classroom. My dad was all wet. Obviously, his worn jacket didnt keep him dry. He had walked all the way from my hometown fifteen kilometers away.Dad- I went up to him and lowered my h
13、ead. Thank you! I was choked. Then he raised his hand and tenderly wiped my tears away. Son, cheer up! Just try your best. he said. Then he handed 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 wh
14、ole body. He looked at me with a satisfied smile on his weathered face. Son, I have to catch the six oclock bus home. Take care of yourself. We will come to see you if we have time. Take every chance and study hard. Keep it in mind. Now, I must be off. He said. I wanted him to take my coat but he re
15、fused firmly. Then he turned 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 university in the south. Now, I have a job in a big company. My fathers love will enco

Bus 95 B. Bus 44 C. Bus 77 D. Bus 23CHumans not only enjoy eating ice cream, but they enjoy feeding it to t
21、heir 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
22、by that knowledge but aware of the desire of dog owners to please their companions, Tyznik invented a new frozen treat for dogs that, he says, is more nutritious than ice cream-and as much fun to eat. The product, called Frosty Paws, is made of a liquid byproduct of cheese and milk with the sugar re
23、moved. Frosty Paws also contains refined soy flour, water, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals. It took Tyznic,who has also invented a horse feed (called Tizwhiz) and another dog food (named Tizbits ) , three years to perfect the Frosty Paws formula ( 配方) , and two attempts to commercialize it. Aft
24、er 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 been offered the
25、 product, he says, 89 percent 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 section of supermarkets, comes in packs of three or four cups, costing between $ 1. 39 and $ 1. 79.What would happen if a human shou
26、ld mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream? Nothing, says Tyznik. Its harmless, but frankly, he says, it wont taste very good.28.

29、thing 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. Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates dont bother t
30、o spell the companys name correctly. Once I see a mistake,! 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 details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of some
31、thing larger they work toward. To keep from losing the forest for the trees, says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, we must constantly ask ourselves how the details were working on fit into the larger picture. If they dont, we should drop then and
32、move to something else.Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. The Apollo IImoon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time, says Gaifield, but a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make
33、 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 wit
34、hin our grasp well, large rewards follow.32. According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected because of _.

37、re is the mother of success C. adjustments are the key to the successful completion of any work D. minor mistakes may not be noticed in achieving major goals35.
