Bob Crossley, a human-resource expert notices this in the job application that comes across his desk every day. “Its【 C1】 _how ma

Once I see a mistake, I【 C3】 _ the candidate,“ Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?“ Can we pay to

31、o 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, professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must【 C4】 _ask ourselves how the

32、details were working on fit into the large picture.“ Garfield【 C5】 _ this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon【 C6】 _was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time,“ says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the【 C7】_coordinates(坐标

For each question, there are four suggested

35、 answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. 51 During my first seven semesters as a medical student at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, I spent most of my time studying and in classrooms. I rarely spoke with real patients in a hospital setting. Th

36、en last year I started visiting the neurology ward at Dr. Sardjito Hospital. I was gathering data for my thesis, an assessment of the oral contraceptive(避孕的 )pill as a risk factor for ischemic strokes(缺血性中风 ). This type of stroke is the most common and it occurs as a result of an obstruction within

37、a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. At the hospital I would review the medical records of newly admitted stroke patients, then interview them to find out if they were taking the pill. It was a slow process. One cold, rainy evening last October, I was in the neurology ward desperately “hunti

38、ng“ for the final three patients I needed to complete my study. The records showed that there was a 43-year-old stroke patient, whom I will call Ms. A, in the ward. Holding a patient questionnaire, I walked towards her room. I didnt see any doctors or nurses: the ward was quiet. Ms. As room had eigh

39、t beds. Ms. A was lying on bed, clearly still weak as she was still recovering from her recent stroke. There were no relatives or friends with her. Even the bed beside her was empty. I sat down on a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice I introduced myself and asked how she was doing. She softly

40、 replied that she was getting better but the left side of her body was still weak. When I told her that I wanted to gather some additional information from her, she agreed. The questionnaire consisted of three simple yes-or-no questions. After I finished, I prepared to leave so I could go through mo

41、re medical records. Before I could stand up, Ms. A spoke up in her weak voice. She told me that she had three children in primary school, who were staying with a neighbour. “My husband died a year ago and Im the sole breadwinner of my family. We are not rich and my pay as a cleaner is exactly enough

42、 for me and my kids.“ I didnt know what to say. Looking into her eyes, I desperately tried to remember the lessons from a communication skills class I had taken a few years earlier, but my mind was blank. I cursed myself for not paying more attention. Without realizing it, I had begun holding Ms. As

43、 hand. Since I didnt have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. Thats when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any reply from me. She just wanted me to listen. 52 According to the passage, the author_. （ A） was a doctor of Dr. Sardjito Hospital （ B） was receiving stroke trea

44、tment in a hospital （ C） was good at dealing with stroke patients （ D） was collecting information for her paper 53 Which of the following is CORRECT about Ms. A? （ A） She accepted the authors request of interview. （ B） She lived alone without any relatives or friends. （ C） She was the most serious p

45、atient in the hospital. （ D） She lived with three other patients in one room. 53 Type D personality, first defined in the 90s, is characterized by feelings of negativity, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and loneliness. Type D personalities sweat the small stuff and often expect the worst. They h

46、ave trouble making friends and often have low self-esteem. They are tense, chronically angry, and overreact to stressful situations: they also tend to conceal their feelings from others out of fear of rejection. About 20 percent of healthy Americans are Type Ds, as are up to half of people being tre

47、ated for heart problems, says study author Johan Denollet, a psychologist at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. Denollet and his colleagues analyzed 49 previous studies involving more than 6,000 people and found that Type D spells trouble especially for heart patients, who had a greater risk of

48、dying if they had this personality type, compared to non-Ds. “It really adds weight to the argument that this core, hostile personality is a concern or ought to be a concern for people who have it,“ says Barry Jacobs, a clinical psychologist and American Heart Association spokesman. “If you perceive

49、 things in a particularly skewed, negative way, your body will become more reactive over time, and there will be long-term health consequences.“ In previous research, Denollet studied nearly 300 heart patients in a cardiac rehabilitation(心脏病康复 )program and found that 27 percent of those classified as Type D died withi
