Being Watched
We like to see murderers and thieves end up in prison. If they are【46】e______as a consequence of being filmed by security cameras, having their phone calls【47】1______to or their email messages read,【48】m______just be the weapon we have long been looking for in our war against them. Recent【49】s______breakthroughs have also made it possible to solve crimes that took place decades【50】a______, so that just about any story can be worked out from its ending. This, too, is good news; if it is true it means that there really is no hiding place for the wrongdoer,【51】______the police will always get their man, and that crime doesn’t pay.
The worrying thing is, of course, that it is not just the【52】______(crime) who are being watched. All of us have now become the stars of films made in shops, car parks and the high street. Records are kept, and sometimes【53】______(sell) , of the numbers we most often phone, while the emails we like to think of as being private and【54】______(person) are copied and stored by persons unknown. Some say this is the price of freedom【55】f______crime, and that the innocent have nothing to fear.

Attention to the Details
1 Attention to detail 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.
2 "Resumes(簡歷)arrive with stains. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly. Once 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？" 3 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 Francisco,"we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture. If they don't,we should drop them and move to something else. "
4 Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo 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. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary. "Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
5 Too often we believe what accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break (機(jī)遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again,we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.

C) Hard Work Plus Good Luck
D) The Outcomes of Our Efforts
E) The Importance of Attention to Detail
F) Constantly Asking Ourselves about Details
