| Every day, about one-quarter of American adults eat at fast-food restaurants. Cheap, tasty, and convenient, fast food is rich in fat and calories, and it"s low in fiber and nutrients. Thanks in large part to fast food, half of America"s adults and one-quarter of its children are fat, double the rate of a generation ago. In the past two decades, eating habits have changed as people pay more attention to their health. However, many Americans continue to eat red meat (beef in particular) as well as pork, chicken and other foods. Although beer and wine are popular in most areas, many Americans abstain from alcohol, because they think they will become healthier without drinking it. Various kinds of mineral water are commonly available. Eating styles and habits vary between people of different backgrounds, but Americans generally eat with the fork in the hand with which they write. A knife is used for cutting and spreading; otherwise, it is laid on the plate or table. Fast foods, such as chips, fried chicken, hamburgers, and pizza, tend to be eaten with the fingers. There is an obvious difference between what people may do at home or in a fast-food restaurant, and how they act in a more formal restaurant. Because both parents often work outside the home, some Americans are less likely to sit down as a family to eat once the children are older and able to prepare their own food or serve themselves. | |

| Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do - especially in 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 cross out themselves," he says. "Resumes (简历)arrive with faults. Some candidates don"t bother to spell the company"s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I cross out 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? 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, the 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." Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II 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 position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary." Knowing where 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 our grasp well, large rewards follow. | |
