and twelve million golfers.These figures would not surprise most people.But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles (摩托车).Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’s most popular sports.
According to the Cycle News,many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling.They include black people and white people, businessmen, professionals, and blue-collar workers.Among them, about 55% are businessmen, 3% are in the professions and 9% in government service.
Such information is offered by the Cycle News in the hope of improving the general public’s impression of the sport.The public has tended to believe that all motorcyclists are wild and lawless young men.
There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes.A motorcyclist’s appearance has something to do with this dislike.Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty.On the road, there is little to protect them from mud.For practical reasons, they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars.For the same reason, motorcyclists usually wear dark colors.Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having bad natures.
Probably motorcycles themselves also produce anger and fear.They are noisy, though some trucks are even noisier.But trucks are acceptable because they perform. a needed service.Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an uncomfortable noise just to give their riders pleasure.Roaring along quiet streets, they wake sleeping families and make babies cry.
Yet, as motorcycling becomes more and more common, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport.Perhaps it will someday become as “respectable” as tennis or golf.

I had to learn to say “please”, “sorry”, “thank you”, whether I felt it or not. Once, while buying a ticket to Waterloo, I forgot to say “please”. The man at the counter was offended and would not give me the ticket until I had said “please”. When he handed me the ticket, he said “sorry”, and hurried inside to take the only empty seat.
On the way to the office one morning, a man collapsed in my compartment. At Waterloo, everybody left, but I stayed with him until the ambulance arrived and was an hour late getting to the office. I was told that it was not my job to look after strangers.
I found that many did not even look after their own parents who were old and helpless. In India, it is the duty of the children to look after their parent and old relatives. While serving a meal, my mother always gave food to the elderly relatives and children first and ate whatever was left over. The elderly never felt isolated. They lived with their families and contributed to the happiness of the house.

Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market. Bob Grossley, 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.
“Resume(简历) arrive with stains. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company’s mane correctly. On seeing such a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,” Crossley concludes. “If they cannot take of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”
Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest of 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”.
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(机遇). But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.
A.approachable
B.available
C.attainable
