Question

John and Bobby worked in the same company. Both of them worked very hard. However, several years later, Mr. Ted, the boss of the company, asked Bobby to be market manager. John could not accept the fact. He thought the boss only liked those who flattered(奉承) him. So he decided not to work there.
The boss knew John well and asked John to do one thing before he left. He asked John to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. Soon John returned and said that he found a man selling watermelon. The boss asked him how much the watermelon was. John shook his head.
The boss asked John to wait a moment. Then he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to do the same thing. When Bobby returned, he told the boss that only one person was selling watermelon. It was $1.2 a kilo and $10 for 10 kilos. Each watermelon weighed about 2 kilos. All came from the South two days ago.
John was much moved and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. Chances are in the daily details(细节) and a more successful person sees more and father.

文章通过讲述工作很努力的两个人在同一个公司上班，因提升其中一人而发生的事情。告诉我们机会在平常的细节中，更成功的人看得更多和更远。
1.概括题  由第二段最后一句，第三段和第四段第一句可以推出：John回答不出老板Ted的问题，而Bobby能很清楚地说出答案。
2.细节题  由第一段“John could not accept the fact. He thought the boss only liked those who flattered him. So he decided not to work there.”“ John不能接受事实，他认为老板只喜欢奉承老板的人，因此他决定不在那工作了”可知，排除C。故选A。
