Have you heard of the saying, “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well”? The proverb is a piece of advice to make effects towards perfection in whichever job one does. It could be a small task like folding up your clothes, or a major one like organizing a business meeting in your later life.
Perfection just needs paying attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any direction. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease（皺紋）shows on the bed-covers.
There are only two ways to do a job: either sloppily, or well. If you choose the latter, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as (取得…的資格)“your” work deserves your best. Perfection is an attitude that can be developed with just a little effect. It is a habit that is helpful to a person in later life. Let us prove with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay on, for example, wildlife, for a school project. Instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up a reference books, encyclopedias（百科全書）or websites for additional information. You could then go over the finished essay for slips（疏漏）and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?
As Michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it: Trifles（瑣事）go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
【小題1】According to the passage, to achieve perfection is _______.

A．to realize the quality of the work
B．to pay attention to details of one’s work
C．to do as many jobs as possible
D．to form the habit of doing things ahead of time
【小題2】The underlined word “sloppily” in paragraph 3 may mean _______
A．badlyB．patientlyC．carefullyD．slowly
【小題3】What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
A．It is necessary to provide pictures for your essay.
B．Websites are the sources of information you want.
C．Perfection is a habit that promises a good future.
D．You should make much effort to develop perfection.
【小題4】The purpose of writing this passage is to _______.
A．introduce the famous painter Michelangelo
B．a(chǎn)dvise us to do the things that are worth doing
C．explain to us the meaning of the perfection
D．expect us to give our best to our work
