in kindergartenScience projects waited until the last momentBook reports werent written until the final threatIve been a newspaperman all my adult lifeMy daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in EnglishBut Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a“votech”student（技校学生）Theyre called“motorheads”by the rest of the student bodyWhen a secretary in my office first called him“motorhead”，I was shocked“Hey，hes a good kid，”I wanted to say“And smart，really”I learned later that motorheads are，indeed，differentThey usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothesAnd they dont often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in educationWe who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads haveI began to learn this when I had my car crashedThe cost to repair it was estimated at $800“Hey，I can fix it，”said JodyI doubted it，but let him go ahead，for I had nothing to loseMy son，with other motorheads，fixed the carThey got parts（零件）from a junkyard，nontoasting toaster have been fixedNeighbours and coworkers trust their car repair to himSince that first repair job，a broken airconditioner，a nonfunctioning washer and a nontoasting toaster have been fixedNeighbors and coworkers trust their car repairs to himThese kids are happiest when doing repairsThey joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed worldAnd their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothesI have learned a lot from my motorhead：publishers need printers，engineers need mechanics，and

always had him weeding the garden，carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapersBut when John reached adulthood，he was better off than his childhood playmatesHe had more job satisfaction，a better marriage and was healthierMost of all，he was happierFar happierThese are the findings of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456teenage boys from BostonThe study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not“Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence （能力） and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society，”said George Vaillant，the psychologist （心理学家） who made the discovery“And because they felt good about themselves，others felt good about them”Vaillants study followed these males in great detailInterviews were repeated at ages 25，31and 47Under Vaillant，the researchers compared the mens mentalhealth scores with their boyhoodactivity scores with their boyhoodactivity scoresPoints were awarded for parttime jobs，housework，effort in school，and ability to deal with problemsThe link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharpThose who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people，five times as likely to be well paid and 16times less likely to have been unemployedThe researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned outWorkingat any ageis importantChildhood activities help a child develop responsibility，independence，confidence and competencethe underpinnings （基础） of emotional healthThey also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goalsThe most competent

startup fatigue（疲惫） and performance fatigueIn the former case，we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficultAnd the longer we delay it，the more tired we feelSuch startup fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bonesThe solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job firstYears ago，I was asked to write 102essays on the great ideas of some famous authorsApplying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical（按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough ideaAnd I always started the days work with the difficult task of essaywritingExperience proved that the rule worksPerformance fatigue is more difficult to handleThough willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job rightIts difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and againIn such a situation，I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take overWhen planning Encyclopaedia Britannica （大英百科全书），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articlesNothing like this had ever been done before，and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them workedMy fatigue became almost unbearableOne day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solvedI tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with meRelived，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleepAn hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mindIn the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every stepThough I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigueSuccess was now as exciting as failure had been depressingHuman beings，I believe must try to succeedSuccess，then，means never feeling tired51People with startup fatigue are most likely toAdelay tasksBwork hardCseek helpDaccept failure52What does the author recommend doing to prevent startup fatigue？AWriting essays in strict orderBBuilding up physical strengthCLeaving out the toughest ideasDDealing with the hardest task first53On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue？ABefore starting a difficult taskBWhen all the solutions failCIf the job is rather boringDAfter finding a way out54According to the author，the unconscious mind may help usAignore
