20．Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville，Texas，Mildred Garza never pleased move away．Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children，she politely refused．Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes．That was four years ago．Today all three generations regard the move to a success，giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities．
 No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren．Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing．Even President Obama's mother-in-law，Marian Robinson，has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters．According to a study grandparents com.83 percent of the people said Mrs．Robinson's decision will influence the grandparents in the American family．Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family．
"In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough fast enough to prove we could do it on our own，"says Christine Crosby，publisher of Grate magazine for grandparents．"We now realize how important family is and how important to be near them，especially when you're raining children．"
       Moving is not for everyone．Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices，but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead．Having your grandchildren far away is hard，especially knowing your adult child is struggling，but giving up the life you know may be harder．

4．Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has．There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding．
We experience this tiredness in two ways：as start-up fatigue（疲惫） and performance fatigue．In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult．And the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel．
Such start-up fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones．The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first．
Years ago，I was asked to write 102essays on the great ideas of some famous authors．Applying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical（按字母顺序），never letting myself leave out a tough idea．And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing．Experience proved that the rule works．
Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle．Though willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job right．Its difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and again．In such a situation，I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over．
When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica （《大英百科全书》），I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles．Nothing like this had ever been done before，and day after dat I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them worked．My fatigue became almost unbearable．
One day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved．I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with me．Relived，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep．
An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind．In the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step．Though I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigue．Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing．
Human beings，I believe must try to succeed．Success，then，means never feeling tired．

D．Dealing with the hardest task first．
53．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue？B
A．Before starting a difficult task．
B．When all the solutions fail．
C．If the job is rather boring．
D．After finding a way out．
