Hey, man,

Good to hear from you again. Your e-mail came in just as I was chatting with another friend, Jeff. I wish I had better advice.

You know, after I left the Shenandoah Valley, my next job was in Rocky Mount. The two other sportswriters on staff, Travis and Jeff, were in their mid-20s too. Honestly, we’d come to Rocky Mount to leave Rocky Mount. We complained about our shop and envied the Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News & Observer. What resources they had! Writers who covered only one team didn’t have to lay out pages. Talk about living the dream. If we could just get to one of those places! Then we could go somewhere else!

Travis, Jeff, and I bonded over our desire to part ways. We ate dinner together and went out to cover our games and came back to help send the final pages to the printer. On the best nights, we’d grab the news editors and play Wiffle ball, laughing and joking until almost sunrise.

We all left there within a year, as intended. Jeff became one of the most well-known NASCAR writers in the country, with almost 200,000 Twitter followers. Now he’s got his own media company that’s doing quite well. In 2017, Jeff and I went to a Charlotte Knights game, and Jeff said something about Rocky Mount that I won’t forget. “I didn’t appreciate it then, but honestly, when I look back, it’s probably the best time I’ve ever had in my career.”

Maybe success isn’t measured in achievements, or “being happy with who you are”. Goals and personal peace are selfish markers, and I don’t mean to imply selfishness is a bad thing, not at all. Selfishness is the axis of humankind, from cavemen to astronauts to saints on earth. Individual accomplishments bring worldwide accomplishments. But all of the accomplishments may not leave you feeling successful, right?

The point is, maybe success is a smaller calculation, something more like what Jeff hinted at. Maybe success is having the wherewithal (所需的物资) to be grateful at the precise moment you have something to be grateful for.

Thank you for writing, old friend.

Mike

When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you?

Parents who take their young children to music, swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day. But it doesn't have to be that way. Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way, especially if you do it through a class or an event. When parent and child become students together, it puts them on the same level, at least for a while.

“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they're doing and what they like，” said art teacher Pyper Dixon.

However, finding something new in common is a big choice for them, especially when kids get involved in sports and other after­school activities. But it's possible to learn a new skill or hobby together.

That's certainly true of Lauren, 11, of Silver Spring, who is in Dixon's class with her father, Dennis. “I was just going to drop her off，” Dennis said, “but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”

Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework. “He always leaves it to the last minute，” she said.“But then he'll turn around to do amazing drawings，” she added, “We have different styles of drawing, so it's interesting to talk it over with him.”

Without the Saturday morning art class, Dennis said, he would be reading the paper, and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer. But they talk more now. “I can't think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely，” he said.

1.The author raises the question at the beginning to ________.

A．expect an answer

B．criticize some parents

C．introduce the topic

D．support his argument

2.What does Dixon think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together?

A．The two will become equal.

B．The two will communicate more.

C．The child will learn art much better.

D．The parent will learn something new.

3.The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means ______.

A．urge　　　　　　    B．help

C．ignore　　　　　　     D．teach

4.We can learn from the text that ________.

A．Lauren used to talk a lot with her father

B．Dennis enjoys studying art with Lauren

C．Lauren dislikes her father's drawings

D．Dennis likes playing computer games
