24、I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility(责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have three jobs to learn responsibility.
When I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace. In the club, I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 p.m. to 9 p.m. and went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I came known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was not hard to be discouraged.
One night, a woman executive (总经理)from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked. After she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call---Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June, 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me will pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

27、 It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful island. “iPhone, iPhone, iPhone,” my son kept moaning. In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.
Back at home, I’d soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.
But not here. Before we left, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule — no emails, no Facebook, no video games, and no iPhone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it.
_______ I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.
On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells(贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.
The next few days passed in peace.
On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and e-mail.
A week away from all the electronics and life is good.

There were nine wooden blocks(积木)on the desk in front of Rissa.
