In the summer time we didn't get much to eat for Sunday supper, except watermelon and then we had to eat it outside behind the dining room so we would not make a mess on the tables inside. About the only time that I would see him was through the high chain-link fence that surrounded the orphanage when we
ate our watermelon outside.
The deaf kid started making all kinds of hand signals, real fast like. "You are a stupid idiot!" said the bigger of the two bullies as he pushed the boy down on the ground. The other bully ran around behind the boy and kicked him as hard as he could in the back. Tile deaf boy's body started shaking all over and he curled up in a ball trying to shield and hide his face. He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn't make any sounds.
I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate and into the thick azalea bushes. I uncovered my home-made bow which I had constructed out of bamboo and string. I grabbed four arrows that were also made of bamboo and they had Coca Cola tops bent around the ends to make real sharp tips. Then I ran back out of the gate with an arrow cocked in the bow and I just stood there quiet like, breathing real hard just daring either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.
"You're a dumb freak just like him, you big eared creep!" said one of the boys as he grabbed his friend and backed off far enough so that the arrow would not hit them. "If you're so brave kick him again now," I said, shaking like a leaf. The bigger of the two bullies ran up and kicked the deaf boy in the middle of his back as hard as he could and then he ran out of arrow range again.
The boy jerked about and then made a sound that I will never forget for as long as I live. It was the sound like a whale makes when it has been harpooned and knows that it is about to die. I fired all four of my arrows at the two bullies as they ran away laughing about what they had done.
I pulled the boy up off the ground and helped him back to his house which was about two blocks down the street from the school building. The boy made one of those hand signs at me as I was about to leave. I asked his sister "If your brother is so smart then why is he doing things like that with his hands?" She told me that he was saying that he loved me with his hands.
Almost every Sunday for the next year or two I could see the boy through the chain-link fence as we ate watermelon outside behind the dining room, during the summer time. He always made that same funny hand sign at me and I would just wave back at him, not knowing what else to do.
On my very last day in the orphanage I was being chased by the police. They told me that I was being sent off to the Florida School for Boys Reform. School at Marianna so I ran to get away from them. They chased me around the dining room building several times and finally I made a dash for the chain-link fence and tried to climb over in order to escape. I saw the deaf boy sitting there on his porch just looking at me as they pulled me down from the fence and handcuffed me. The boy, now about twelve jumped up and ran across San Diego Road, placed his fingers through the chain-link fence and just stood there looking at us. They dragged me by my legs, screaming and yelling for more than several hundred yards through the dirt and pine-straw to the waiting police car. All I could hear the entire time was the high pitched sound of that whale being harpooned a
A.simple and tranquil.
B.monotonous and hard.
C.quiet and enigmatic.

How We Form. First Impression
1.We all have first impression of someone we just met.But why? Why do we form. an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her-aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits(特征)?
2.The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world.Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a person’s eyes, ears, nose or mouth are placed in relation to each other, that it makes you see him or her as different.In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory (感官的) information-- the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming“signals” are compared against a host of (许多 )“memories” stored in the brain areas called the cortex(大脑皮层)system to determine what these new signals “mean”.
3.If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe”.If you see someone new, it says, “new-potentially threatening”.Then your brainstarts to match features of this stranger with other “known” memories.The height, weight, dress, ethnicity(种族特点), gestures, and tone of voice are all matched up.The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “This is new.I don’ like this person: ” Or else,“I am intrigued.”Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures like your other friends; so your brain says, “I like this person.” But these preliminary “impressions” can be dead wrong.
4.When we stereotvpe〔对……产生成见〕people, we use a less mature form. of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic(过分简单化的)and categorical impressions of others.Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people -- their history, interest, values, strengths, and true character -- we categorize them as jocks(骗子), geeks (傻瓜), or freaks(怪人).
5.However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like, If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the person’s character, we use a different,more mature style. of thinking--and the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane(有人清味的).
