18、xcept watermelon and then we had to eat it outside behind the dining room so we would not make a mess on the tames inside.

19、inds 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. The deaf boys body started shaking all over and he curled up in a ball
20、 trying to shield and hide his face. He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldnt make any sounds.I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate and into the thick azalea hushes. I uncovered my homemade bow which I had constructed out of bamboo and string. I grabbe
21、d 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 mad I just stood there quiet like, breathing real hard just daring either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.“
22、Youre 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 youre so brave kick him again now,“ I said, shaking like a leaf.

26、e 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.

27、 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.

33、g laws and restated earnings.One area to start catching up on is knowledge. This is true both personally, as executives work out whether or not they are staying on top of internal or external developments, but also at die level of companies. A survey of knowledge management, Knowledge Unplugged, pub
34、lished in 2005 by McKinsey, found that the best-performing companies were far more likely than the worst-performing ones to use creative techniques for acquiring, processing and distributing knowledge-everything from emphasizing team work in product development to holding “idea contests“ and trying

Do you need to move quickly, or is this a subject that needs to be explored in greater depth?And bear in mind that styles of learning
39、 vary. Some people will profit most from informal networking; some enjoy learning in a classroom; others will be able to take advantage of the company intranet. Be flexible in the pursuit of knowledge; it is better to set performance targets, concentrate on meeting them, and allow individuals and th
