“She’s a child,” she told my father.“She’s not any older than seventeen, not possibly.She wears glasses.She’s very thin.She’s not an idiot, that’s not why they were getting rid of her, but she is mentally deranged, maybe, or on the borderline.”

My mother said, “Don’t go over there.”

Nevertheless I went.I did not take Owen because he would tell.I thought I would knock on the door and ask, in a very polite way, if it was all right for me to read the newspapers on the porch.But before I got to the steps the door opened and Madeleine came out with a stove-lid lifter in her hand.She might have been lifting a stove-lid when she heard me, she might not have picked it up on purpose, but I could not see it as anything but a weapon.“What are you come spyin’ around here for? What are you come spyin’ around my house for? You better get out of here.” She started down the steps.Her short hair was not combed, she was wearing a ragged print dress on her flat young body.Her violence seemed calculated, theatrical;you wanted to stay to watch it, as if it were a show, and yet there was no doubt, either, when she raised the stove-lifter over her head, that she would crack it down on my skull if she felt like it—that is, if she felt the scene demanded it.I wished I could take this scene back to tell at home.Stories of Madeleine were being passes up and down the road.Something had annoyed her in the store and she had thrown a box of Kotex at Charlie Buckle.(Lucky she wasn’t holding a can of corn syrup!)Uncle Benny lived under a hailstorm of abuse, you could hear it from the road.“Got yourself a Tartar there, didn’t you, Benny?” people would say, and he would chuckle and nod, abashed, as if receiving congratulations.After a while he started telling stories himself.She had thrown the kettle through the window because there wasn’t any water in it.She had taken the scissors and cut up his green suit, which he had only worn once, at his wedding;he didn’t not know what she had against it.She had said she would set fire to the house, because he had brought her the wrong brand of cigarettes.Early in the spring, before the snow was all gone, he came one day to say that Madeleine had left.

如何把一個復雜的陳述壓縮至18分鐘左右？加洛（Gallo）就這個問題提供了一些小建議，其中包括他所稱的“三的法則”。具體說就是，把大量觀點高度濃縮為三大要點。TED大會上的許多演講高手就是這樣做的。他還指出，即使一篇演講無法提煉到這樣的程度，單是這番努力也一定能改善演講的效果：“僅僅通過這番提煉，你就可以大大增強陳述的創造性和影響力。”

另一個建議與PPT文檔有關。如果你必須使用幻燈片，務必記得要大量運用圖像資源。這種做法同樣有科學依據，它就是研究人員所稱的“圖優效應”(Picture Superiority Effect)：聽到或讀到一組事實三天后，大多數人會記得大約10%的信息。而添加一張照片或圖片后，記憶率將躍升至65%。
