资源描述
I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 1 , and talks at the same time, and no one has a 2 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics. 3 a family like mine has made me more 4 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that Im not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, Im not 5 to the nodding-your-head-and- 6 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply 7 with the person youre speaking with, when his story becomes so 8 that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 9 called Noah, which works 10 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 11 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, Id tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 12 , but mostly listened.And had I not spent two months 13 , I might have missed the 14 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noahs community centers, orphaned（孤儿）at the age of three, whispered after a long 15 , “I love you.” 16 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their 17 and nod and respond at the 18 timebut most of the time I was 19 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that its in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 20 is wide open that Ive learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself.1.
