Just listen

I think  the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our  16 ，and especially if it’s given from the  17 ．When people are talking，there’s no need to do anything but  18    them．Just take them  19 ．Listen to what they’re saying．Care about it．Most times caring about it is even more important than  20  it．

One of my patients told me that when she  21  to tell her story，people often  22  to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her．Her pain became a story about themselves．  23  she stopped talking to most people．It was just too  24 ．We connect through listening．When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the  25  of attention to ourselves．But when we listen，they know we care．

I have ever learned to  26  to someone crying by just listening．in the old days I used to reach for the tissues （纸巾）  27  I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them  28 ，to take them out of their   29  of sadness and pain. Now I just listen．When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there  30   them．

This  31  thing has not been that easy to learn．It certainly went against everything I had been   32  since I was very young at school．I thought people listened only because they were too  33  to speak or did not know the answer．A loving silence often has far more   34   to connect than the most well-intentioned  35 ．

A major earthquake rocked Haiti at 4:53 pm local time on Jan.12, 2010, killing possibly thousands of people but no official figure has been released so far.

The quake, which struck about 15km (10 miles) south-west of the capital, Port-au-Prince, was quickly followed by two strong aftershocks. In the space of a minute, numerous buildings fell down. A five-story U.N. building was also brought down by the 7.3 magnitude quake, the most powerful to hit Haiti in more than 200 years according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

As night fell, the whole city is in total darkness. You can see thousands of people sitting in the streets with nowhere to go. There are people running, crying, screaming. Describing the earthquake as a "catastrophe", Haiti’s president said the cost of the damage could run into billions.

Haiti became the first independent Caribbean state in the early 19th century. Haiti's location, history and attracting climate once made it a tourist hot place. However, decades of poverty, environmental pollution and violence have left it as the poorest nation in the Americas. It has suffered a lot, including four hurricanes and storms in 2008 that killed hundreds.

1.The great earthquake happened to the _______ of the capital city.

2. What can we infer from the underlined sentence?

3. What’s the meaning of the word in bald “catastrophe”?

4.Which statement about Haiti is NOT true?

On my first trip in the United States , I went to San Antonion . I was on foot . So I went to only three places there : the Alamo , the River Walk , and the Art Gallery . I especially enjoyed visiting the Alamo , a well- known building in America .

The Alamo was erected in about 1722, was later used as a fort(保垒) , and has been kept as a state monument(纪念馆) to the Texan War of Independence against Mexico . During the battle , all of the Texan defenders were killed . I was surprised at the exhibition of rifles , guns , cannons and swords .

I was especially attracted by the paintings of a war . The paintings expressed the feelings of a painter very well . Even thought about 160 years have passed since the Battle of the Alamo , the exhibit is well kept . When I came out after seeing the exhibition , I felt as if I had a victory . The outer wall of the Alamo was destroyed here and there . When I touched the wall , I could feel the damage . After the war , little remained of the Alamo . All of the windows and doors were destroyed . The top part of the gate way disappeared without a trace(遗迹) . I will remember the Alamo forever .

People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up and down America’s main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.

I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began:“ I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.

“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.”

Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”

There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled. When that boy rose to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.

1.According to the first paragraph, ______.

2. From the boy’s speech, we know his grandmother ______.

3.We can infer from the passage that the boy ______.

4.The writer wanted to tell the readers ______.
