（23-24高一下·江苏南京·期中）I strongly believe that it is rather important to be a good listener. And although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago, I have to admit I’m still only an 1 listener.
Effective listening is more than simply 2 the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It’s being 3 to listen to the entire thought of someone 4 waiting impatiently for your chance to respond. In some ways, the way we fail to listen is symbolic of the way we live. We often treat communication as if it were a 5 . It’s almost like our goal is to have no time 6 between the conclusion of the sentence of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own. My wife and I were recently at a cafeteria having lunch, overhearing the conversation around us. It seemed that no one was really listening to one another. 7 , they were taking turns not listening to one another. I asked my wife if I still did the same thing. With a smile on her face she said, “only sometimes.”
Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener 8 you in becoming a more peaceful person. It takes 9 from you. If you think about it, you’ll notice that it takes an enormous amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to 10 what the person in front of you (or on the telephone) is going to say so that you can 11 your responses. But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish, as you simply listen more 12 , to what is being said, you’ll notice that the pressure you feel is off. You will immediately feel more 13 and so will the people you are talking to. They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won’t feel in 14 with you for “air time”! Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person, it will also 15 the quality of your relationships. Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
