12.Many people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this,or because they are not willing to do the work,that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as‘bracketing'.Bracketing(歸入同一類) includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices(偏見) and desires,to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside,stepping into his or her shoes.Moreover,since listening well involves bracketing,it also involves(包括)a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance,the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished(完成)only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well,what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder,as we listen,how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.
It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有療效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理療法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon,but chief among them,I believe,was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to,often for the first time in years,and for some,perhaps for the first time ever.

解答 BCADA
66 B 語意推測題 his or her shoes隱喻為他或她的內(nèi)心世界.由上文Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires,to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside.和下文Sensing this acceptance,the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.可以得知stepping into his or her shoes的意思是說話者的內(nèi)心世界,故選B.
67 C 大意理解題 第二段中心句Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.接著從兩個方面①An essential part of listening well is the rule known as‘bracketing'.②Moreover,since listening well involves bracketing,it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.來闡述如何善于傾聽.故選C.
68 A 細節(jié)理解題tend to(有…傾向)由第三段Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well,what we are usually doing is listening selectively.(即使我們覺得在自己的生意和社交場合會傾聽,但只是帶著目的有選擇性的聽.)以及…prepared list in mind and wonder,achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.(…頭腦里想好聽哪些事,聽到自己想聽的來盡可能快地結(jié)束話題或轉(zhuǎn)換話題,聽自己滿意的.) 可以得知A選項正確.
69 D 細節(jié)理解題由最后一段There are several reasons for this phenomenon,but chief among them,I believe,was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to,often for the first time in years,and for some,perhaps for the first time ever.(病人被治好的有一些原因,其中主要是病人感覺到許多年來自個兒第一次被傾聽.)得知D選項正確.
