I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. When people are talking, there's no need to do a   1.    but receive them. Listen to what they're saying. Most times letting someone talk is more i   2.   than understanding it.

When I was teaching in a middle school, one of my s   3.   told me that sometimes when she tried to tell her story, people often interrupted (打斷) to tell her that once had something just like that h   4.  to them. Finally she stopped talking to most people and became very l    5.    . We connect through listening. When we l    6.   , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (安慰) of having someone just listen.

I have n    7.  learned to respond (反應(yīng)) to someone crying by just listening. I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there w   8.    them.

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went a   9.   everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too s    10.     to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power than words.
