5．The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan，I knew I had to help her．She was really small for her age of 12．The boys in my class often （41）C at her and laughed their heads off．She would open a book，pretending to read，with tears dropping on the open page．
All I knew was that she was an orphan （孤儿） from Africa．She had just been adopted by a family in town who （42）A that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids．I looked down at this （43）D girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her．
But how could I help her （44）B in with us？There had to be a （45）B．
One day，when I went into the classroom，I saw that Suzy had （46）A her geography book to a picture of a train，and in her notebook，she had made a（n） （47）C copy．I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming （48）D show．So，I took her to see the art teacher，Miss Parker，and showed her what Suzy had （49）D．"Why，it's wonderful，"said Miss Parker，who then showed us a poster she had painted （50）C the talent show．"I need more of these，but I just don't have enough （51）B．Could you help me，Suzy？"
On the day of the talent show，Suzy's （52）D were everywhere----all over the hall and all over the school，each one different．"And finally，"said Mr．Brown，the schoolmaster，at the end of the show，"we have a （n）（53）A award．I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters．"Everyone nodded．"One of our own students （54）A them．"
I could hear everyone whispering．"Who in our school could draw （55）B well？"Mr．Brown waited a while before saying，"（56）D this student worked so hard on the posters，she deserves a （57）A，too．Our mystery（神秘） artist is our new student----Suzy Khan!"Mr．Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set．"Thank you，"she cried．I （58）B，at that time when I was looking at her excited face，she'd probably never （59）C anything in her whole life．Everyone started to （60）A their hands．Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening．I knew then Suzy was going to be all right．

6．How to be a good listener
Everyone loves a good listener．But there are more reasons to develop the skill of listening than to win hearts or popularity contests．
Listening heals hurts and builds bridges．It gives us the ability to understand and empathize，to view the world from our own point．It can bring us wisdom over and above mere intelligence．But most importantly，it allows us to give the people around us the gifts they crave（渴望）most-a sense of worth．
As it turns out，there's more to good listening than just keeping quiet and allowing someone to speak．Effective listening is actually a combination of two key communication skills：listening and verifying（核实，证实）．
Even when we've managed to hear a person's entire message，we often interpret it wrong-according to our own understanding，experience，or prejudice．
As an effective listener，your goal is to hear and absorb what another has to say in exactly the way they mean it to be understood．Only then can you respond properly．
This is much easier read than done，so here are a few helpful tips：
1．Give the speaker your full attention．
Stop talking and remove all distractions．Turn off the TV，your phone，or computer．Watch your body language．The way you look at the speaker，or the way you stand or sit，makes a huge difference．The right listening body language communicates that we are listening openly and attentively，and puts the other person at ease．
2．Be patient．
Not everyone is a gifted speaker．Some people take longer to find the right word to make a point．Others are too worried to get their message across properly．If necessary，ask the speaker to explain further．It will help him/her speak more exactly and it will help you hear and understand better．
3．Keep your emotions in check．
If what someone is saying creates an emotional response in you，make an extra effort to listen carefully．When we're angry，frightened or upset，we often miss key parts of what is being said．
4．Hold your fire．
Don't jump to conclusions immediately．A good listener doesn't react until comprehension is complete．If you respond in a way that makes the other person defensive，even if you"win"the argument，you may lose something far more valuable．
5．Even if you think you understand，verify．
Never assume you got the message right．Pause，think about what was said，and then ask"Is this what you meant？"or"Am I understanding this right？"
6．Empathize
Take a moment to stand in the other person's shoes，to look at the situation from his/her point of view especially when you're being told something personal or painful，or something you strongly disagree with．The more shoes you are able to successfully stand in within your life time，the less puzzled you'll find your life and relationships to be．
