I suspect that 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 36 , and especially if it’s given from the 37 . When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but 38 them. Just take them   39 . Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than 40 it.
One of my patients told me that when she 41 to tell her story, people often 42 to tell her that they had once had something just like that happen to her. Subtly her pain became a story about themselves. 43 she stopped talking to most people. It was just too 44 . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the 45 of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.
I have ever learned to 46 to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾) 47  I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 48 , to take them out of their 49   of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 50 them.
This 51 thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been 52 since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too 53  to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more 54 to connect than the most well-intentioned 55 .

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

I was working in a store three years ago. I remember one girl who started 36 there a few months after me. I remember always meeting her. I don’t know 37 but for a strange reason we would never talk. We would just see each other and smile.

She would 38 smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the 39 department again. She 40 as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But I had a strange feeling. So I went up to her and asked,“What’s wrong with you?”She answered, “Why?”I said,“I could feel you’re very 41 today and you’re trying to hide it.”

She was shocked(震惊的) as if I had 42 her deepest secret, so we started 43 .

She told me why she was feeling like that and why she was 44 to hide it and we had a good time together. Time 45 and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had changed her 46 in so many ways, but I could not 47 how it had happened. I would just smile, not understanding what she 48 by that.

Today this girl is one of my best 49 . I really don’t know what I would do 50

her. She has been there for me in every possible way a friend could be.

I guess what I’m trying to say is you 51 know when you’re helping yourself. I

52 this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a(n)
