题目内容

I had been playing hockey(冰球)for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and   36   got into a game. I went to all the   37   and showed up even when it was so   38   that your ‘breath froze’ and when the other players had decided to stay home. I felt I had   39   enough and thought of quitting.

I finally decided to   40   the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on   41   my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise   42   , so think about yourself in a   43   way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,   44   my shot(投球) accuracy and changing my   45   . 

Once in a match, we   46   our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my  47   place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going   48   . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.

The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little   49   .  But my mom’s words   50   out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my   51   work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the   52   to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had  53   me for this moment.

Won! I won!

The lesson I learned from my mom’s   54   has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I   55   myself.

Freda stayed at home with the kids,   47  I would often see her in the morning 48

I left Freda’s  52   relationship with my clients(主顾). Who am I  53  them? As a matter of fact. I’m   54   an employee - the lowest kind of employee. But I’m also a trusted  55   of the family. I can’t help worrying about what happens around me.

I suppose 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 attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.

One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about them. Eventually, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.

I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.

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