“Two books per visit per week,” said the unsmiling librarian as she handed a library card. Neither the limits nor her attitude   16   me, a 9 – year – old Jewish girl growing up in Berlin in the 1950s. I needed those visits. The books were filled with stories in which, however   17  things seemed, everything   18   well in the end,   19   justice, bravery, and wisdom –--- a striking contrast (对比) to my everyday experiences.

Thirty years later, I, a recent immigrant to the US with a daughter aged 13, stood in front of another librarian. This librarian was   20  .

“What did she say?” I asked my daughter, who already knew a little English and often   21  as my interpreter.

“She said ‘Can I help you?’”

“Ask if they have any books in   22  ,” I requested.

“No, they don’t.” translated my daughter.

While hunting for a job, I was told that the library needed people to   23   books. The interview was short –--- the job didn’t require much English, just a   24   of the alphabet. I started the next day. Every day, I handled hundreds of books whose meaning was   25   from me, mentally dividing them by size and color. One day, while shelving, I found English for Beginners and began studying it on my own.   26   English letters started forming words I could   27  , words combined into phrases, and –--- oh,   28  ! –-- I was reading. It was a slow process, supported by dictionaries and   29  by tears, but it was progress. Afterwards I got promoted to the front desk -----   30   books in and out and answering simple questions.

Every day I receive dozens of people. Sometimes I spot new immigrants. They come from all over the world, so they look different, but the hesitant expression on their faces and their   31   manners are similar. My heart goes out to them,   32   they are people like me. I fully understand the   33   roads on which they have stepped. “They’ve come to the right place,” I think to   34  . Then I smile and say – just the   35   a librarian said to me a long time ago –--- “Can I help you?”

 Just listen

Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our  16  ，and especially if it’s given from the  17  ．When people are talking，there’s no need to do anything but  18    them．Just take them  19  ．Listen to what they’re saying．Care about it．Most times caring about it is even more important than  20  it．

One of my patients told me that when she  21  to tell her story，people often  22  to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her．Her pain became a story about themselves．  23  she stopped talking to most people．It was just too  24  ．We connect through listening．When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the  25  of attention to ourselves．But when we listen，they know we care．

Now I just listen．When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there  30   them．

This  31  thing has not been that easy to learn．It certainly went against everything I had been   32  since I was very young at school．I thought people listened only because they were too  33  to speak or did not know the answer．A loving silence often has far more   34   to connect than the most well-intentioned  35 ．
