-----Did Mr Black resign his post as principal?

  -----No,________ was telling a lie.

  A. whoever told you that   B. those who told you that

  C. No matter who told you  D. Anyone told you that

 A 句意：Mrs Black 辞去校长职务了吗？没有，不管谁告诉你的，他都在说谎。Whoever引导的主语从句，相当于anyone who。如果选B，则those作主语，谓语应用were。 C项引导让步状语从句，不能引导主语从句；D项错误，应改为Anyone who told you that。

Just listen

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 what happened 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(善意的) 55 .
