I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 41 , and talks at the same time, and no one has a 42 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics. 43 a family like mine has made me more 44 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that I?m not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, I?m not 45 to the nodding-your-head-and- 46 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply 47 with the person you?re speaking with, when his story becomes so 48 that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.
I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit 49 called Noah, which works 50 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 51 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I?d tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 52 , but mostly listened.
And had I not spent two months 53 , I might have missed the 54 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noah?s community centers, orphaned（孤儿）at the age of three, whispered after a long 55 , “I love you.”
56 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their 57 and nod and respond at the 58 time—but most of the time I was 59 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that it?s in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 60 is wide open that I?ve learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself. 41.
