问题     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 themselves. 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.
It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, ______.
选项 A、listening is a perfect way to respond to others
B、people keep silent because they don’t know the answer
C、keeping silent means being too shy to speak
D、it is easy to form the habit of listening silently
答案A
解析 推理判断题。选项B意为“交流时人们保持沉默是因为他们不知道怎样回答”；选项C表示“保持沉默是因为太害羞”；选项D表示“养成安静倾听的习惯很容易”，都与原文不符。另由文章第三段第一句及下文作者的思考可知，只有A项正确，与全文主题一致。故选A。
