I came to Africa with one purpose: I wanted to see the
world outside the perspective of European egocentricity. I could
have chosen Asia or South America. I ended up in Africa because
the plane ticket there was cheapest.
I came and I stayed. For nearly 25 years I have lived off and
on Mozambique. Time has passed, and I’m no longer young; in【M1】______
fact, I’m approaching to old age. But my motive for living this【M2】______
straddled existence, with one foot in African sand and the another【M3】______
in European snow, in the melancholy region of Norrland in
Sweden that I grew up, has to do with wanting to see clearly, to【M4】______
understand.
The simplest way to explain what I’ve learned from my life in
Africa is through a parable about why human beings have two ears
and only one tongue. Why is this? Probably so that we have to【M5】______
listen twice as much as we speak.
In Africa listening is a guided principle. It’s a principle that【M6】______
has lost in the constant chatter of the Western world, where no one【M7】______
seems to have the time or even the desire to listen to anyone else.
From my own experience, I’ve noticed how much faster I have to
answer a question during a TV interview than what I did 10,【M8】______
maybe even 5, years ago. It’s as if we have complete lost the【M9】______
ability to listen. We talk and talk, and we end up frightening by【M10】______
silence, the refuge of those who are at a loss for an answer.
【M1】
选项
答案
on∧—in
解析
词汇错误。此处off and on是固定词组,意为“断断续续地,时不时地”,在句中作状语,而动词live与其宾语Mozambique之间缺少介词。应补上相应的介词in。
