I come from one of those families where ...

    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  _________ , and talks at the same time, and no one has a  _________ leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even  _________  with each other on different topics.  _________ a family like mine has made me more  _________  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 ______ to the nodding-your-head-and-__________ -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply  __________ with the person you’re speaking with, when his story becomes so  ___________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 organization called Noah, which works  _________ on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But  _________ you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I’d tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I  _________ , but mostly listened.

And had I not spent two months  _________ , I might have missed the  _________ 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 ______ , “I love you.”

______  that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their  _________ and nod and respond at the  __________ time-but most of the time I was  _________ 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  _________ is wide open that I’ve learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself.
