　　兴文县高考英语一轮复习阅读理解训练5

　　阅读理解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.

　　Kareem AbdulJabbar was one of the best basketball players in history. He was the NBA's most valuable player six times and a 19time AllStar. When he retired in 1989, he was the NBA's alltime leading scorer with 38，387 points. That record has still to be broken.

　　After retirement, Jabbar began scoring in the literary world. He has written seven bestselling books. In his new children's book What Color Is My World？，he shines_the_spotlight_on AfricanAmerican inventors whose achievements often went unnoticed. A reporter recently interviewed him in New York City.

　　R: The title of your new book is What Color Is My World？， but the subtitle is The Lost History of AfricanAmerican Inventors. Why do you say it's a lost history?

　　K: AfricanAmerican inventors made some very significant contributions to American life and world culture, but they're not acknowledged. So I think I should put something in the spotlight.

　　R: Why did you choose to present this information in the form of a children's book?

I wanted to put something out there that gave them a broader picture of what was possible.

　　R: How did you combine facts with a good story? How did you decide on which inventors to include?

　　K: The inventors I chose all made significant contributions to American life. So, everybody likes ice cream, but nobody knows about the guy who invented the ice cream scoop(勺子). Everybody likes potato chips, but nobody really knows that a black cook invented potato chips. Things like that get through to people because these are things that are a part of their everyday life. Once they see black people are involved in inventing it, it changes things.
