英語是一種語言，語言運用的最高境界就是四會--聽說讀寫，因此相應的，要耳到口到眼到手到。很多同學在學英語的時候往往只是用了眼睛、或者用了手、用了嘴、用了耳，用了某一個器官，而沒有想到在一個單位時間里面，其實可以五官并用，這樣的話可以提高自己學習英語的效率。更多有關2014高考英語的信息可登錄出國留學網英語頻道，歡迎收藏本站(CTRL+D即可收藏)!
    (2013·江西卷)Many people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this，or because they are not willing to do the work，that most people do not listen well.
    Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing'.Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires，to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside，stepping_into_his_or_her_shoes.Moreover，since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way.The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
    Most of the time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well，what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder，as we listen，how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening，or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.
    It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有療效的).In about a quarter of the patients I saw，surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy(心理療法)，before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon，but chief among them，I believe，was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to，often for the first time in years，and for some，perhaps for the first time ever.
    1.The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
    A.preparing a topic list first

    C.directing the talk to the desired results
