But there are more reasons to develop the skill of listening than to win hearts or popularity contests. Listening heals

2、 hurts and builds bridges. It gives us the ability to understand and empathize, to view the world from our own point. It can bring us wisdom over and above mere intelligence. But most importantly, it allows us to give the people around us the gifts they crave (渴望 ) mosta sense of worth. As it turns

3、out, theres more to good listening than just keeping quiet and allowing someone to speak. Effective listening is actually a combination of two key communication skills: listening and verifying (确认 ). Even when weve managed to hear a persons entire message, we often interpret it wrongaccording to our

4、 own understanding, experience, or prejudice. As an effective listener, your goal is to hear and absorb what another has to sayin exactly the way they mean it to be understood. Only then can you respond properly. This is much easier read than done, so here are a few helpful tips: 1.Give the speaker

5、your full attention. Stop talking and remove all distractions. Turn off the TV, your phone, or computer. Watch your body language. The way you look at the speaker, or the way you stand or sit, makes a huge difference. The right listening body language communicates that we are listening openly and at

6、tentively, and puts the other person at ease. 2.Be patient. Not everyone is a gifted speaker. Some people take longer to find the right word to make a point. Others are too worried to get their message across properly. If necessary, ask the speaker to explain further. It will help him / her speak mo

7、re exactly and it will help you hear and understand better. 3.Keep your emotions in check. If what someone is saying creates an emotional response in you, make an extra effort to listen carefully. When were angry, frightened or upset, we often miss key parts of what is being said. 4.Hold your fire.

8、Dont jump to conclusions immediately. A good listener doesnt react until comprehension is complete. If you respond in a way that makes the other person defensive, even if you “win” the argument, you may lose something far more valuable. 5.Even if you think you understand. VERIFY. Never assume you go

9、t the message right. Pause, think about what was said, and then ask “Is this what you meant ” or “Am I understanding this right ” 6.Empathize Take a moment to stand in the other persons shoes, to look at the situation from his / her point of viewespecially when youre being told something personal or

29、nd the retreat (退化 ) of the northern grasslands. They usually occur between February and May.
