The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her，“How do yohear?” She responds，“How do yohear? Is it only with your ears?” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing; it is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.

It' s important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug(萤火虫)." If yomiss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you’ re not evaluating，just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points，instead of something else?

Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning yomight sometimes miss，and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace，and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact，and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third，emotions. What is the person apparently feeling? Now yomight not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.

32. What’s the writer’s purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?

A. To give an example of wise words.

B. To introduce a world-famous musician.

C. To help explain the meaning of listening.

D. To encourage us to fight against disability.

33. What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?

A. It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.

B. People should know words can be used in many different ways.

C. English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.

D. The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.

34. What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?

A. Match. B. Prove.

C. Describe. D. Analyze.

35. Which is the best title of this passage?

A. Speak While YoListen B. Listen Beyond Words

C. Read Between Lines D. Think As YoTalk
