It often appears that we have more to gain by speaking than by listening. One big advantage of speaking is that it gives you a chance to control others’ thoughts and actions. Whatever your goal is — to have a boss hire you, to   36  others to vote for the person of your  37  or to describe the  38   you want your hair cut ... the key to success seems to be the  39  to speak well.
Another  40  advantage of speaking is the chance it provides to  41   the admiration, respect, or liking of others. Tell jokes, and everyone will think you’re really a  42   man. Tell them all you know, and they’ll be  43  by your wisdom. But keep quiet, and it seems as if you are a  44  person.
Finally, talking gives you the  45  to release (释放) energy in a way that listening can’t. When you’re   46 , the chance to talk about your problems can often help you feel better. In the same way, you can often   47   your anger by letting it out orally. It is also helpful to   48   your excitement with others by talking about it,  49   keeping it inside often leaves you feeling as if you might burst.
While it is true that talking does have many advantages, it’s important to  50   that listening can do good to listeners, too. As you’ll soon read, being a good listener is one good way to  51  others with their problems; and what better way is there to have others   52  you? As for controlling others, it may be true that it’s hard to be persuasive while you’re listening, but your  53  to hear others out will often make them open to your ideas   54 . Listening is often reciprocal (互惠的). “You get what you  55 .”

This morning I awoke from a wonderful night’s sleep. One of those completely satisfying sleep—difficult to explain, but if you’ve ever had one you’ll know what I’m    36    about.
No amount of    37    could buy a better night’s sleep. I truly    38   my blessed rest. It was like a gift from heaven. Interesting to think that Bill Gates or any    39    billionaire you can     40   really couldn’t have had a more satisfying, fulfilling night of sleep.
That started me thinking of other    41   that cost nothing or very little．Like a drink of cold water on a    42   day．Or a warm relaxing    43   when you’re tired．
What could be better than    44    to your favorite music or watching good movies? These are    45    delights—small pleasures．I hope this doesn’t    46    too silly in today’s rough，loud world．I wonder if the new generation can appreciate some such things．
We’re told we   47    the latest model car, or TV or computer to be happy，but it’s all a trick, a marketing move．No sooner do we get these things,    48    we’re looking to replace them    49    a newer car, or TV or computer．
This is not to say that money isn't important. Money can help    50   , clothes and house those in need．Money is neither all good nor all bad—it’s just a   51    of life that can be used for good things or abused(滥用).
I suppose having    52    money worries can give a certain peace of mind that   53   a person to have a good night’s rest. But no amount of money can   54    buy that wonderful, particularly restful night’s sleep that I   55   last night.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s   36 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so   37  that I decided to write an article about her.
I   38  Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk her career. She   39  and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday.

It didn’t take long. My manuscript   45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I   46  in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t   47  the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Dear Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some   50  materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to   51  your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to   52 . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of   53  writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this   54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t
