【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了当我们谈话时，要多听别人说。大多数时候，让别人说比理解别人的谈话更重要。当他们把要哭诉的都说出来的时候，他们发现我和他们在一起。因此充满关爱的聆听比任何语言都有力量。

1.anything but根本不，绝不。句意：当我们谈话时，除了听他们说，没有必要做任何事情。

2.根据Listen to what they're saying.可知此处强调听别人说。句意：大多数时候，让别人说比理解别人的谈话更重要。综合句意故用important。

3.根据When I was teaching in a middle school,可知作者是一名教师，此处是指他的学生。句意：当我在一所中学教书时，我的一名学生告诉我。

4.happen to发生。句意：人们经常打断她，告诉她一些好像发生在他们身上的事。

5.根据stopped talking to most people可知她不跟大多数人说话，因此比较孤独，此处用形容词lonely。句意：我不跟大多数人说话，变得非常孤独。

6.根据We connect through listening.可知此处是讲listening.句意：当我们听的时候，他们知道我们在关注他们。

7.根据I just listen.可知我只是在听，没有对向我哭诉的人作出反应。句意：我从来没有学会对向我哭诉的人做出反应，只是通过听。

8.根据I just listen.可知我只是在听，说明我和他们在一起。句意：当他们把要哭诉的都出来的时候，他们发现我和他们在一起。

9.go against 违背，反对。句意：由于我小的时候，我总是违背别人叫我做的一切。

10.too +形容词+to太.......而不能。句意：人们听别人讲，只是因为太害羞而不说话，或者不知道答案。
