【题目】阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

Everyone loves a good listener. Communication is important for strong relationships. However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better. The advice below may be of some value.

Give the speaker your full attention

It's important to make the speaker feel heard and valued.

Turn off the TV, put away your phone. Never think about other things when someone is talking. Instead, focus(聚焦) only on what he is saying. Communication will be better if you are able to have a true understanding of the other person's opinions.

Make sure to show you're listening . Nod as the speaker talks, smile and laugh properly. Even, the way you look at the speaker, makes a big difference.

Be patient enough

Do not cut in on the speaker. Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your reply. This allows you to make sure the speaker is done talking.

Avoid hurrying the speaker.Don’t rush the person talking. Never say things like, "Can you get to the point?" This will make it seem like you have nothing to do with the conversation.

Hold your fire

When someone just wants to talk, you don’t need to tell him or her what to do. Try to understand how the person feels and why he does so.

It's never a good idea to listen with judgment.Even if you disagree with his or her actions or opinions, avoid saying he or she is wrong. Otherwise, your communication may end with an argument(争吵). When you “win” the argument, you may lose something far more valuable.

Therefore, it’s necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills.
