[学 以 致 用]
(2013·江西卷，C)Many people think that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this，or because they are not willing to do the work，that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as“bracketing”．Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires，to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside，stepping_into_his_or_her_shoes. Moreover，since listening well involves bracketing，it also involves a temporary of the other person.Sensing this acceptance，the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way.The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
The phrase“stepping into his or her shoes”in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A．preparing a topic list first
B．focusing on one's own mind
C．directing the talk to the desired results
D．experiencing the speaker's inside world
答案　D　[句意理解题。从上文中的“to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside” 可知，画线部分指的是要理解说话者的内心世界。所以选D项。]
