Loving Kindness Is Twice Blessed
I felt gloomy (沮丧的) the other day. The weather had been dark and rainy, and I just didn’t feel so 36 .
As I was sitting at my desk, I 37 it was the birthday of a dear long-time friend — a single, middle-aged woman who has devoted the past 30 years to nursing and loves her 38 .
Knowing that she doesn’t have family in town, I 39 to give her a call. Sure enough, she was on B-shift, 40 to work late into the evening, and wouldn’t have 41 of a birthday this year. As always, 42 , she sounded cheerful and was happy that I 43 .
After I hung up, I couldn’t 44 the feeling that she would really appreciate a little attention on her special day. 45 feeling a little gloomy myself, I tried to put it out of my mind, but as the day passed I couldn’t shake the thought. I 46 gave in, and that evening set off to the hospital with a card, a cheese cake, and some balloons. My friend’s grateful smile and joyful surprise 47 me I’d done the right thing and were a generous 48 for the little effort it had taken.
When I got home, I realized that not only had I cheered up a 49 friend on her birthday, but my own gloomy feelings had also disappeared. Making her day had 50 my own!
Isn’t that the way it is 51 we take the time and make the 52 to do something for someone else? It’s like the little saying, “Loving kindness is twice blessed; it blesses him who gives, and him who 53 .”
Cheering up people on their birthdays isn’t the only thing we can do to make their day. Life constantly presents us with 54 to take an extra step or do a kind deed that will make a difference to 55 . And the wonderful thing is that as we do, it changes things for the better for us too.

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 .”

37. A. friend B. relation C. choice D. leader
38. A. idea B. way C. means D. plan
