I believe listening is a powerful medicine.
It was Sunday . I had the last to see and I got into her room . She was an old woman , sitting on the bed , trying to her socks . Usually I said something like this : “How are you feeling ? The nurse says your son is visiting you today. I believe you are seeing him.”
She me with a serious voice , “Sit down , doctor . This is my story , not yours .”
I was surprised and . I sat down a helped her with the socks . She began to tell me that her only son lived not far from her , she had not seen him for five years . She believed her health problems were worse because of her son . After hearing her story and helping her put on her socks , I asked if there was I could do for her . She her head and smiled . All she wanted me to do was to .
Each story is . Some are clear; others are not. Some are true; others are not , yet all those things do not really . What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard .
Listening to someone’s story costs nothing but it is the key to healing (康复). I often what the woman taught me , and I myself of the importance of stopping , sitting down and truly listening . I the power of listening .

We kids have different ways to get in touch with each other now. And for the old, they’d like to go to the market or 26 each other’s houses, but for the young, we kids needn’t follow the27 of doing so.
The easiest way for us to get in touch and make 28 is to use the Internet services, like QQ. A lot of websites such as www.qq.com have 29 in the last few years and offered such kinds of 30 for free. So we can make friends 31 through the Internet. Maybe we do not 32 all these “friend” well. We add friends only 33 we seem cooler with more friends online.
Then how do we kids keep in touch with friends online? We make it by posting our 34 to each other. At times , “friends”35 “be missing” for months without a message. Is this the friendship in the 21st century?
Of course, using these Internet services is not 36 for saying “ Hi, what’s up?” Some of us have found long-lost classmates and friends 37 these websites. And at times we 38 a time to go to a movie or get together. What’s more, we kids can 39 our friends’ favourite music when we are on the Internet.
Believe it or not, these Internet services will be40 for a while, and it is really a convenient way for us to keep in touch.
