[学 以 致 用]

　　(2017·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
