9、ler B. Dragons C. Wolf D. Patriot B My mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say its a gift while others simply think I talk too much. my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. Im very happy and have

10、 no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didnt seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someones feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth

11、 sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? Hes highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but hell sit quietl

12、y and just listen. Even when hes asked a pointed question, hell answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answersthey either didnt feel confident enough to speak

13、up, or they just didnt feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.The first one didnt work for me. Im just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversat

14、ion much more interesting. The second one didnt work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes its so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice.

15、urther.An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I l

16、ove. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet. As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focu

17、sing on quality rather than quantity. Ive found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can

18、 call a success.25. In Paragrap2 the writer mentions her husband mainly _.

21、bout, it was the least of my worries.When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years, they go by fast.” I remember not believing him then,

22、 but looking back, he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasnt ready to leave m

23、y comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like .

30、 its decades-long one-child policy in October and allowed each family to have two children. The country now has about 270 million married women of childbearing age.
