Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond. In some ways, the way we fail to listen is symbolic of the way we live. We often treat communication as if it were a race. It's almost like our goal is to have no gaps between the conclusion of the sentence of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own. My wife and I were recently at a cafeteria having lunch, overhearing the conversation around us. It seemed that no one was really listening to one another; instead they were taking turns not listening to one another. I asked my wife if I still did the same thing. With a smile on her face she said, "only sometimes".
Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person. It takes pressure from you. If you think about it, you'll notice that it takes an enormous amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you (or on the telephone) is going to say so that you can fire back your responses. But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish, as you simply listen more carefully to what is being said, you'll notice that the pressure you feel is off. You will immediately feel more relaxed, and so will the people you are talking to. They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won't feel in competition with you for "air time"! Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person, it will also enhance the quality of your relationships. Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
According to the passage, an effective listener should ______.

听力原文： Despite the fact that healthy eating has more publicity than ever before, the sales of chocolate continue to rise.
But why do we like it so much？ It's not enough to answer: "Because it tastes nice." So do other foods. But do you know any other food which some people have to keep closed until their guests arrive？ They know that if they open the chocolate on their own, they'll probably go on eating until they feel slightly ill. And it isn't just the sugar that people like. In the 17th century, when chocolate first arrived here as a drink, people did not put sugar in it because sugar was too expensive.
"Comfort" is a good word to explain why chocolate is more than just another food. It makes people feel safe.
"After a busy day, I like to sit and listen to the radio with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate."
One answer is that, like coffee, cola and tea, chocolate contains the stimulants. This could explain why it is so difficult to stop eating chocolate once you've started. Some people even fear that they won't be able to atop, and this makes them literally afraid of chocolate.
