首字母填空
卢克因不擅倾听、不专注而遭他人疏远。一位好友坦诚指出他的问题并给出一些具体建议，他通过实践，最终成为一名更好的倾听者。
1. interested 根据前文“When someone is talking, he doesn't give the person his full attention. ”可知，当有人说话时，卢克并未给予对方全神贯注的关注，说明他真的对这个人不感兴趣。be interested in 意为“对……感兴趣”。
2. listen 根据前文理解可知，人们看得出来卢克对他们所说的不感兴趣，他们不喜欢这样，想要某人能够听他们倾诉并理解他们，故填动词 listen。
3. so 他们无法从卢克那里得到那个，因此便离开了。前后是因果关系，需要填连词 so。
4. One 根据句意理解可知，此处用固定结构“one of + 名词复数”，意思为“……的一个”，注意首字母要大写。
5. problem 卢克的朋友坦诚地指出他的问题。
6. First 根据后文“Second ... Last ... ”可知，此处应该说的是朋友给卢克的第一条建议，故此处答案应该填序数词 First，注意句子首字母要大写。
7. other 根据空格前的“TVs, cell phones”可知，此处应该是说其他的设备，故填 other。
8. wait 根据句意理解可知，卢克应该等待自然的停顿再进行表达，此处需要用动词短语 wait for，意为“等待”。
9. shows 根据前句理解可知，卢克应该仔细琢磨人们的故事，体现出他的理解与关注，本句的主语是 That，动词要用第三人称单数形式 shows。
10. moment 最后，卢克在分享内心想法前稍作停顿，这完全没问题。此处用动词短语 stop for a moment，意思为“停顿一会儿”。
