Thank goodness. We know more than the lines supplied by the
12、 movies in which the therapist knows all and gives wisdom to those who, sitting on a couch, consult with them. Therapists are interested in how the individual, the couple or the family experiences and understands their difficulties. That has to be a starting place. We can be of value if our first po
13、rt of call is to listen, to gradually feel ourselves into the shoes of the other, to absorb the feelings that are being conveyed and to think and then to say some words.The thinking and talking that I do inside the consulting room is at odds with many features of ordinary conversation. Not that it i
14、s mysterious, but it isnt concerned with traditional ways of sharing or identifying. The therapist makes patterns and theorizes, but they are also reflecting on the words that are spoken, how they are delivered and how the words, once spoken, affect the speaker and the therapist themselves.Words can
15、 give voice to previously unknown feelings and thoughts. Thats why its called the talking cure. But just as words reveal so, too, can they obscure, and this gets us to the listening and feeling part of the therapy. Whatever and however the words are delivered, they will have an impact on me as a the
16、rapist. I might feel hopeless, I might feel energized, I might feel pushed away, I might feel demanded of, I might feel pulled to find solutions.The influence of the other is what makes any relationship possible or impossible. A therapist is trained to reflect on how those who consult with them affe
17、ct them. As I try to step into the shoes of the other and then out again, my effort is to hold both those experiences, plus an awareness of my ease or discomfort with what I encounter in the relationship.Feelings are the bread and butter of our work in the consulting room. They inform or modify our
18、ideas and they enable us to find an emotional bridge to what can so hurt for the people we are working with. Along with the more commonly thought-about theories and ideas we have about the psyche, they are an essential part of the therapists toolkit, certainly for me. The talking cure means talking,
19、 yes. It also means the therapist is listening, thinking and feeling.1、The word “obscure” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _.AcancelBclarifyCconfirmDhide2、Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with?APatientsinfluence has been neglected by therapists for too long a time.BThe

22、 I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadnt really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago
23、when a friends mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didnt want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I d

He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His
25、 family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.1、Why we

They can come to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes theyre big and cant be misse
35、d. Other times theyre so subtle that if we arent aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, well always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle (目眩) us into a realizatio
36、n of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypts Mt. Horeb. Id spent the day at St. Catherines Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was windin
37、g up the narrow path, Id occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to t
38、he backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers Id seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm, this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-colored galabia and obviously ol
39、d and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didnt even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round, wire-rimmed glasses.As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, “Hell
40、o,” I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadnt heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail,
41、 looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, “Sometimes you dont know what you have lost until youve lost it.” As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his going down the trail.That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is
42、 less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close. what the man on the trail couldnt have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage (朝圣), and specifically during my hike to the top of Mosess mountain, that Id
43、set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and, ultimately, my life.I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walkin
44、g up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a
45、 warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, thats a miracle.I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are In the moments when we dont,
46、 thats okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they do, they become a little less subtle, until we cant possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives!The key is that theyre everywhere and occur every day for different reasons,
47、in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.1、Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt Horeb in Egypt?AHe was in search of a miracle in his life.BIt was a holy place for a religious person to head for.CHe intended to make arrangements for his life in the future.DHe waited patiently in expectation of meeting a wise person.
