问题     If you’re like most people, you【B1】______fake listening many times. You go to history class, sit in the third row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away,【B2】______in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally you come back to earth: the instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you dutifully copy it in your notebook. Every once in a while the instructor makes a【B3】______remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You smile politely,【B4】______that you’ve heard the remark and found it mildly humorous. You 【B5】______guilt that you aren’t paying close attention, but you tell yourself that any material you miss can be picked up from a friend’s notes. Besides, the instructor’s talking about road construction in ancient Rome, and nothing could be more boring. So back you go into your【B6】______little world, only later do you realise you’ve missed important information for a test.
    Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers【B7】______facial cues and can tell if you’re merely pretending to listen. Your blank expression, and the【B8】______look in your eyes are the cues that betray your inattentiveness.
    Even if you’re not exposed, there’s another reason to avoid fakery: It’s easy for this behaviour to become a habit. For some people, the habit is so deeply rooted that they【B9】______start daydreaming when the speaker begins talking on something complex or uninteresting. As a result, they miss lots of【B10】______information. [br] 【B3】
