问题     Interruption, more surely than anything else, kills conversation. The best of talkers interrupt 【C1】______ in conversation. However, the 【C2】______ interruption of the habitual interrupter and the unintentional, conscious interruption of the【C3】______talker are two very different things. All habitual interrupters are totally unaware that they continually【C4】______ speeches of their converses and literally knock their very words back【C5】______their mouths.
    Inability to【C6】______is responsible for one phase of interruption to conversation. It is the 【C7】______eye that tells one’s words have not been heard. " The person next to you must be 【C8】______by my conversation, for it is going into one of his ears and out of the other," said a talker to an inattentive dinner-companion whose absent-minded and【C9】______replies had been snapping the thread of the thought【C10】______it grew intolerable.
    Because it often【C11】______ from kind thought as from arrogance, sometimes we can see a 【C12】______ undesirable phase of interruption takes place when conversationalist is so anxious to prove his quickness of perception【C13】______he assumes to know what you are going to say before you have finished your sentence in your own mind. He puts his【C14】______ on your arguments before you are【C15】______stating them. His interpretation is【C16】______often exactly the opposite of your own as it is【C17】_____. Right or wrong, the explanation serves only【C18】______ interrupt the sequence of thought. This can hardly prove one’s【C19】______; on the contrary, such a habit may be a【C20】______to one’s powers.
