U.S. billionaire Bill Gates went to watch a game of his friend, U.S. teen player Ariel Hsing, at the ExCel Centre while the girl was playing against Chinese Li Xiaoxia.
Gates wore an orange jacket and dark blue baseball cap. He sat in the front row of the spectators’ stand (觀眾看臺) and applauded (鼓掌) for every point Hsing scored.

Hsing was in her third match at London 2012. She had already beaten Mexico’s Yadira Silva and Luxembourg’s Ni Xia Lian.
Hsing is known in the U.S. as a close friend with billionaires Warren Buffett and Gates. She is close enough to call them “Uncle Warren” and “Uncle Bill”.
Buffett met Hsing when she was only 9. Two years later, he invited her to play against his friends. She has returned several times after that. Earlier this year after winning a position on the U.S. team, she took a few points off Buffett and Gates.
When asked whether he has won a point off Hsing, Gates said, “She beat me when she was nine. She has been nice to me.”

I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. When people are talking, there's no need to do a   1.    but receive them. Listen to what they're saying. Most times letting someone talk is more i   2.   than understanding it.

When I was teaching in a middle school, one of my s   3.   told me that sometimes when she tried to tell her story, people often interrupted (打斷) to tell her that once had something just like that h   4.  to them. Finally she stopped talking to most people and became very l    5.    . We connect through listening. When we l    6.   , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (安慰) of having someone just listen.

I have n    7.  learned to respond (反應(yīng)) to someone crying by just listening. I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there w   8.    them.

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went a   9.   everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too s    10.     to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power than words.
