E
Davis has had the habit of starting each day from a bench with a fantastic view of the Oakland, California waterfront (海滨). “Sitting on the bench and watching a sunrise at the waterfront can bring peace and joy to my heart before starting my day,” said Davis.
One day a woman stopped there and said to him, “You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK.” What she said suddenly made Davis realize that he should pay more attention to the people walking past. Since then, he began to smile at people and talk with them. Soon some people began joining him on the bench, sometimes talking about their personal problems and sometimes asking him for advice about jobs and relationships. His openness to listen has won him the name “the Sunshine Listener”. “I'm happy to listen,” Davis said. “I want them to walk away knowing they don't have to feel lonely.”
▲ They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence. “A woman stopped once and said, ‘I just want to sit here with you.’” Davis said. “We looked at the water for some time, and then she thanked me and walked away. She just wanted a moment of peace and to know she wasn't alone. And in that moment, she truly wasn't.”

答案： 70 A 信息回填题。根据设空后的“They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence”可知，他们只是想坐在某人旁边，享受这份沉默。故选项A“有时人们只是坐下来，根本不想说话”符合语境。
@@71 C 推理判断题。根据文中的“His openness to listen has won him the name ‘the Sunshine Listener’”以及“‘I want them to walk away knowing they don't have to feel lonely’”可知，戴维斯乐意倾听他人的生活琐事，让他人知道自己不必感到孤独。由此可推知他是一个有耐心且乐于助人的人。故选C。
@@72 D 标题归纳题。本文讲述了戴维斯习惯每天早晨坐在长椅上观看日出开启自己的一天的故事。后来他对路过的人微笑，与他们交谈，倾听他们的故事，与大家一起静坐享受生活的宁静，让人们知道自己不必感到孤单。他因此赢得了“阳光倾听者”的称号。故选项D“阳光倾听者”最适合做文章的标题。
