 　　If you're like most people, you've indulged in fake listening many times. You go to history class, sit inthe third row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away,（26）inthe clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally you come back to earth: The instructor writes animportant term on the chalkboard, and you（27）copy it in your notebook. Every once in a while theinstructor makes a   28remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You smile politely, pretendingthat you've heard the remark and found it mildly humorous. You have a vague sense of（29）that youaren't paying close attention, but you tell yourself that any material you miss can（30）from a friend'snotes. Besides, the instructor's talking about road（31）in ancient Rome, and nothing could be moreboring. So back you go into your private little world. Only later do you realize you've missed importantinformation for a test.
　　Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers （32）facial cues and can tell if you'remerely pretending to listen. Your blank expression and the faraway look in your eyes are the cues that（33）your inattentiveness.
　　Even if you're not exposed, there's another reason to avoid fakery: It's easy for this（34）tobecome a habit. For some people, the habit is so deeply rooted that they automatically start daydreamingwhen a speaker begins talking on something（35）or uninteresting. As a result, they miss lots ofvaluable information.
