(单选题)

According to the author, which of the following statements is true? ( )

A.Those who periodically ask questions want to take charge of the conversation.

B.If you give critical opinions, the speaker will be less confident.

C.Good listeners should agree with the speaker.

D.If the speaker creates a comfortable environment, listeners will become confident.

参考答案：D

参考解析：

细节题。根据第一段第四句的Sitting there silently nodding does not provide sure evidence that a person is listening可知C项错误；第二段在说“好的倾听包括让对方建立自尊的互动”，根据本段中心句(第一句)后面内容里的最后两句Good listeners made the other person feel supported and conveyed confidence in them...differences could be discussed openly.可知B项错误，同时可知D项正确；根据第一段第二三句话可知A项错误，时不时问问题是在认真倾听的一种体现，不是倾听者想掌控对话的体现。故本题正确答案选D。
