He makes his case in a new book, listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)：“Weve become so accustomed to noise, theres almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man. But its never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us, improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little. During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds becomes a kind of artthe spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono (和服)brushing against the floor.”“Deaf people are very attentive(专注的)in almost every aspect of life. If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language，they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other. They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings. Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them. If we remove the powerful blasts(一阵阵)of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around usof little soft and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking(开裂声). Its astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen. ”我们生活在一个充满噪音的世界里，并且习以为常。但让我们安静下来倾听吧，我们会发现世界是更加美好的，这对我们是有益的。17. What does the phrase “to put a sock in i
