try this
you can define the size of the passage.
if the length of the passage exceeds the size it will remove the remaining text of the passage.

XML

<asp:ListView ID="listview" runat="server">
       <ItemTemplate>
           <asp:Label ID="lblPassage" Text='<%#   Eval("Passage").ToString().Length >200 ? Eval("Passage").ToString().Substring(0,200): Eval("Passage")   %>'
               runat="server"></asp:Label>
       </ItemTemplate>
   </asp:ListView>
