Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight began.

What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, disputants(爭執(zhí)者) sit down with peer mediators (同齡調(diào)解者). Peer mediators are usually students with special training in this kind of problems.

Peer mediators help disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use.

1. Express what you think clearly but don't say anything to hurt the other. Begin with "I feel" instead of "You always".

2. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don't stop the other person's words.

3. Keep looking at the other person's eyes when he or she speaks.

4. Try to see the problems on the other person's side.

5. Never put anyone down. Saying things like "You are foolish (愚蠢的)" makes the talk difficult.

6. Try to find a result that makes both people happy.

Peer mediators never decide on the winner. They don't decide who is right or who is wrong. Instead they help disputants to find their own "win-win" result. A "win-win" result can make everyone feel good.

Peer mediators' work is often successful just because it gets disputants to talk to each other. And getting disputants to talk to each other is the first step in finding a "win-win" result.

1. Peer mediators' work is _______________.

A. to teach lessons to disputants

B. to help find a way to make both disputants happy

C. to find out who starts the quarrel

D. to give students some special training

2. What does the underlined phrase "put anyone down" mean in Chinese?

A. 貶低任何人 B. 落后于任何人

C. 奉承任何人 D. 向任何人低頭

3.What's the first step in finding a "win-win" result?

A. Letting disputants be afraid of peer mediators.

B. Letting disputants feel peer mediators are kind.

C. Getting disputants to talk to each other.

D. Making disputants feel good by telling funny stories.

4. During the talk, if peer mediators say "You are a fool.",

A. disputants will realize they are wrong

B. disputants will understand peer mediators better

C. it is easy for peer mediators to decide who is right

D. it is hard for peer mediators to get a "win-win" result

People began making clocks over 500 years ago. The first clocks had only one hand---the hour hand. At a later time the clocks had the minute hand. The first clocks were big and heavy. Some rich people had servants (仆人) to carry the clocks when they were out. Time passed and clocks became smaller.

Bells became a part of some large clocks in cities and towns. They were for people unable to see the clock. Some clocks were in large towers（塔）. Some of them are 400 or 500 years old now. Big Ben in London is a very famous tower clock.

Now many people have alarm clocks (鬧鐘) to wake them up to go to work or go to school.
