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)解員). Peer mediators are usually students with special training in this kind of problem.
Peer mediators help disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use.
Express what you think clearly but don’t say anything to hurt the other. Begin with “I feel” instead of “You always”.
Listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Don’t stop the other person’s words.
Keep looking at the other person’s eyes when he or she is speaking.
Try to see the problems on the other person’s side.
Never put anyone down . Saying things like “You are foolish” makes the talk difficult.
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 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.

解析試題分析:這篇短文中作者主要講述了校園里的同齡調(diào)解員調(diào)解同學(xué)間爭執(zhí)的幾種方法:讓他們交談、認(rèn)真聽別人說、說話時看著別人的眼睛、站在別人的立場上看問題、不要貶低別人、努力找出雙贏的結(jié)果等。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段Peer mediators help disputants to talk in a friendly way.描述,可知同齡調(diào)解員幫助爭執(zhí)者找到雙方都高興的方式交談,故選B。
【小題2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文Saying things like “You are foolish” makes the talk difficult.描述,可知這是在貶低別人,所以劃線詞有“貶低”的意思,故選A。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文Express what you think clearly but don’t say anything to hurt the other. Begin with “I feel” instead of “You always”.描述,可知找到雙贏結(jié)果的第一步是讓爭執(zhí)者們互相交談,故選C。
【小題4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文Saying things like “You are foolish” makes the talk difficult.描述,可知同齡調(diào)解員說“你真傻”這樣的話會讓談話很難進行,也就很難得到雙贏的結(jié)果了,故選D。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段Peer mediators are usually students with special training in this kind of problem.描述,可知同齡調(diào)解員通常是經(jīng)過特殊訓(xùn)練的學(xué)生,故選B。

Making mistakes
It’s good to make mistakes.And here’s why.
First of a11.mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.It’s always good to try new things because when you’re trying new things you are growing.If you never try anything new,how can you improve and develop?The simple answer is,“You can’t.”
Another good thing about mistakes is this:When you are making mistakes,you are learning.Consider this:Edison failed 1 0,000 times— before he perfected the light bulb.When he was asked how it felt to fail that many times,he replied that he hadn’t failed 1 0,000 times,but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally,when you make a mistake,you are much closer to success.Why?Because every time you make a mistake,you are one step closer to success.But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking.Instead,when you try something new,you have to think it over,so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
There is an old saying that goes.“If you are not making mistakes.you are not trying hard enough.’’ So go forward and make mistakes.And learn.And grow.And succeed.
【小題1】According to the passage,when you are making a mistake,that means             .

A.you’re thinkingB.you’re growing
C.you’re falling behindD.you’re wasting time
【小題2】According to the passage,if you try new things,you can           
A.move forwardB.never fail
C.1earn nothingD.make no mistakes
【小題3】From Edison’s story we can learn                 .
A.we are learning when we make mistakes
B.we should spend lots of time making mistakes
C.when we try new thjngs,we should think them over
D.the more mistakes we make,the further we are from success
【小題4】.The passage mainly tells us                .
A.not to make mistakes often
B.how to become successful quickly
C.it’s good to make mistakes
D.how to stay away from mistakes

A boy called Mario had many friends, and he was proud of it. Whoever he met, he would like to show off(炫耀) how popular he was at school.
One day, his grandpa said to him, “Mario, I know that you don’t have as many friends as you think. Many of them are not true to you.”
Mario thought maybe his grandpa was right. However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need. It’s in my room. Wait a minute.” The old man left, soon returning as if(好像) carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there.
“Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible, it will be hard for you to sit on it. However, if you manage to sit on it, you can use the chair’s magic power(力量) to tell who your real friends are.”
Mario took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair.
“Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” said Mario. Then he tried sitting on the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell to the ground. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait,” said Mario, making another try. But again he missed the seat.
Mario didn’t give up. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair. Finally, he did it. This time he felt himself in mid-air.
Then he experienced the magic that his grandpa had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall.

In one way, it may be thought that failure(失敗)is a part of life. In another, failure may be regarded as a step towards success.
The "spider-story" is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(電燈泡) , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spir¬it then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal(目標(biāo)) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: "If I am successful in this, where will it get me?" This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn't be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to "live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, "You can't win them all. “

A.people who fail are not lonely 
B.a(chǎn)nimals can help people sometimes 
C.nature will help us if we are hard-working 
D.confidence is important for one to be successful

A.he liked to do other kinds of work 
B.he invented many kinds of light bulbs 
C.failure may be a way towards success 
D.he was a man of many important inventions 
【小題3】If you are not sure about what success will get you, you'd better         .
A.change your goal B.go on with your goal 
C.not care for that D.work even harder on your goal 
【小題4】It can be learned from the passage that        .
A.one should try not to fail 
B. one's failure is another's success 
C.one should take failures seriously 
D.one should learn lessons from failures
