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 ( 争执者 ) sit down with peer mediators (同龄调解员). 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.

Kelly Christopher, a student at Lutheran High School in California, US, loves oranges. One day last week, she used a pole(竿子) to pick oranges off trees and collect them in baskets. It's the first time in her 15 years she's picked fruit from trees.

"This is quite different from buying oranges in the supermarket," said Christopher. "Every time I eat an orange, I'll remember this experience."

Christopher was one of the 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards. Before, the fruit would rot on the ground or get eaten by animals. Now the fruit is donated to those who need it.

"It is good for many people", said Randy Stannard, who works for the project. "The homeowner gets fruit picked and more people can have healthy food."

"Two harvests (收成 ) were organized in 2009 and volunteers picked 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of fruit", Stannard said. In 2010, the number was 20,000. This year, Soil Born Farms hopes to get 40,000 pounds. They will harvest every weekend from January to April.

Shannon Galloway, Christopher's science teacher, brought her students into the project this year.

"You're making use of a resource that might be wasted," she said. "I think it's meaningful to everyone."

Donato Frazier, 15, always climbs up a ladder(梯子) and gets on the top of the tree.

"Standing on the treetop is pretty cool," Frazier said. "I can see clearly that many baskets are filled up, and even see that many people are eating healthy fruit because of our volunteer work."

1.Christopher and other students went to pick fruits from real trees because they wanted to _____.

A. have some fresh fruit for themselves

B. make some money by selling fruit

C. provide people with more healthy fruit

D. buy some cheap fruit from their neighbors

2.When was the project set up?

A. In 2008.             B. In 2009.     C. In 2010.     D. In 2011.

3.What will happen to the fruit if they don’t help the homeowners pick it?

A. The fruit will rot or be eaten by small animals.

B. People who need the fruit will come to pick it.

C. The fruit will be used as a resource for research.

D. Homeowners will pick the fruit and sell it.

4.What does the underlined word resource mean?

A. 资源             B. 调查         C. 对策         D.  娱乐

5.How do the students feel about their work?

A. It’s interesting and easy.

B. It’s meaningless and hard.

C. It’s meaningful and exciting.

D. It’s tiring and boring.

Experts（专家）say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger（手指） with his eyes still closed, begging（请求）for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker（虚弱）than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

1.The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because

A. he didn’t have enough sleep

B. it wasn’t time for him to get up

C. he didn’t want to go to school

D. he wanted his mother to wake him up

2. In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may

A. become too weak to sleep　 B. not work well in class

C. go to bed early　　　　　　　 D. be weak in English

3. In this passage “early birds” means persons who

A. get up early　　　 B. get up late

C. sleep less　　　　 D. don’t want to sleep

4.According to the passage, which of the following is right?

A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.

B. Sleeping less means working hard.

C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits.
