Question

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(zhēng)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.

【小題5】B解析:
文章介紹了學(xué)校里的同齡調(diào)節(jié)者是如何化解學(xué)校里同學(xué)之間的矛盾和戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題由“6. Try to find a result that makes both people happy.”此處的they指的是disputants，可知
【小題2】推理判斷題由下文Saying things like "You are foolish (愚蠢的)可知是貶低任何人
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題由“getting disputants to talk to each other is the first step in finding a "win-win" result.”可知。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題由“Never put anyone down. Saying things like "You are foolish (愚蠢的)" makes the talk difficult.”可知說(shuō)“你是愚蠢的”只會(huì)使談話更困難。
【小題5】整體理解題通讀文章結(jié)合第二段可知同齡調(diào)節(jié)者是學(xué)校里經(jīng)過(guò)特殊培訓(xùn)的學(xué)生來(lái)調(diào)節(jié)同學(xué)之間的糾紛的。
