Not everyone who enjoys sports likes to take part in them. Many people like watching them on TV or listening to them on the radio. So many people like some forms of indoor recreation, such as watching TV, singing and dancing.

Do you remember the funny Popeye the sailor? He wears the sailor’s uniform, takes a pipe in the mouth and loves to eat spinach.

 Of all the famous cartoon characters, Popeye is at the top. It encourages lots of young people to eat spinach to become as strong as Popeye.

Popeye the character first appeared in the newspaper in 1929. And in 1933 it appeared on the big screen. A survey in 1938 showed that Popeye was the most popular Hollywood cartoon character. Almost everyone loves this super hero. Kids love him because he is strong. Young people love him because he loves his girlfriend Olive. For old people, Popeye is a brave and kind man, and he always helps the poor people.

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, the disputants sit down with peer mediators. Peer mediators are students with special training in this kind of problems.

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

         Put 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 talks.

         Try to see the other person’s side of the problem.

         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 the results of the winner. They don’t decide who is right and who is wrong. Instead, they help the two students 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 people to talk to each other. And getting people to talk to each other is the first step in finding a “win-win” result.

39. What can be done when there is a fight at school?

A. The peer mediators and the disputants talk together.

B. The peer mediators decide the winner.

C. The students themselves decide who is the winner.

D. The two students sit down and listen to the peer mediator.

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

C. to find out who starts a quarrel

B. Think who is right and who is wrong.

C. Listen carefully and look at his or her eyes all the time.

D. Ask the peer mediators as many questions as possible.

A. the other person will know he or she is wrong

B. the other person will understand you better

C. it’s easy for you to decide who is right

D. it’s hard for you to get a “win-win” result

Catherine invited Nelson to dinner. Last term she had been a student in Nelson’s grammar class, but she had to drop the class because her son Kendall was having a problem in school. The problem was that he wasn’t studying. Catherine decided to spend more time watching him.

Nelson was getting to be an old man. He had been teaching for almost 40 years. He could have retired（退休）10 years ago, but he loved teaching. He said his students gave him something to look forward to every day. He planned to teach until he dropped dead in the classroom.

Nelson needed to take a little gift to Catherine to show his thanks for the invitation. He couldn’t think of what would be good. Opening his kitchen cabinet, he found the perfect gift—an unopened box of tea. In a kitchen drawer, he found some fresh-looking wrapping paper. He wrapped the box of tea up well. Feeling proud of himself, he drove over to Catherine’s and rang the doorbell.

He gave his gift. Catherine made a funny face. She said she loved the wrapping paper. Then she unwrapped the tea and made another funny face. “Nelson, I gave this tea to you at the end of last term, and I wrapped it in this paper!”

Nelson’s face turned red. He told himself he had to be more careful with gifts in the future. He said sorry to Catherine. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s the thought that counts（有价值）. ”
