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(同齡調(diào)解者). 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:

1) Put 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 talks.

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

5) Never put anyone down. Saying things like “You are foolish” makes the talk difficult. 6) Try to find a result that makes both people happy.

Peer mediators never decide the result or 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.

1.The underlined word “disputants” refers to the students ________.

A. who make peace B. who give in

C. who are lazy D. who quarrel

Do you love holidays but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.

Here are some tips for preventing weight gain and maintaining physical fitness:

Don’t skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack(零食). This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.

Control the amount of food. Use a small plate that may encourage you to “l(fā)oad up (載滿)”. You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist (拳頭).

Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables, or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.

Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy(奶油的)may have large amount of fat. Choose lean meat(瘦肉). Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.

Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk helps to burn off extra calories.（238 words）

Sitting at a desk in a classroom all day can be pretty boring.

The teachers at Ward Elementary in Winston –Salem，North Carolina ，picked up on that and traded in their students’desks for exercise bikes as a part of their Read and Ride program!

The Read and Ride program began five years ago．One classroom has enough bikes for every student in any given class，and throughout the day teachers bring in their students to the room to ride them and read their books．

Even regular classrooms have one bike in the back of each room for students who just can’t sit still to use to help them burn energy in a good way．

Students love being more active!Teachers enjoy seeing students eager to read．Parents appreciate stronger，smarter children．Headmasters value this effective and cost-free program．“Riding exercise bikes makes reading fun for many kids who get frustrated(挫敗的)when they read．Thus，they have a way to release that frustration while they ride，”said Scott Ertl，who started the program．“As we can see，everyone wants to promote literacy and lose weight!But many students who are overweight struggle with sports and activities since they don’t want to always be the last or lose with others watching on the playground．On exercise bikes，however，students are able to exert(發(fā)揮)themselves at their own level—without anyone noticing when they slow down or take a break．”

As it turns out，not only are the bikes helping the students burn calories，they’re also helping them learn better and stay focused．At the end of the school year the school analyzed testing data and found that students that spent more time reading and riding did more than twice as well on reading tests than their fellow students who spent the least time in the program．

1.Why did the teachers start the Read and Ride program?

A．To get the students out of the classrooms．

B．To make the students more active in sports．

C．To read effectively in an active way．

D．To help the overweight students keep fit．

2.According to Scott Ertl，riding exercise bikes___________．

A．is the least expensive way for exercise

B．call benefit overweight students in both ways

C．is the best way to build up students’ body

D．is a good way to avoid being watched by teachers
