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.

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）. ”

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.

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.

Thirty years ago, I walked into a bakery and asked for some bread to sell. At that time, I was 12 years old.   1  She gave five loaves of bread and wished me good luck.

I took the bread and went out to sell them. It took me all day, but I sold them all.    2   I was the happiest boy in the world as I walked home that evening.

   3   I paid a deposit（定金）on a new bicycle. And then I started my job as a newspaper delivery boy. Soon I could pay the rest of the money for the bicycle and the bike was mine.   4  .

Today I still work in the delivery business. I have a truck to send goods all over the country. I live in a beautiful house, but I don’t ride a bicycle these days. I drive a large nice car.

   5   But because she gave me the start, I have become a successful man. I’d like to show my thanks to her.
