閱讀下面的短文，選擇正確答案。

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：

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．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．

參考譯文

兩個(gè)學(xué)生在學(xué)校吵起來(lái)了，一個(gè)學(xué)生對(duì)另一個(gè)學(xué)生罵了臟話，吵架由此開始。

我們應(yīng)該采取什么措施來(lái)阻止學(xué)校發(fā)生類似的事情呢？在某些學(xué)校，吵架者和同齡調(diào)解人坐到一起。同齡調(diào)解人是受過特殊訓(xùn)練、能處理此類問題的學(xué)生。

同齡調(diào)解人幫助吵架者以友好的方式進(jìn)行溝通。下面就是他們使用的一些方法：

1．把你的想法清楚地表達(dá)出來(lái)，但不要說傷人的話。你應(yīng)該以“我覺得……”而不是“你總是……”作為開場(chǎng)白。

2．認(rèn)真傾聽對(duì)方。不要打斷他的話。

3．當(dāng)對(duì)方說話時(shí)，要看著他或她的眼睛。

4．盡量站在對(duì)方的角度看問題。

5．不要污辱任何人。不要說“你很愚蠢”之類的話，這會(huì)讓溝通難以進(jìn)行。

6．盡量找到能讓雙方都滿意的結(jié)果。

同齡調(diào)解人從不決定最后的結(jié)果或誰(shuí)是贏家。他們不決定誰(shuí)對(duì)誰(shuí)錯(cuò)。相反，他們幫助雙方找到“共贏”的結(jié)果。“共贏”的結(jié)果能讓每個(gè)人都感到滿意。

同齡調(diào)解人的工作常常取得成功，原因就在于它讓人們進(jìn)行溝通。而溝通是找到“雙贏”結(jié)果的第一步。
