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）. ”‎ ‎( ) 50.

A Thoughtful Gift D. A Wonderful Dinner D 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.‎ l Put what you think clearly but don’t say anything to hurt the other.

Don’t stop the other person’s words.‎ l Keep looking at the other person’s eyes when he or she talks.‎ l Try to see the other person’s side of the problem.‎ l Never put anyone down. Saying things like “You are foolish” makes the talk difficult.‎ l 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.‎ ‎( ) 53. What can be done when there is a fight at school?‎ A.
