24、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, disputants(争执者) sit down with peer mediators (同龄调解者). Peer mediators are usually students with special training in this kind of problems.

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

1. Express 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 speaks.

4. Try to see the problems on the other person's side.

5. Never put anyone down. Saying things like "You are foolish (愚蠢的)" makes the talk difficult.

Peer mediators never decide on the winner. They don't decide who is right or who is wrong. Instead they help disputants 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 disputants to talk to each other. And getting disputants to talk to each other is the first step in finding a "win-win" result.

25、   It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers(祖先) had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs’ legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frogs. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more quickly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of night now have a much deeper meaning.

【1】Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A.They needed money to buy medicine. B.The frogs were easy money.

C.They wanted to please the visitors. D.The frogs made too much noise.

【2】What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A.The crops didn’t do well. B.The visitors brought in diseases.

C.There were too many insects. D.The pesticides were overused.

【3】What can we learn from the last sentence of this article?

A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B.The harmony between man and nature is important.

C.Health is more important than money.

D.Good old days will never be forgotten.

26、Farming was considered part of the countryside charm (魅力) in the past. But now, farms have come to the city and they can even be found high up on balconies (阳台).

According to a recent report from Chinese online shopping platform Alibaba, the sales of vegetable seeds in the first quarter, from January to March, on Tmall doubled compared with the same period last year. Sales of products such as nutrient soil (营养土) and gardening tools have increased since April of last year. Out of all the people buying farming tools and seeds, most were born after 1995.

“It has brought me good memories,” added Zhang.

Although Zhang recently moved to a place without a yard, he continues his hobby with a balcony garden. He has bought strawberry and tomato seeds. “Growing fruits and vegetables not only brings delicious food and ensures food security, but it also reminds me of the happy times with my grandpa.” said Zhang.

27、Paper was not made in southern Europe until the year of 1100. Though Scandinavia(斯堪的维尼亚半岛) now makes a great deal of the world’s paper, it had not begun to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make paper from wood. After that, forest countries, such as Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the United States, became important in paper making. Today in Finland, for example, no industry（工业）is bigger than the forest industry. And the paper industry is the most important part of it.

We have had paper cups, plates, and dishes for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. The newest thing made of paper in the world may be a paper house.
