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．

同齡調解人幫助吵架者以友好的方式進行溝通。下面就是他們使用的一些方法：
1．把你的想法清楚地表達出來，但不要說傷人的話。你應該以“我覺得……”而不是“你總是……”作為開場白。
2．認真傾聽對方。不要打斷他的話。
3．當對方說話時，要看著他或她的眼睛。
4．盡量站在對方的角度看問題。
5．不要污辱任何人。不要說“你很愚蠢”之類的話，這會讓溝通難以進行。
6．盡量找到能讓雙方都滿意的結果。
同齡調解人從不決定最后的結果或誰是贏家。他們不決定誰對誰錯。相反，他們幫助雙方找到“共贏”的結果?！肮糙A”的結果能讓每個人都感到滿意。
同齡調解人的工作常常取得成功，原因就在于它讓人們進行溝通。而溝通是找到“雙贏”結果的第一步。
