I went to bed at 11pm, it was snowing. I slept deep and my clock didn’t work. It was so cold that I didn’t want to get up again. I called my mother “Mom, my alarm clock is dead, but tomorrow morning I need to get up at six o’clock to catch an early bus . Can you give me a wakeup call?” My mother’s voice was a little dull, “Fine, dear.”
Phone rings pulled me out of my dreams. Mom said from the other end of the line,“It is time to get up, and you need to catch the early bus.” I looked at my watch-5:40.“Didn’t I ask you to wake me up at SIX?” I complained.“Let me have some more sleep, please!”
I got up and ready for the trip. It was a dark, cold morning, and everywhere was filled with snow. As I reached the bus stop, I found a white-haired couple(夫妻) had already been waiting. “You see, you didn’t sleep at all night and got here so early,” the man murmured( 喃喃细语) to his wife.
The bus finally came. The driver was a very young man. He waited just long enough for me to get on before he started the bus again. “Please wait,” I said to the driver. “There are two older people that need to get on, too. It is so cold, and they have waited for a long time. How could you leave them behind?”
Without stopping the bus, the young driver said“That’s OK, they are my parents. This is my first day on the job, so they came to make sure I was all right.”
I couldn’t hold back my tears. My mobile phone rang, incoming was my father’s message, “Sweetie, your mom is not feeling well, she was awake most of the night so that she wouldn’t miss your wakeup call.”
The wakeup call, the older couple, the young driver…reminded me of a Jewish proverb:
“When a father gives something to his son, the son smiles; when a son gives something to his father, the father cries.”

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 (同龄调解员). Peer mediators are usually students with special training in this kind of problem.
Peer mediators help disputants to talk in a friendly way. Here are some of the ways they use.
Express 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 is speaking.
Try to see the problems on the other person’s side.
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 on the winner. They don’t decide who is right or who is wrong. Instead they help disputants 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.

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn’t what I expected. It didn’t look like a school at all! The school has only three rooms, one for Grades1,2 and 3,and the other for Grades 4,5and6. There was a third one for me.
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level(水平). To my surprise, though the test was easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were improving themselves. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their level is becoming higher and higher, and we are good friends now.
I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful to me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.
