【推荐2】Lion dancing first started in China about 1,500 years ago. It has been part of Chinese traditional culture. It is often seen in different celebrations, for Chinese people believe that lions can bring good luck.
Of course, the lions are not real lions. Usually, in lion dancing, a lion is made up of two dancers in lion costumes. One dancer controls the head. The other controls the tail. Lion dancing is often played by one or more lions. They dance to the beat of a drum. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly-by men. But today, women can also join in it.
Lion dancing is popular around the world now. In America, there are many lion dancing clubs, which attract many young people. Anthony Huang, aged 16, is a member of the Xionshi Dance Club in New York. He says, “Lion dancing is important to me. This tradition really lifts me up.” Amanda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl, is from Lion Dance Me, a club in San Francisco. “Anyone can join in lion dancing. No matter how hard it is for girls, we can do it well,” she says. Lion dancing is a perfect combination (结合) of sport and art. It will surely spread to more places in the world.

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.
6．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 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.
