Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process．The instructor asked us to list   36  in our past that we felt   37    of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud．
This seemed like a very  38  process, but there' s always some   39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer．The instructor then   40  that we find ways to   41  people, or take some action to right any wrong doings．I was seriously wondering how this could ever  42   my communication．
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my   43  , I remembered an incident from high school．I grew up in a small town．There was a Sheriff   44  of us kids liked．One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a   45   on him．
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s．o．b．（畜生）．The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious   46 ．Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office．My friends told the truth but I   47 ．No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later．Sheriff Brown's name   48   on my list．I didn't even know if he was still   49 ．Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed．I tried his number．After a few   50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused．"Yes．" "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins．"
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused．“I knew it!” he yelled back．We had a good laugh and a   51  discussion．His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you   52  your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it   53  all these years．I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to   54   all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to   55  the past wrongdoings．

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I    21  an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against   22  of 100, scored 160．No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.
All my life I've been registering scores like that,    23  I have the complacent(洋洋自得的) feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who    24     the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?
For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not   25  have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always fixed it.
Well，then，suppose my auto—repair man   26  questions for some intelligence tests．By doing every one of them I'd prove myself a   27  ．In a world where I have to work with my    28   ，I'd do poorly．
Consider my auto—repair man   29   ．He had a habit of telling  30   ．One time he said. “Doc, a deaf and dumb man   31  some nails．Having entered a store，he put two fingers together on the counter and made  32    movements with the other hand．The clerk brought him a hammer．He   33   his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering．The clerk   34  him some nails．He picked out the right size and left．Well，Doc，the   35  man who came in was blind．He wanted scissors．   36  do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers．He burst out laughing and said，“Why, you fool，he used his    37   and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I've been    38    that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew     39    I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very     40   ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there．

Two students started quarreling at school. One student shouted dirty words at the other, and a fight（打架）began.

What can be done to stop fights like this at school? In some schools, the disputants（争执者）sit down with peer mediators. Peer mediators are students with special training（训练）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（愚蠢）” 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.
