Superstition(迷信) has existed for such a long time. Hundreds of years ago it was more a-live because of humans' limited knowledge. Who was the first to walk under a ladder and suffer the bad result? Who hung a horseshoe the wrong way up or broke a mirror and then their luck ran out?

Superstition, somehow, has been with us as a tradition. Human beings have tried hard to find explanations for it.

Friday the 13th is an unlucky day in much of Western Europe, North America, and Aus?tralia. Many people avoid travel and avoid signing contracts on Friday the 13th. Floors in tall buildings often skip from 12 to 14. Such belief has deep roots in Christian religion.

Some people claim that the number is bad luck because thirteen people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was put to death，and with this in mind few hosts will serve dinner with thirteen at the table.

In the Norse mythology(挪威神话) twelve Gods gathered for a feast when a thirteenth, Loke,entered. Loke then,after the meal,killed Balder,who was the most beloved of the gods. Have you ever placed your shoes on the table or on top of your bed? Of course you haven't? they might be dirty. But there is also another reason for not doing it―it means bad luck.

There has been a strange tradition in the West of throwing an old shoe after a person when he or she leaves his or her home. Believe it or not,this is a way of wishing them luck.

In the past this was also a common thing to do when a new couple left their homes to get married. Then,when they were just married, one could wish them good luck by tying an old boot to the back of their car.

Is the number 13 really unlucky, or is it just a myth? There are a handful of athletes who dare to wear the infamous(名声坏的) number. NBA super star Steve Nash wears the number 13 both in Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.

It is said that superstition has been a part of sports since the beginning. Players have their ways of avoiding bad luck.

Germany's mystery English-speaking "forest boy" is said to be having trouble adjusting to normal life. Sources close to the case claim he is having difficulty sleeping in a proper bed and wants to return to the wild. Other creature comforts, such as soap,hot showers, and running water, are also " unsettling" the youngster.

Known only as Ray and believed to be around 17 ，the boy is thought to have spent at least five years sleeping rough in woods south of the German capital. Ray is in good physical shape and had no signs of abuse apart from a small scar that was at least three years old.

He handed himself in to officials on September 5 ，and was carrying a rucksack，tent and sleeping bag. He told police his father had recently died after a fail and he had buried him in a shallow grave. He then walked north for a fortnight for help until he got to the German capital. The boy claimed that his father―identified only as Ryan―had taken him into the woods south of Berlin after his mother, Doreen, died in a car crash.

Now detectives have begun a search for the grave, or any other place where Ryan's body might be lying. The boy is unable to tell them exactly where he buried his father，but claimed he "followed his compass northwards".

In the meantime, they are trying to make Ray a ward of court(受法院监护的人) ，so that an official can be appointed to make important decisions on his behalf. DNA，fingerprint and dental records can also then be handed over to officials so that his records can be checked against those of missing children. A police spokesman confirmed that a search had started for Ryan's grave af?ter the boy said that he was buried under stones "two weeks south of Berlin".

Officials believe the teenager could be British because he speaks English but only basic Ger?man. The British Consul(领事) is also working with police to try to solve the mystery.

Life's greatest joys and its greatest sorrows often come from the relationships we have de?veloped with others. In fact,our existence is quite dependent upon this interaction with other in?dividuals and groups of Individuals.

In our world today，it seems that most people struggle for happiness through pleasant physi?cal surroundings and economic security. These are great, but if there is conflict in human rela?tions ,these things do not bring happiness. Think about the last time you were having an argu?ment or a disagreement with one of your co-workers，your boss，your friend，or a family mem?ber. Even though you might have been having some success in many areas of your life，did you find yourself still feeling some discomfort due to the stress in that particular relationship? On the contrary，you may know people who are happy in severe poverty and/or with physical stress if they have meaningful, pleasant relations with those around them.

Consider the most relationship that you have ever had with any individual. To some degree it probably is or was marked by absolute honesty, deep levels of trust,respect for that person's skills，knowledge，or capabilities，open communication，acceptance of differing views，and lit?tle concern for images.

In an effort to make the relationships we currently have the best that they can be，remember that persuasion usually cannot take place unless there is some sort of close，meaningful connec?tion between the two people involved. The result will be a relationship of respect and progres?sion.

Many of us have difficulty in accepting the faults and weaknesses of others, such as co?workers ,work leaders, family members, or members of our social or religious groups. Our tendency to demand perfection of others can cause us to lose sight that we，ourselves，are less than perfect. Undoubtedly, there are differences among us. Some of us are even unpleasant. Others may have cultural differences that are blocks that affect us. But learning to look for the similarities instead of those things that set us apart，embracing differences，and seeing the best in others rather than the worst will lead to relationships of deep respect and lasting value.
