  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.

 Latin America and other poor regions of the world will bear the impact(影响) of climate change, a top official from the organization that shared this year's Nobel Peace Prize said.

  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ,a UN network of scientists,was awarded the prize along with former US Vice President AI Gore for their work warning the pub?lic of the peril of global warming.

  "The results of the IPCC show very clearly the impact of climate change will be much seve?rer for the poorest groups and Latin America is included in that”,said IPCC vice chairman Mo?han Munasinghe of Sri Lanka.

  He said water management issues were likely to be the most pressing problem caused by global warming in Latin America. Dry areas will become much drier and other areas will face increased floods and associated waterbome diseases like malaria and dengue fever.

  He said in spite of the problems faced by Latin America, the region is very practical in dealing with the issue.

  "My sense is that Latin American countries have been much more responsive(反应积极的) to the issue of climate change because they feel much more vulnerable(脆弱的) ,"Munasinghe said. "For North America, particularly the United States, the reaction is more defensive."

  Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva said, "Global warming is a burden(负担)shared by both developing and developed nations. If we are to reduce our "greenhouse" gas e-mission by 100 percent, without richer nations reducing theirs by at least 80 percent, we will still be affected.”

(   ) 5. Why were IPCC and AI Gore awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize?

   A.They were working together to fight global warming.

   B.They stopped the global warming becoming severer.

   C.They warned the public of the impact of climate change on poor regions.

   D.He predicted the influences of developed nations on climate change.

(   ) 6. The underlined word "peril" in the second paragraph probably means .

   A. danger   B. force   C. possibility   D. range 

(   ) 7. We can learn from the last but one paragraph that Mohan Munasinghe seems to       .

   A.be blaming the USA for its reaction to global warming

   B.seek more countries to help them fight global warming

   C.be optimistic about reducing the impact of global warming

   D.look for the real reasons why global warming is so severe 

(   ) 8. Marina Silva believes that       

   A.developing nations should learn from developed nations to fight global warming

   B.developed nations have a bigger role to play in solving the problem of global warming

   C.developed nations have made more contribution to reducing the impact of global warming
