As far back as 700 B.C, man has talked about children to be cared for by wolves. Romulus and Remus, the legend twin founders of Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that why a she-wolf loses her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place.
This seeming preposterous idea did not become credible until the late nineteenth century when a French doctor actually had found a naked ten-year-old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, or could lie relate to people. He only growled and stared of them. Finally the doctor won the boy's confidence and began to work with them. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor was able to have the boy to clothe and feed himself, recognize and utter a number of word, as well as write letters and form words.

A. When he was three

D. When he was thirty-five
3. What did he do on his first tour to some major European countries?
A. He made so much sightseeing
B. He toured the courts and musical centres C. He toured only
D. He did nothing
4. Why is it possible to name Mozart “A travelling composer”?
A. Because he spent almost a third of his short life travelling.
B. Because he liked travelling a lot. C. Because he never travelled.
D. Because he had good imagination.
