VIII. Read and answer
As far back as 700 B.C, man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romulus and Remus, the legendary
twin founders of Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses her litter,
she seeks a human child to take its place. This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late nineteenth
century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten years old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect,
could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally the doctor won the
boy's confidence and began to work with him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor was able
to get the boy to clothe and feed himself, recognize and utter a number of words, as well as write letters and form words.
1. Who were Romulus and Remus?
2. Which word in the reading means "nonsense"?
3. In what way did the boy communicate when he was found?
4. How long did it take the boy to get used to feeding himself?
5. When did man surely know wolves cared for children?
