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.

Read the passage below, and fill in each blank with the most suitable word or phrase from the box. (1pts x 10qs)
Maybe you recycle cans, glass, and paper. Do you know that nature recycles, too? One of the things nature (66) recycles is water. Water goes from oceans, lakes, and rivers into the air. Water falls from the air as (67) rain or snow. Rain and snow eventually find their way back to the oceans. Nature’s recycling program for water is (68) called the water cycle.
The water cycle has four stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation, and runoff. Water on Earth gets stored (69) in oceans, lakes, rivers, ice, and even underground. Water goes from storage into the atmosphere by a process called evaporation. When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid (70) into a gas, called water vapor. Water vapor goes up into (71) the atmosphere. Water returns to the Earth as precipitation in rain or snow by changing into drops of water (72) when / as the air gets cold enough. Clouds are collections (73) of water droplets. Most precipitation falls into the oceans and goes right back into storage.
Water that falls on land always flows from (74) high places to lower ones. This flow is called runoff. Water from land flows into streams. Streams join together to make (75) rivers and eventually the water flows into storage in the oceans. Then the water cycle starts all over again.
