Reading Comprehension 1

This part consists of two passages, each followed by several related questions. For each

question, choose the most appropriate answer based on the text.


Text I 

(1)



 (5)
 
Romulus and Remus, the founders of the great city of Rome according to ancient Roman myth, are twin brothers who were said to have been raised by wolves. They are not alone – there are many myths, legends and fictional stories which depict the rearing of children by wild animals such as wolves and bears. Interestingly enough, such cases were occasionally found to happen in real life. Children who have been isolated from any human contact from a very early age are commonly referred to as feral children.
 


(10) 
In most fictional stories, feral children are depicted as having normal human intelligence and skills and an innate sense of culture or civilization, coupled by an admirable amount of survival instincts. Thus, when they become adults, their integration within human society is relatively easy. These children also seem to possess better strength, intelligence, and morals than normal humans do. Famous examples of such characters include Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli, and Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan.

(20)
 

In reality, however, feral children are seldom this lucky. Historically documented cases regarding feral children show them to be devoid of learning basic human skills such as using a toilet or walking upright. They often display a complete lack of interest in the human activity around them. Furthermore, feral children usually seem mentally impaired and have insurmountable difficulties learning a human language. Unfortunately, once discovered, such children have virtually no chance of ever becoming relatively normal members of society. Often, they die young after spending their remaining lives being passed from one caregiver to another.
 
 

(25)
It is anyone's guess to whether feral children might have been better off left in the wild where they were found. It seems that reality teaches us an important lesson: without a proper upbringing by loving parents or caregivers, no child could grow up to found a great city such as Rome.

    Text II

    Every year, between January and March, millions in Japan pay close attention to the weather forecasts. In contrary to what may be expected, it is not the question of whether or not it will rain tomorrow that most interests them. Their interest lies elsewhere: a meteorological phenomenon known as Sakura Zensen, i.e., the cherry blossom front. As warm weather travels northward up the Japanese archipelago, a glorious shade of pink covers yards throughout the islands. It's time for the Cherry Tree – Sakura – to blossom. However, one must be quick about it – the blossom only lasts ten days.
     
      
    (10)

     
    Japan's admiration towards the flowers of the cherry tree dates as far back as the 8th century A.D., when the social phenomenon known as "flower viewing" migrated there from China. Flower viewing was a social event in which Imperial households, poets, singers and other aristocrats would gather and celebrate under the blossom. In Japan, cherry trees were planted and cultivated for their beauty at least as early as 794.

    Since then, the short-lived yet annual blossom of the cherry tree has become an inseparable part of Japanese culture and heritage. People in Japan view the Sakura tree not only as beautiful, but also as symbolic of many things they hold in highest regard. For instance, with its short and grandiose appearance, it symbolizes life itself, for it, too, is short-lived. This association of the Sakura tree with life and mortality has led to it being depicted in Japanese art, manga, anime, film and song. The cherry blossom is also an omen of good fortune and is an emblem of love and affection.
     
     

    (25) 
    A final interesting fact about the Sakura tree is that is does not – despite its name – produce fruit. Although it is a close relative to the Sakuranbu, or "the cherry-fruit tree", the Sakura itself is fruitless. Its flowers and leaves, however, are indeed edible, and are widely used in Japanese cuisine.
