children.Daily Mail reported.There is the case of Ivan Mishukov,a6-vear-old boy from Moscow.Police found him living with dogs in the city's streets in1998.There,he had been begging for two years.Ivan found food to feed the dogs.And in return,the dogs kept him warm and protected him while he slept.When he was saved,he could hardly speak.Luckily,he later joined the army and lived like a normal adult.But not all children who are raised by animals can adapt to human society.In1848,British soldier(军人)Colonel William Sleeman found a little boy living with many wolves in India.He took him to a village,taking care of him and trying to teach him to speak.But nothing worked.The boy still behaved like a wolf.eating raw(生的)meat and refusing to wear clothes,no matter how cold the weather was.About two years later,he got very sick and passed away.Some animals are believed to have strong material instinct(母性本能),which guide them to care for young animals,even those of other species.However,people need to know that children raised by animals may experience long-term negative effects when they enter human society, according to Daily mail48.Ivan Mishukov was raised

water,You want to jump in and save thew,but that might put you in danger.What do you do?Soon this won't be a problem anymore because a robot swimmer called Swumanoid will beon hand to help.Scientists from Japan designed this robot to swim like an Olympic athlete.They mapped a swimmer's body and looked at how every part of the body moves while swimming.The robot can swim just like a human does.Swumanoid can swim the backstroke(仰泳)and the front crawl(自由泳)at a speed of0.64 meters a second,about one-third of the world record speed for these swimming styles,according to the Daily Mail.Motomu Nakashima,head of the team that designed the robot,hopes that robots like Swumanoid can serve as lifeguards in the future.Besides saving lives,Swumanoid can also be used in swimming research.It can test water resistance阻力)and figure out(弄明自)how people swim.The information that is collected could help scientist find ways to improve a swimmer's skills.Unlike human swimmers,robots don't get tired from doing the same stroke(泳姿)again and again,so they do not slow down.Therefore,they can collect information more efficiently(有效地).But the robot is not yet ready to take the place of human lifeguards.Scientists say there are still certain things that need to be improved,such as its motors(引擎)and waterproofing design (防水设计).52.Swumanoid can swim just like a human does because.A.it
