You can use the following command to get the first address of your wallet (where 'X' your wallet name).
Code:
bitcoin-cli --rpcwallet X getnewaddress

I'm just saying this to save you time from syncing a wallet that contains no funds.  If the first address does not contain any coins, try with the second, third and so on.  Use a block explorer to check. 

If your wallet is loaded and you expected transactions made in 2011, there's no point letting it sync all the way since you're at 2016 already.

Maybe he received dust.  Spammers like picking old addresses to spread their spam.

Thank you Medusah Smiley

I am sorry to be so ignorant but i don't know the wallet name. where does i find it?

and I write this command in the Bitcoin Core console (Window > Console) right?

I hope that a lot of spammers sent a lot of dusts  Cheesy
