Unit II: “The Development of Agriculture”

Reading

Before you read the passage, talk about these questions.

1 When did farming first begin in your country?

2 What did farmers first grow in your country?

Text № 1

Agriculture began in the area known as the Fertile Crescent. The area is a hot, dry desert. But it has two of the requirements for farming: good soil and a water supply.

Many early farmers used the Nile River as a water supply. The Nile River floods at the same time every year. Farmers planted crops before the floods. This helped their plants to survive in the desert. Later, farmers created irrigation ditches. They moved water from the Nile River to their fields. They could cultivate crops any time of the year and harvest extra food.

Producing extra food was important. Later, farmers fed animals with it. These domesticated animals became another important part of agriculture.

Read the textbook passage. Then, mark the following statements as true (T) or false (F).

1_ Crops cannot grow in deserts.

2 _ The Nile River floods every year.

3 _ Farmers raised animals before plants.
