Thinking
From the text, can you guess how Peking man made fire, from nature or on their own Why
In nature, there are plenty of occasions of
natural fire: volcanic fire may catch up the surrou-
-nding plants, thunder and lightning may cause
fire in forests. Early people could obtain kindling
(引火物) material from a bush fire by means of
using a burning branch of a tree and bring the
kindling to the cave. Keeping the fire burning was
important. One way to keep the fire is to add
firewood and to blow air underneath.
Making fire

假如你是周口店博物馆的导游李华，5月15日来自美国某中学的学生访问团将来参加“看文物，学历史”活动，请你从以下文物中选择一项做详细介绍。

Welcome to the Zhoukoudian caves!
I'm Lihua,your guide for the visit. The archaeological excavation here has yielded the largest known collection of fossils of the extinct Peking man. Now, turn your attention to this setting. It can be deduced that they lived in groups and hunted together.They might have learned to use tools , like the stones or branches of trees to fight against wild animals. Probably stone scrapers have been used to cut up animals and remove skins. At the same time,
we can learned that some wild
animals which has become extinct
could have existed at that time.

Boys and girls,
You are warmly welcome to the Zhoukoudian caves! Hope you will have a nice stay here.
I'm Lihua, your guide for the visit. It is here that some
pre-historic human bones were unearthed, which changed China’s knowledge of its history. Now let's start with this necklace. It suggests that they cared about their appearance and there might have been some kind of get-together. Plus,there being holes in the bones, the necklace must have been strung
up with something like vines. Hence, it
goes without saying that they may have
been able to make full use of the tools
from nature and even get them improved.
亲切得体的问候
