mined lime-stone in Zhoukoudian, came upon some bone fossils and called them “the Dragon Bones”. Zhoukoudian became known as “Dragon Bone Mountain”. Drugstores purchased the bones as a medical ingredient. The news about the “magic bones” drew attention of scientists.
In 1929 these lime-stone caves became world famous with the discovery of a skull and two teeth dating back 200,000 to 500,000 years. They were named Peking Man. But the fossils were lost during World War II. Many of the implements used by those early
humans, and bones of animals they hunted are on display at a museum near the site of the discovery.

1. Why have the English students come to the Zhoukoudian caves?
The students want to find out about how early people lived. There are no such sites in England while the Zhoukoudian caves provide an excellent example of a site where early people lived.
II. Answer the following questions after a careful reading.
3. How did they keep warm?
They constructed the fires in the center of the caves to keep them warm. They might have kept fires burning all winter. They hung animal skins at the cave mouth to keep out the cold.
2. Where did early people live?
Early people lived in caves.
4. What did they use for doors?
The archaeologist thinks they may have used animal skins.
5. What did they eat?
They ate animal meat, such as tigers and bears, and fish from the lake nearby. They also picked fruit when it was ripe.
6. What animals were their most dangerous enemies?
Tigers and bears were their most dangerous enemies.
Their clothes were made from animal skins. They used sharpened stone tools to cut up the animals and remove their skin. Then smaller scrapers were used to clean the fat and meat from them. They had to rub an ample amount of salt inside the skin to make it soft enough. Finally, they would have cut it and sewn the pieces together with needles made of animal bones.
7. How did they make clothes?
Some of the necklace beads were made of animal bones but some were made of shells, which tell us that all the fields around here used to be part of a large shallow lake. Perhaps there was trade between early people or they traveled to the seaside on their journeys.
8. What can we learn from the necklace they wore?
9. What did the earliest people use fire for?
They used fire to keep them warm, cook the food and scare the animals.
