Think Many farm animals and pets used to be wild animals. How did they become our friends and helpers? Let's find out what happened. The story of domestication. Long ago, dogs, sheep and cows used to be wild animals. How did they turn into pets and farm animals? Let's find out. Dogs The story of domestication started somewhere in Asia about 15,000 to 23,000 years ago. Back then, people moved across the land. They hunted large animals and often left meat on the ground. This attracted wolves and they probably began following the hunters. Some people started catching baby wolves. They trained these young wolves to hunt with them. With every generation, people kept wolves with friendly genes. Over thousands of years, these pet wolves turned into dogs. 1.Read the article about domestication and find out how animals were domesticated. Sheep. Around 13,000 years ago, people in West Asia began to domesticate animals like sheep. Sheep are small and not very dangerous, and they move in big groups and follow their leader. This makes them easy to domesticate. They became an important source of meat. Later, the farmers also learnt how to make clothes from their wool. Cows. People in West Asia started to domesticate aurochs, a kind of wild ox, sometime after 8,000 BCE. Aurochs are now extinct, but they used to live all over Europe and Asia. They provided people with milk and meat, and they were also good working animals. As with other animals, people chose to keep aurochs with good genes, and the animals slowly turned into the cows we see today. Over many thousands of years, pets and farm animals changed because of human efforts. The story of domestication still continues today. Notes Read the text and answer the following questions! 1.Where did the story of dog domestication start? 2.When did people in West Asia begin to domesticate sheep? 3.Why were sheep easy to domesticate?

Your ideas 4 Discuss the questions below. (1) Why were dogs, sheep and cows domesticated first? Dogs were domesticated first because people left meat on the ground which attracted wolves and some people started catching baby wolves and training them. Sheep were domesticated because they are small, not very dangerous, move in big groups and follow their leader. Cows were domesticated as they provided people with milk and meat and were good working animals. Notes Notes (2) How do these domesticated animals benefit us today, and how would our lives be different without them? Today, domesticated dogs can be companions and help with various tasks. Sheep provide meat and their wool is used for making clothes. Cows offer milk and meat and can assist in agricultural work. Without these domesticated animals, our lives would be different. We might have less sources of food and clothing, and certain tasks might be more challenging without the assistance of working animals. Cross-curricular connection I Biological science Bees are very different from other animals: they live together in huge groups called colonies. Let’s find out more about the life of bees! Queen bee Worker bee Drone雄蜂 (无人机） 1. Read the text about the life cycle of bees and complete the table. The life cycle of bees. The life cycle of bees. Bees live in colonies. Colonies are made of wax cells. There are three types of bees in a colony. This is a queen bee. She is the biggest bee. There is only one queen in a colony. She lays the eggs. This is a drone. Drones are male bees. Their main job is to mate with the queen. This is a worker bee. Worker bees are female. They build the colony and they clean it too. They look after the young bees. They make honey with the things they collect from flowers. From egg to bee. The queen lays eggs in the cells. There are three different kinds of cells. For the new queen, for the drones and for the workers. After three days, the eggs hatch into grubs. The grubs grow a head and a body with two parts. They grow six legs and four wings. Then the young bees come out of the cell. The three types of bees have different development times. It takes about 16 days for a queen bee to grow from an egg to an adult. A drone takes about 21 days and a worker bee takes about 24 days. Understanding the concepts: Match the nouns with their meanings B C A F D E Queen bees • What do they do?
