●Get the students to work in pairs to finish the passage on the page 40. Davidson Black was a Canadian doctor who organized the excavation that led to the discovery of the bones in the Zhoukoudian caves near Beijing.

He was a specialist in the study of bones and it was his ambition to find and

identify

ones of early humans. His university was aware

of the significance of his work. At first they gave him ample

time to do this research, but later they realized he was prepared to pursue it regardless of his students' needs and his teaching career, so they forbade him to travel there any more. It was his assistant, Pei Wenzhong, who made the discovery of these primitive bones and sharpened stone tools. Somehow he cycled thirty miles to Dr Black because there was no alternative means of transport. Dr Black assumed this discovery would change the way academics thought about early people in China. He knew that his success was almost entirely due to his assistant's systematic hard work. ●
