Прочтите текст , переведите и выполните следующие задания. THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE
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
(каналы).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.
