8、considers himself a farmer because he continually works the land in his research.Indeed,his slim瘦削 but strong结实 body is just like that of millions of Chinese farmers,to whom he has devoted dvtd奉献 his life.袁隆平，被誉为“杂交水稻之父”，是中国最著名的科学家之一。然而，他认为自己是一个农民，因为他研究过程中一直在耕种土地。的确，他瘦削而结实的身体就像千百万中国农民一样，他为他们奉献了一生。Pa

9、ra 1 He considers himself a genius.We consider it polite to make eye contact.We consider it rude to talk loudly in public.Para 2 Yuan Longping was born in 1930 in Beijing.His parents wanted him to pursue a career（work）in science or medicine.However,what concerned him most was that farmers often had

10、poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage td短缺 of food to eat.To tackle tkl应对 this crisis krass危机,he chose to study agriculture and received an education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing.袁隆平，1930年出生于北京。他的父母希望他从事科学或医学方面的工作。然而，最让他担心的是，农民经常收成不好，有时甚至严重缺乏食物。为了应对这一危机，他选择了农业专业，并

11、在重庆西南农学院接受了教育。Para 2Most people are concerned about their parents health.Parents are always concerned about their childrens future.We are concerned about your spiritual welfare心理健康.Para 3_1 After graduating in 1953,he worked as a researcher.Yuan Longping realised that larger fields were not the solu

12、tion.Instead,farmers needed to boost bust提高 yields产量 in the fields they had.How this could be done was a challenging question at the time.Yuan was convinced knvnst相信 that the answer could be found in the creation of hybrid rice.在1953毕业后，他成为了一名研究员。袁隆平意识到，扩大农田面积并不能解决问题。相反，农民需要提高他们已有田地的产量。如何做到这一点在当时是一个

13、具有挑战性的问题。袁隆平相信，可以在杂交水稻的培育中找到答案。Para 3I am convinced(=I believe)that you are cleverer than he.She is convinced that he knows everything.She is convinced that she has benefitted a lot from reading.Para 3 A hybrid is a cross杂交 between two or more varieties of a species.One characteristic krktrstk特点 of

14、hybrids is that they usually attain ten=get a higher yield than conventional knvennl传统 crops.However,whether it was possible to develop a hybrid of self-pollinating plants such as rice was a matter of great debate.The common assumption smpn认为 then was that it could not be done.Through intense ntens不

15、懈 effort,Yuan overcame vkem克服 enormous technical difficulties to develop the first hybrid rice that could be used for farming in 1974.This hybrid enabled farmers to expand kspnd增加 their output atpt产量 greatly.杂交（作物）是一个物种的两个或多个变种之间的杂交。一个杂交种的特点是它们通常比传统作物获得更高的产量。然而，是否有可能培育出自花授粉植物的杂交品种，如水稻，一直是一个有很大争议的问题。

16、当时人们普遍认为这是不可能的。这种杂交水稻使农民极大幅度增加了产量。Para 4 Today,it is estimated estmetd估计 that about 60 percent of domestic dmestk国内的 rice consumption kn smpn消费 in China is comprised kmprazd组成 of crops generated denretd 形成 from Yuans hybrid strains品种,and his strains have allowed Chinas farmers to produce around 200

17、million tons of rice per year.Yuans innovation has helped feed养活 not just China,but many other countries that depend on rice as well,such as India and Vietnam.Because of his invaluable巨大的 contributions,Yuan Longping has received numerous（many）awards both in China and abroad.今天，据估计，中国国内约60%的消费的大米是由袁的

18、杂交品种形成的作物，这些品种使中国农民每年生产约2亿吨大米。袁的创新不仅帮助养活了中国人，也养活了许多其他依赖大米的国家，如印度和越南。由于他的宝贵贡献，袁隆平在国内外多次获奖。Para 4be comprised ofChina is comprised of 56 peoples.Our class is comprised of 30 girls and 20 boys.The family is comprised of 3 people.Para 4depend onThe northers most depend on wheat to live.The southerners m

20、农村),he cares little for celebrity slebrti名气 or money.Instead,he makes large donations捐款 to support支持 agricultural research.考虑到袁的杂交水稻让他变得相当富有，人们可能会认为他会退休，过上闲适的生活。然而，情况远非如此。在内心深处，袁仍然是一个农民。作为一个农村出来的人，他不在乎名气和金钱。相反，他为支持农业研究提供了大量捐款。Para 5given that考虑到Given that you are still young,I forgive you.Given that

21、 you dont have enough money,I will buy a computer for you.Given that they are not experienced,they have done a good job.Para 6What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing不断 ability to fulfil实现 his dreams.Long ago,he envisioned设想 rice plants as tall as sorghum,with each ear of rice a

22、s big as a broom,and each grain ren种 of rice as huge as a peanut.He succeeded in producing a kind of rice that could feed more people at home and abroad.His latest vision vn设想 for“seawater rice”has also become a reality rilti现实,and potentially opened up开辟 nearly one million square kilometres of salt

23、yslti咸的 land盐碱地 in China for rice production.Despite his advanced years年事已高,Yuan Longping is still young at heart and full of vision远见,and everyone is waiting to see what he will dream up next.袁隆平给人们印象最深的是他不断实现梦想的能力。很久以前，他设想水稻植株高如高粱，每穗稻穗大如扫帚，每粒水稻大如花生。他成功地生产了一种可以养活更多国内外更多人的大米。他对“海水稻米”的最新设想也已成为现实，并有可能

24、在中国开辟近100万平方公里的盐碱地用于水稻生产。尽管年事已高，袁隆平的内心仍然年轻，充满了远见，每个人都在等待他的下一个梦想。Para 6What impresses you most about China?What impresses you most about our school?What impresses me most is her handwriting.Para 6despiteDespite old age,she is still learning to drive.He came to the meeting despite his illness.Despite
