教材习题点拨 COMPREHENDING Answers to Exercise 1： Name：Yuan Longping Nationality：Chinese Age：81 (as of 2011) Occupation：scientist/farmer Education：graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953 Dream：to export his hybrid rice so that it can be grown around the globe Achievement：in 1974，developed hybrid rice which produces 1/3 more than normal rice Hobbies：listening to violin music，playing mah-jong，swimming and reading Suggested answers to Exercise 2： 1 Even when he was a young man，he knew how important it was to produce bigger rice crops. 2 During his early years，much of the countryside was troubled by hunger. 3 As they use his hybrid rice，farmers are producing twice as much rice as before. 4 He is not interested in buying things for himself or in having a comfortable life. 5 It does not cost anything to dream for something. Suggested answers to Exercise 3： 1 Yuan Longping wanted to increase the rice output because he saw many people go hungry when he was young. 2 I think he is more of a scientist，although he works in the fields like a farmer.His main purpose is not to make a profit for himself but to study agriculture and use that knowledge to improve farming for farmers everywhere.I do not think he is a business man，because his goal is not to make money. 3 Because of his work with developing hybrid rice，it seems that Yuan Longping must be a very patient and careful man.He didn't give up but kept working on his project.He also seems to use his invention to help hungry people around the world. 4 I think Yuan Longping was successful because he kept working and did not give up.He also grew up in a poor family，so he was very motivated to succeed and help other farmers around China. 5 I mostly agree.I think being rich can cause a lot of problems，but it really depends on the life and attitude of the person who is rich.People who are rich certainly have different problems from people who are not. 6 I think developing other hybrid grains would make a great difference in the problem of world hunger.Hybrid grains that can survive in very dry or very hot areas would be very useful in Africa and other areas.Hybrid grains that cannot easily be killed by insects and diseases would be useful
A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE 造福全人类的先驱者 Although he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. 尽管他是中国最著名的科学家之一，袁隆平仍然认为自己是个农民，因为他在田间耕作，进行科学研究。Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for the past five decades. 的确，他那被太阳晒得黝黑的脸和手臂，以及他那消瘦而结实的身躯，就跟其他千百万中国农民一样。过去50年来他一直在努力帮助他们。Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice.袁隆平种植的是被称为“超级杂交水稻”的稻种。 In 1973, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. 1973年他成为世界上第一位种植高产水稻的农业先锋。This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce 20% more of the crop in the same fields. 这种特殊的稻种使得同样的田地多收获20%的产量。Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.如今中国每年生产的稻米60%以上出自这种杂交稻种。 Born in 1930, Yuan Longping graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. 袁隆平出生于1930年，1953年毕业于西南农学院。Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. 从那时起，找到了水稻高产的方法就成为他一生的目标。As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. 年轻时，他就看到了稻田增产的巨大需 求。At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. 当时饥荒是许多农村地区面临的严重问题Yuan Longping searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. 袁隆平要在不增加土地的基础上寻求达到增收稻谷的途径。In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. 1950年中国农民只能生产五千万吨的稻谷。 In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. 而最近的收获中，却生产了将近两亿的稻谷。These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. 这一粮食产量的增加意味着中国仅仅7%的耕地养活了世界22%的人。Yuan Longping is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. 袁隆平现在在印度、越南和很多其它欠发达国家传播提高水稻产量知
