Nowadays，the increase in the prices of agricultural products is one of the greatest concerns of the people and the government.The government has announced a series of policies(政策) to prevent the prices from rising further.Rising housing price is still a big concern for the people，but since farm products are needed every day，the increase in their prices has made life very difficult for the people.Many people may think the increase will help farmers.But have higher prices of farm products really benefited the farmers?Take the increase in vegetable prices in the first half of this year for example.Though natural disasters such as droughts and spring frost did not cause the prices of farm products to increase greatly—in fact，prices of some products did not increase at all—vegetables have become dearer by as much as 20 percent compared to that of last year.This means only a small part(or even none) of the extra money that city people have paid to buy farm products has gone to the farmers.The extra cost actually has gone to middlemen.As the fact shows，just increasing prices of farm products will have a negative influence on the entire economy.On the one hand，the price increase has created some abnormal phenomena，which hurt farmers' interests.On the other hand，resources will enter the agriculture because of the high price of farm products，which would finally create negative effects on the whole economy.In such a case，it would be better to leave the market to decide the prices instead of raising farm products' prices to protect the interests of farmers.Actually，such a way will be better for farmers in the long run.根据文章内容判断正(T)误(F)。

必修4 Unit 2A 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. 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. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.尽管是中国最着名的科学家之一，袁隆平仍然认为自己是个农民，因为他在田里耕作，进行科学研究。

的确，他被太阳晒得黝黑的脸庞和和手臂，以及他那瘦削而又结实的身躯，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。

袁博士种植的是被称为“超级杂交水稻的”的稻种。
