Recently, the topic “Chinese people can eat such a sweet melon but can’t do without this grandma” has topped the hot search list. The grandma is 94-year-old Wu Mingzhu, called the “queen of melons”, a melon-growing expert and eminent academician. Among Wu Mingzhu’s classmates was Yuan Longping, who later became the “father of hybrid rice”.

Wu Mingzhu was born in 1930 into a scholarly family in Wuhan city. After her graduation in 1953, she was assigned to work in Beijing. But Wu had already set her eyes on her long-awaited goal. “What I studied was the science of fruit and vegetables. I wanted to work in the fields not in an office,” said Wu.

In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanghai County, Turpan Basin, where working conditions were quite hard. She found that the Hami melon, a rare specialty fruit which was once common in the area, was in danger of becoming extinct if not properly cultivated (种植). Wu spent years visiting over 300 production teams, picking out 44 melon varieties. She overcame a variety of difficulties to produce particularly delicious melons in a scientific way, winning over the local farmers accustomed (习惯的) to folk cultivation methods. Then the promotion area covered most of Xinjiang’s main commodity (商品) areas, and a group of melon-rich villages appeared.

From more than 60 years, Wu Mingzhu and her team has cultivated more than 30 varieties, brought the sweetness of melons to people, and promoted the melon series with Chinese characteristics and a complete breeding innovation system to the world. When first hearing her nickname of “a pearl in the Turpan Basin”, Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the frontline of agriculture. I’m just one of the ordinary ones.”

9. What does the underlined word “eminent” mean in paragraph 1?

A. Strict. B. Generous. C. Senior. D. Outstanding.

10. Why did Wu dislike the job in Beijing?

A. She was attracted by Xinjiang’s fruit.

B. She preferred to research in the fields.

C. She wanted to go back to her hometown.

D. She thought Beijing unsuitable for agriculture.

11. How did Wu persuade the locals to adopt her way of producing melons?

A. By expanding the planting area.

B. By sharing expert knowledge with them.
