Part2 能力提升
五、阅读理解
In February 1950,Hua Luogeng,a famous Chinese mathematician(数学家),wrote an open letter to all Chinese students studying in the US while he was returning to China.The letter moved many people and showed the strong patriotism (爱国精神) of many overseas (海外的) Chinese scientists who were willing to return to their homeland.
The documentary (纪录片) Return tells the story of many scientists who decided to go back to China in the 1950s.“It not only focuses on their historical backgrounds but also shows their feelings and a deep sense of patriotism,” said Li Zheng,the documentary’s director.
Return shares many little-known stories of these scientists.In Hua’s case,many people don’t know how important his work was in the early development of computer science in China.In March 1950,Hua left his job and returned to China.At a time when few people knew about computers,Hua already understood their influences on scientific progress.The next year,he became the director of the Institute of Mathematics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Li said Hua’s story moved him.“Hua was more than just a mathematician.He had big ideas and was very brave,especially for his time.”

“From hill to hill no bird in flight
From path to path no man in sight ”
—translated by Xu Yuanchong
It doesn’t matter how good you are.You can always be better,even if you’re already the best!This is the lesson we learn from Xu Yuanchong.He is the famous translator who passed away on 17 June 2021,at the age of 100.
Xu began to translate Chinese poetry into English when he was still a teenager.He later learned that Chinese and European languages were very different.Only about half of the words in these languages could be translated word for word.So Xu always emphasized that translators have to be creative.Xu also tried to improve his translations to make sure they are correct and beautiful.Xu’s motto is:Good,better,best.Never let it rest until your good is better.
Xu is considered to be the best,but that hasn’t stopped him from always trying to become better.Most of you are good at English or some other subjects.A few of you are even the best in your class.But all of you know that you can be better and that the more you learn and the harder you study,the better you will become.There is always room for improvement.
