His parents wanted him to pursue a career in science or medicine. However, what concerned him most was that farmers often had poor harvests and sometimes even had a serious shortage of food to eat. To tackle this crisis, he chose to study agriculture and received an education at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing. 1. be born in 出生于 pursue 追求 pursue a career 追求事业 concern v.让……担忧 2. poor harvests 歉收 good harvest 丰收 3. a shortage of 缺乏--- food/water shortage食物/用水短缺 choose to do sth 选择做某事 choice n.选择 agriculture n.农业 Para2 Yuan Longping was born in 1930 in Beijing.

Para3 After graduating in1953, he worked as a researcher. Yuan Longping realised that larger fields田 were not the solution. Instead, farmers needed to boost yields提高产量 in the fields they had. How this could be done was a challenging question at the time. Yuan was convinced that the answer could be found in the creation of hybrid rice. A hybrid is a cross交叉 between two or more varieties of a species. One characteristic of hybrids is that they usually attain a higher yield than conventional crops. 1. graduate v.毕业 n.毕业生 graduate from graduate in work as 从事------职业 solution n.解决办法 solve v. challenge n/v.挑战 challenging adj.具有挑战性的 all the time 一直 creation n.创造 create v. creative adj.

A hybrid is a cross between two or more varieties of a species. One characteristic of hybrids is that they usually attain a higher yield than conventional crops. 1953年大学毕业后，他成为一名科研人员。袁隆平意识到，解决问题的办法并不是扩大农田面积，而是农民们需要提高他们已有土地上农作物的产量。如何实现这一目标成为当时一个颇具挑战性的问题。袁隆平确信答案可以在杂交水稻的培育中找到。杂交指的是两个或者两个以上品种的交叉。杂交作物的一个特点就是它们通常能获得比传统作物更高的产量 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 then was that it could not be done. Through intense很大的 effort, Yuan overcame enormous technical difficulties to develop the first hybrid rice that could be used for farming in 1974. This hybrid enabled farmers to expand their output greatly. possible adj.可能的 impossible such as debate 辩论 common adj.普遍的，共同的 difficult adj. difficulty n. be used to do sth be used to doing sth 习惯于做 enable sb to do sth 使某人能够做某事 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 then was that it could not be done. Through intense effort, Yuan overcame enormous technical difficulties to develop the first hybrid rice that could be used for farming in 1974. This hybrid enabled farmers to expand their output greatly. 然而，是否可能开发出水稻等自花授粉作物的杂交品种，仍众说纷纭。当时普遍认为这是不可能实现的。历经千辛万苦，袁隆平攻克了艰巨的技术难题，第一批可应用于农田(大规模)生产的水稻，于1974年开始耕种。这种杂交水稻极大地提高了农民的产量。 Para 3: Yuan conducted research and developed hybrid rice. Para4 Today, it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains品种,and his strains have allowed China’s farmers to produce around 200 million tons吨 of rice per year. Yuan’s innovation has helped feed not just China, but many other countries that depend on rice as well, such as India and Vietnam. Because of his invaluable contributions, Yuan Longping has received numerous awards both in China and abroad. crops 作物，庄稼 allow sb to do sth允许某人做 4. innovation 创新；改革 feed v.供给，饲养 depend on 依靠，依赖 as well 也，还 5. valuable adj.宝贵的 invaluable adj 极宝贵的 valueless adj 没有价值的 Para4 Today, it is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China is comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains,and his strains have allowed China’s farmers to produce around 200 million tons of rice per year. Yuan’s innovation has helped feed not just China, but many other countries that depend on rice as well, such as India and Vietnam. Because of his invaluable contributions, Yuan Longping has received numerous awards both in China and abroad. 据估算，现在中国国内消费的稻米有大约60%来自袁隆平的杂交水稻品种形成的作物，这些品种(形成的作物)让中国农民每年能够生产出大约两亿吨稻米。袁隆平的创新不仅养活了中国，也养活了以稻米为主食的许多其他国家，如印度和越南。袁隆平凭其不可估量的贡献，在国内外获奖无数。 Para 4: Yuan’s innovation has helped to feed more people . Para5 Given鉴于 that Yuan’s hybrids have made him quite wealthy, one might think he would retire to a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case远非如此. Deep down在内心深处, Yuan is still very much a farmer at heart. As a man of the soil, he cares little for celebrity or money. Instead, he makes large donations to support agricultural research. wealthy adj.富有的 retire v.退休 2. a life of leisure 悠闲的生活 5. very much 非常；确实是 6. at heart 内心，本质上 care for关心 8. make large donations 大量捐款 support v.支持 Para5 Given that Yuan’s hybrids have made him quite wealthy, one might think he would retire to a life of leisure. However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Yuan is still very much a farmer at heart. As a man of the soil, he cares little for celebrity or money. Instead, he makes large donations to support agricultural research. 鉴于袁隆平开发杂交水稻而变得相当富有，有人会认为他会退休享受悠闲的生活。但是，事实远非如此。实际上，袁隆平在内心深处仍然是一位农民。身为土地之子，他不在乎名利，反而捐赠巨资支持农业研究。 Para 5 : Yuan cared little for fame or wealth. Para6 What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing不断的 ability to fulfill his dreams. Long ago, he envisioned rice plants as tall as sorghum, with each ear of rice每穗米as big as a broom, and each grain 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 for “sea water rice海水稻” has also become a reality, and potentially opened up nearly one million square kilometres of salty land盐碱地in China for rice production. Despite his advanced years晚年, Yuan Longping is still young at heart and full of vision, and everyone is waiting to see what he will dream up next. 1. impress v.使印象深刻 impression n. impressive adj. fulfill his dream 实现他的梦想 as +adj+as 与……一样…… succeed in doing 成功做某事 at home and abroad在国内外 go abroad 去国外 potentially adv. 3. reality n 事实；现实 4. open up 开拓；开辟 be full of 充满 dream up 想象出 Para6 What impresses people most about Yuan Longping is his ongoing ability to fulfill his dreams.

Despite his advanced years, Yuan Longping is still young at heart and full of vision, 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。很早以前，他就设想水稻长得与高粱一样高，每穗有能与扫帚一样大，每颗稻米与花生一样饱满。他成功培育出能够养活更多人的水稻品种，甚至出口海外。后来他的“海水稻”愿景也成为了现实，并有望在中国开辟近100万平方公里的盐碱地用于水稻生产。即使在他晚年，袁隆平仍然保持年轻的心态，而且满怀憧惊，大家都会兴奋地期待他下一个不同寻常的想法。 Para6: Yuan worked hard to fulfill his dream.
