On September 7, 1930, Yuan Longping was born in Beijing. Fluent in English, his mother often read Friedrich Nietzsche's works to him. Influenced by his mother, Yuan Longping liked English, geography and chemistry at school. After graduating from university, he became a teacher in the countryside of Hunan in 1953.
With lots of crop failures, nationwide hunger hit China in the 1960s, making many people live a bad life. Yuan was sad and felt he must do something. Since the climate in Hunan was not friendly to growing wheat. He decided to devote himself to studying how to increase the production of rice, a basic food for over 60 percent of Chinese people. From then on, he began a lifelong connection with rice.
Yuan Longping succeeded in growing the world's first high production hybrid rice (杂交水稻) variety in 1973, which could reach a yield of over 500 kg per more than 200 kg than before. For the next four decades, he continued to work on the research of hybrid rice. In 2020, hybrid rice developed by his team achieved 1,500 kg per mu in two growing seasons, a new world record.
Nowadays, the hybrid rice is grown in almost half of China's rice fields and its production accounts for 60 percent of the total rice production in China. The hybrid rice production is 20 percent more than the common kinds , the yearly increase of which feeds up to 100 million people.
In 2019, Yuan Longping, known as the “Father of hybrid rice”, was awarded with Medal of the Republic, China's highest honor.
Yuan Longping's biggest dream in life was to develop more hybrid rice varieties, which could be grown all over the world to help solve the global food problem. So far, the hybrid varieties he developed have been grown in over 40 countries, including the USA, Brazil and India.

The 17 Sustainable (可持续) Development Gosls of the United Nations give us opportunities of our time-opportunities to terminate extreme poverty, to make sure that everyone can get food and clean water. In fact, there are many space services that can help us pursue the Sustainable Development Goals.
Communication satellites make it possible to make a phone call and have Internet service on Earth. This is particularly important during times of disaster recovery, When Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines, the local communication networks needed to be repaired, and teams brought in communication tools that could connect with satellites. This was useful during the time of repair and recovery.
In space, we have a laboratory on the International Space Station. The vehicle and everything inside are in a form of free fall around the earth, and they don’t experience the effect of gravity. And because of this, we call it “microgravity (微重力)”. When astronauts are in the microgravity environment, their bodies react as if they’re aging rapidly. Their bones and muscles weaken, and the systems of their bodies change. As scientists study how to keep astronauts healthy in space, we can take the exercises and techniques we use for astronauts and transfer (转用) them to improve our health here.
Often, as we develop technology for astronauts and exploration for spacecrafts, we can also transfer those inventions to help people on the earth. Filtration (过滤) system is one of the examples. It is a tool that liquid is passed through in order to remove any materials that are not wanted. With the help of filtration system, drinking clean water became possible for astronauts in space. The system is now being used around the world.
Space is also a great source of inspiration, through education, research and astronomy (天文学). Now, countries around the world are working at advancing their own development by increasing their local knowledge of engineering, science and space.
8. What does the underlined word “terminate” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Create. | B.End. | C.Help. | D.Monitor. |
A.It is a state of free fall. | B.It widely exists on the earth. |
C.It can be changed by people. | D.It brings harm to astronauts. |
A.To encourage the exploration of space. | B.To promote the use of filtration system. |
C.To show the transfer of space inventions. | D.To inspire people to invent more tools. |
A.The Mystery of Outer Space Technologies. |
B.Space Technologies We Can Use to Improve Life. |
C.The Development of Advanced Space Technologies. |
D.Sustainable Development of Science and Technology. |
For decades sleep scientists have thought over the link between dreaming and creative inspiration. They have long thought the insight came from the stage of rapid eye movement sleep, which is rich with dreams and begins around 90 minutes after one falling asleep. But new evidence puts the spotlight on a much earlier phase — the period that separates sleep and wakefulness. In a study by MIT, researchers show that people who take brief naps (小睡) that bring about the beginning of sleep score higher on several measures of creativity than those who undertake the tasks after staying awake.
The findings suggest researchers could even exercise some measure of control over the dreaming process by directing people's dreams toward a specific topic. The more frequently people dreamed about that, the more creative they were on tasks related to it. “We can come to the conclusion that dreaming about a topic enhances your subsequent creativity on it,” says Robert Stickgold, a member of the study team.
The experiment took advantage of a glovelike sleep detector, which charts sleep by monitoring one's muscle tone, skin conductance and heart rate through contacts on the wrist and hand. It communicates with an app that issues voice prompts (提示) for dreams and records dream reports.
More than one famous thinker has capitalized on the phase called non-rapid eye movement sleep stage 1,or N1, illustrating the point about generating creative insights. The painter Salvador Dalí would deliberately nap, holding a set of keys above a metal plate, when thinking over an idea for a painting. As he nodded off, he'd drop the keys, which would hit the plate and wake him up, and he'd hold onto the image from his dream. Thomas Alva Edison is said to have used a similar technique with metal balls to gain insights.
“It's exciting because, in principle, people could use the technology themselves to develop creativity,” says Jonathan Schooler, a professor of psychological and brain sciences at the University of California. There seems to be no shortage of folks coming to try it. “So many different kinds of people have visited, knocking on the lab door and asking to have dreams,” co-lead investigator Haar Horowitz says.
12. Which phase boosts creative ideas according to the study?A.The initial sleep stage. | B.The middle of the sleep cycle. |
C.The wakefulness after sleep. | D.The rapid eye movement sleep stage. |
A.Physical changes reflect the sleep phase. | B.Dream contents re late to real life. |
C.Creativity levels vary with the nap length. | D.The theme of the dream can be guided. |
A.Encourages. | B.Improves. | C.Tracks. | D.Influences. |
A.To prove the effect of dreams. | B.To provide support for the findings. |
C.To interpret the benefits of N1. | D.To give examples of fueling creativity. |
