Hua Luogeng: Genius Comes from Accumulation, Intelligence Comes from Diligence

    1     only having a high school qualification, the former Professor and Mathematician Hua Luogeng published more than 200 papers, monographs and dozens of popular works in the field of mathematical research. People often say that he is a mathematical genius but Hua believes that “Genius comes from accumulation, and intelligence comes from diligence.”

After graduating from junior high school, Hua, who came from a poor family began a life of part-time work and study. He spent 5 years    2    (complete)all high school and university coursework in mathematics. In 1931, his publication caught the attention and gained much praise from Tsinghua Professor Xiong Qinglai. He was subsequently, transferred to the Department of Mathematics to work as an assistant. Surrounded by talents, Hua made a promise to himself: “I    3    (make) extraordinary efforts to achieve my own goals!” “They have received    4    (great) education than me so I must double my efforts in order to make up for the losses. So it people only work for 8 hours every day, I need to work 12 hours every day!”

    5    was Hua hardworking in his research and development, he also held great love for his country. After the founding of New China, Hua gave up his work overseas to teach at Tsinghua. In Hong Kong, he wrote “An open letter to all the Chinese students who studied abroad in America” from which he advocated the need to return home. “We    6     return for our ideals and return home for our country and people.”

Hua Luogeng has made outstanding contributions to the training of new Chinese mathematicians. He was very strict with young researchers. Every day at dawn, Hua Luogeng would go to the researchers’ dormitory and knock on their doors to start his discussion on the questions and findings    7    (raise) during the lectures. It is under such strictness    8    many of his students grew and created a new talent pool of Chinese mathematicians, some of    9     are Wan Zhexian, Lu Qikeng, Wang Yuan, Chen Jingrun and much more.

In 1985, Hua Luogeng went to give lectures in Japan and he fainted on the teaching podium due to exhaustion. He worked until the last minute of his life.    10    said in a poem for him “A general dies on the battlefield and a scholar dies in his study room. You have dedicated your entire life to academics and research and you have given your life to science.”

Three scientists have won the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics for their discoveries related to massive objects called black holes.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Science said Tuesday it would give half of the $ 1.1 million prize to Roger Pen-rose of Britain's University of Oxford ,     1    (add) that he had used mathematics to prove that black holes were a direct result of "Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity."

Germany's Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez of the United States will share the other half of the physics prize. The academy honored the two scientists "    2    the discovery of a super-massive compact object at the center of our galaxy." That object was a large black hole. The physics   prize celebrates     3    the Nobel Committee called "one of the most exotic objects in the universe."

Galaxies are huge systems that contain billions of stars. Black holes might exist at the center of every galaxy. Nothing, not even light,     4    escape their gravity. Time comes to a stop     5    it gets closer.

Roger Pen-rose proved that the formation of black holes was possible. His work       6    (base) heavily on Einstein's general theory of relativity. British astronomer Martin Rees noted it was   Pen-rose's work     7    fueled a "renaissance" in the study of relativity. He added, Pen-rose, together with Setphen Hawking, helped support evidence for the Big Bang and black holes. "Pen-rose and Hawking are the two Individuals     8    have done more than anyone else since Einstein to deepen our knowledge of gravity," Rees said.

The first picture Genzel and Ghez got of the object was in 1995. A year later, another picture appeared to show that the stars near the center of the Milky Way were moving around

    9    . A third picture led Genze and Ghez to think they had discovered it. Andrea Ghez is the fourth woman     10    (award) the Nobel Prize for physics. The others were Marie Curie in 1903, Marie Goeppert-Mayer in 1963, and Donna Strickland in 2018.

The third-generation hybrid rice     1    (develop) by Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice," and his team achieved    2     new yield record in fields in central China's Hunan province. The new record in Qingzhu village, Hengyang city, one of the hybrid rice's experimental fields,     3    (reach) 1,603.9 kg per mu. Hunan is one of the major rice     4    (producer) in China, and is     5     farmers plant double-cropping rice. Among the rice’s output, the yield of early rice came to 667.8 kg per mu in the test fields, and that of late-season rice stood at 936.1 kg per mu. Last year, the same hybrid rice    6    (vary) made a double-cropping yield of 1,530.76 kg per mu in a year     7     the same plot(小块土地).   "Surpassing(超过) a yield of 1,500 kg per mu in a year on the same plot     8    (mean) that the target set by professor Yuan Longping    9    (realize)," said Li Jianwu, a researcher at the Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center. The high yield under unfavorable conditions of the earlier continuous high temperature has shown the varietal has strong adapt-ability and has laid a good foundation for future    10    (promote), he said.
