3 . Although he is one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for the past five decades. Yuan Longping grows super hybrid rice. In 1973, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow the super hybrid rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce 20% more of the crop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice is from this hybrid strain.

Born in 1930, Yuan Longping graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to produce more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a problem in many parts of China. Yuan Longping looked for a way to increase rice output without expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce about 56 million tons of rice, but now nearly 200 million tons per year. Nearly 22% of the world’s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in the world, which is due to the super hybrid rice grown by Yuan Longping.

About 20 years ago, on the way to a student’s house, Zhang Guimei learned that a 13-year-old girl     1     （force） to get married by her parents. She felt sorry for not     2     （be）able to help. That inspired her to build a free high school for girls from the far-away mountains. After years of efforts, in 2008 a free public high school was founded at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping,     3     Zhang has been the headmaster since then. Over the years, Zhang has walked     4     （thousand） of kilometers, persuading girls to go back to school. Now more than 1, 800 graduates have been admitted     5     college, which is regarded a “miracle” in the area, because most students didn’t do     6     （good） in academic study before the school was founded.

Zhang Guimei wants children from the mountains to attend the best universities. She told the media a girl can influence three generations. “    7     educated, responsible mother will not let her children     8     （drop） out of school,” she added, “And the goal is to prevent poverty from passing down from generation to generation”. Her     9     （move）stories inspire a great many people. In early December, she was named a     10     （nation）outstanding member of the Communist Party of China for her contribution to education in rural China.

5 . Isaac Newton is one of the greatest geniuses in history, though in his younger years, nobody would have guessed that he would grow up to become one of the world’s most brilliant minds.

He was born prematurely (早产) and quite small. He hated his step family. He went to a school that did not teach mathematics, and then later he was removed. His mother was widowed twice. She urged him to become a farmer, and he hated that too. He was a working student in college, doing odd jobs to pay for his education. And he graduated from Cambridge without honors.

He didn’t look outstanding at all, and neither was his story. But his mind saw more complex, and fascinating stories in the concepts of mathematics and physics. His plain life did not bother him at all.

Though he went through his Cambridge years with barely any honors, the inside of his study was found to have some of the most groundbreaking discoveries in physics and mathematics. He went on to discover many of his famous theories, including the generalized binomial theorem, power series, and infinite sums. He also observed the way light is refracted ( 折 射 ) by lenses and developed his own Newtonian telescope. Through his discovery of the Laws of Universal Gravitation and Laws of Motion, the field of physics was forever transformed.

If there was anything constant about the life of Isaac Newton, it wasn’t merely that his brain was large，but that it was continuously filled with wonder. Isaac Newton’s life was brilliant, not because of his wondrous adventures, but because he saw wonder in everything- from the minute details of mathematical philosophy, to how the world works. Truly, there is nothing boring or ordinary about a mind that seeks adventure in all things.

As we all know, the father of hybrid rice---Yuan Longping cultivated hybrid rice and fed millions of people all over world. He was one of the greatest scientist in China. Unluckily, he pass away at the age of 91,in May 22,2021.However,her dream will always inspire many people. His dream was that he could enjoy the shade under the hybrid rice. There is no doubt that dream is very much important. As for myself, I would like to become a usefully person like Yuan Longping which did valuable contribution. What I can do is that I will study hardly and learn more knowledge. I hope I can achieve my dream one day but I will never give up my dream no matter how difficult it is.
