Ⅱ. 阅读理解【主题：人与社会 杂交水稻之父袁隆平】
Yuan Longping was a famous scientist who made great achievements in developing hybrid rice. His research greatly solved the problem of food shortage in the world.
Yuan Longping started the research in 1964. He put forward the idea of hybrid rice, did experiments (实验) on the farm, and succeeded in 1973. The new technology was tested in Hunan Province in 1974, and then he continued to test it in other areas. Yuan made it possible to grow hybrid rice in large amounts, and he was called “the Father of Hybrid Rice”.
Besides being a respected scientist, he was also a romantic husband and a caring grandfather. Yuan’s granddaughters remembered that when he travelled to Hong Kong, he wanted to buy his wife a new watch, but it was too expensive, so he gave his wife a piece of candy instead. When he was 90 years old, his family held a birthday party. Hundreds of people came to the party. There was a moving moment: Yuan cut the first piece of cake and immediately gave it to his wife. They also said that their grandfather paid much attention to their English and maths studies. No matter how tired he was after work, he would still ask about their studies.
Yuan Longping loved playing the violin, swimming and driving. What’s more, he had a special habit—playing mahjong (麻将) with friends for an hour every evening to train his brain. Just like common people, the scientist laughed when he won and didn’t hide his disappointment when he lost. When his request (请求) to build a research centre was agreed to, he was very excited.
This is Yuan Longping: an ordinary (普通的) person who made great achievements.
