They are the bases of the traditional food in North China. )If you had the chance to do one thing to help end hunger in the world, what would you do? (For reference: I would try to end hunger by popularizing the advanced farming techniques. Modern techniques could be introduced to increase the rice output, and expand the area of fields.)2. Giving background information about Professor Yuan LongpingHave you ever heard of a man called Professor Yuan Longping? Would anyone of you tell the class something about him?(For reference: Professor Yuan Longping is a Chinese agricultural scientist. Professor Yuan's breakthrough scientific achievement led to the world's first successful and widely grown hybrid rice varieties, revolutionizing rice cultivation in China and tripling production over a generation.His approach to rice breeding then spread internationally throughout Asia and to Africa and the Americas, providing food for tens of millions and leading to his becoming known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice."III.

It is about Yuan Longping, “Father of Super hybrid rice”.Yuan Longping, China's Most Famous "Farmer"Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s.Since then, 50 percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice,which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output. Furrows grown on his sunburnt face, a slim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse foreign reporters who came to interview the most famousscientist in China, who would rather be called "a farmer." Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in paddyfields,but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields onlyfor hybridizing rice.。
