People all over the world eat rice. Millions of people in Asia, Africa and South America live on it. Some people eat almost nothing but rice. Rice is a kind of grass. There are more than 7,000 kinds of rice. Most kinds are water plants. Farmers grow rice in many countries, even in the south of the United States and in eastern Australia.
China is the world's largest rice - growing country. In 2003, China grew 166 million tons of rice. But it is not easy to feed the world's largest population. Long ago many people died because they didn't have enough food to eat. In the 1970s, Yuan Longping, a Chinese scientist, grew a new kind of rice called hybrid rice. It makes 20% more rice than any other kind. Hybrid rice is a stronger plant, unlike ordinary（普通的）rice. It can grow in lots of water or in not much water. It doesn't easily get diseases or worms.
Today, half of China's rice plants are Yuan's special hybrid rice. China uses Yuan's hybrid rice to grow much more rice than before. Yuan is known as the Father of Hybrid Rice. He won the World Food Prize for his work to help feed so many people.

Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.
In 1954, Life magazine published (刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.

In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.

More than twenty - five hundred years ago, life in ancient China was very hard. States were often at war with each other. Most of the people were hopelessly poor. But it was also a time in Chinese history when there were many great men. Among them was one of the greatest men. He was Confucius.
Confucius didn't come from a rich family. His father died when Confucius was only three years old. The boy grew up to be very tall and strong but he was quiet, thoughtful, and studious. And he became learned when he was only twenty years old. As Confucius saw the people around him living a terrible life, he became eager to help them. At last he left his family.
He wandered many states to spread his thought but these states were busy with wars. They did not like what he said. He devoted to the education since he was young. He told his students to be honest and kind, and to honor their parents. He taught them that a good man never lets himself get angry. Many of his sayings were gathered together and written down. One of his famous sayings is "Do not do to others what you do not wish others to do to you."
For years he wandered from state to state spreading his ideas to all who would listen to him. No country would like to ask him to come into power. He had to come back to his hometown when he was sixty - eight. Only five years later, the greatest Chinese thinker passed away.
31. The Chinese people lived a ______ life 2,500 years ago.
A. happy B. easy C. hard D. peaceful

C. When he was 72 years old.
D. When he was 70 years old.
35. Choose the correct translation for "Do not do to others what you do not wish others to do to you."

B. 三人行必有我师焉。

People all over the world eat rice. Millions of people in Asia, Africa and South America live on it. Some people eat almost nothing but rice. Rice is a kind of grass. There are more than 7,000 kinds of rice. Most kinds are water plants. Farmers grow rice in many countries, even in the south of the United States and in eastern Australia.
China is the world's largest rice - growing country. In 2003, China grew 166 million tons of rice. But it is not easy to feed the world's largest population. Long ago many people died because they didn't have enough food to eat. In the 1970s, Yuan Longping, a Chinese scientist, grew a new kind of rice called hybrid rice. It makes 20% more rice than any other kind. Hybrid rice is a stronger plant, unlike ordinary（普通的）rice. It can grow in lots of water or in not much water. It doesn't easily get diseases or worms.
Today, half of China's rice plants are Yuan's special hybrid rice. China uses Yuan's hybrid rice to grow much more rice than before. Yuan is known as the Father of Hybrid Rice. He won the World Food Prize for his work to help feed so many people.
