Read the text quickly. Who was the seed scientist What did he do
The Inspiring Seed Scientist
On 25 September 2017, the scientific world was shaken by the news that Chinese professor Zhong Yang had died in a car accident. The well-respected biologist had spent his whole life researching plants and seeds. Over the years, he collected many important seeds for China’s seed banks. These special banks protect all kinds of plant seeds, including the ones we need for food, and they make sure that important plants do not disappear from the world forever.
Zhong Yang was born in 1964. When he was young, he showed a deep love and curiosity for the things he studied. He was an excellent student, entering university at the early age of 15. There, he studied radio engineering and later became interested in plants. The research and study of plants, especially the seeds, became the focus of his life after he became a professor at Fudan University.
1b
By Yushen
It is important for seed banks to include many different kinds of seeds. When Zhong Yang discovered that there was not enough research of the seeds from Xizang, he went there to collect seeds himself. In 2001, he began his travels across Xizang. It was very difficult for him to brave the cold weather and great heights. He sometimes fell sick, but he always continued with his work.
Zhong Yang knew it was better to include more people when doing important work. He began a programme to find and train local students in field research to become scientists. Together, he and his team collected more than 40 million seeds from around 1,000 plants. Their hard work provided the world with lots of new information about the plants in China.
Zhong Yang left behind more than just a huge collection of seeds. His love for his job and research lives on in his students. He once said, “My students will continue on the road of scientific exploration and the seeds we have collected may grow hundreds of years from now.”

By Yushen
Discuss the questions.
1. Why did Zhong Yang want more people to do seed collection and research
2. What made Zhong Yang admirable What can we learn from him
He knew seed collection and research is important work, and having more people involved means more plants can be protected. Training local students also ensures the work will continue long after he is gone.
He was hard-working (braving harsh conditions in Xizang), dedicated (spent his whole life on seed research), and caring (trained students to carry on his work). We can learn his spirit of dedication, perseverance, and responsibility to protect nature.
