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.
1. It is not necessary for seed banks to collect different kinds of seeds.

Tell a story
Zhong Yang was born with a love for learning. He entered university at just 15 and studied radio engineering. Later he became more interested in plants and seeds. He travelled around Xizang to collect seeds and also started a programme to train local students. Sadly, he died in a car accident in September 2017, but he left behind a life dedicated to teaching and scientific exploration, which has inspired many others.

2. His love for his job and research lives on in his students.
1. What is happening in this sentence
2. Does the sentence describe something
positive or negative
3. Are there examples, reasons, or
comparisons that help explain the word
1. It was very hard for him to face and bear
the freezing cold and high places.“Brave”
here doesn't mean being not afraid of
danger or difficulty. It is used as a verb
and means to face or deal with something
uncomfortable and scary.
2. His love for his work and study continues
in his students. "Live on" means
something continues to exist after
someone is gone.
Explain the meanings
in your own words
Discuss the questions.
1. Why did Zhong Yang want more people to do seed collection and research
2. What makes Zhong Yang admirable What can you learn from him
3. What other admirable scientists do you know of
What can you learn from their stories
Because seed collection and research are very important and the work is too much for one person. He trained students so the work could continue and more plants could be protected.
He is admirable because he worked hard in difficult conditions and cared about protecting nature and training young scientists, especially local students. We can learn to be passionate, persistent, responsible, and helpful to others.
Yuan Longping teaches us to use science to help people. Tu Youyou teaches us patience and dedication. Marie Curie teaches us curiosity and lifelong learning. They are all admirable scientists.
