15、其他千百万中国农民一样。过去 50 年来，他一直在努力帮助他们。袁隆平种植的是被称为“超级杂交水稻”的稻种。1973 年，他成为世界上第一位种植高产水稻的农业先驱。这种特殊的稻种使得同样的田地多收获 20%的产量成为可能。如今中国每年生产的稻米有 60%以上出自这种杂交稻种。袁隆平于 1930 年出生，1953 年毕业于西南农学院。从那时起，找到水稻高产的方法就成为他一生的目标。年轻时，他就看到了对水稻增产的巨大需求。当时，饥饿是许多农村地区面临的一个严重问题。袁隆平要在不增加土地面积的基础上寻求增加稻谷产量的途径。1950 年，中国农民能生产大约五千六百万吨稻米，而近来却生产了将近两亿吨稻米
16、。这一粮食产量的增加意味着中国仅用世界 7%的耕地养活了世界 22%的人口。袁隆平现在在印度、越南和很多其他欠发达国家传播提高水稻产量的知识。由于他的研究，联合国在消除世界饥饿的战斗中有了更多的方法。用他的杂交水稻种子，农民们种出的粮食比以前多了一倍。读文清障原文呈现Yuan Longping is quite satisfied with28 his life.However,he doesnt care about being famous.He feels it gives him less freedom29 to do his research.He would much rathe

22、自己身上花钱或者享受舒适的生活对他来说意义也不大。事实上，他认为一个人有了太多钱，他的麻烦事只会更多，而不是更少。于是，他拿出数百万元帮助其他人进行农业研究。然而，梦想是不花本钱的。很久以前，袁隆平曾梦见水稻长得像高粱一样高，稻穗跟玉米穗一样大，而每粒稻米像花生米一般大。他从梦中醒来，希望能培育出一种能养活更多人的水稻。许多年后的今天，袁隆平还有另外一个梦想，那就是他的稻米可以出口以便长遍全球。一个梦想总是不够的，尤其对一个热爱和关心人民的人来说更是如此。.Match the word with its meaning.1sunburnt Ato provide with things nec
