他是一位真正的耕耘者。當他還是一個鄉村教師的時候，已經具有顛覆世界權威的膽識；當他名滿天下的時候，卻仍然只是專注于田疇。淡薄名利，一介農夫，播撒智慧，收獲富足。他畢生的夢想，就是讓所有人遠離饑餓。喜看稻菽千重浪，最是風流袁隆平！

---袁隆平在2004感動中國中的頒獎詞

有人曾經風趣地說，中國農民吃飯靠“兩平”，一是靠鄧小平的責任制，二是靠袁隆平的雜交水稻。今天中國水稻種植面積中，約有一半是采用袁隆平培育的雜交產品，每年生產的稻谷可以多養活6000多萬人。2004年，袁隆平領導的超級雜交稻項目不斷取得重大突破，在育種方面提前一年實現了大面積畝產超過800公斤的目標，這意味著每年又可以多養活7500萬人。ResumeName:Nationality:Dateofbirth:appearance:Education:personality:Achievements:Dreams:Hobbies:YuanLongpingChinese1930sunburnt,slim,strongSouthwestAgricultureCollegecarelittleaboutmoneyandfamesuperhybridriceproduceexportviolin,mah-jong,swimmingPara1A.DrYuan’sdreams.Para2B.DrYuan’spersonality.Para3C.DrYuan’sbiography.Para4D.DrYuan’sappearanceandhisachievement.APIONEERFORALLPEOPLEMatchthefollowingheadingswiththerightparagraphs.LanguagepointsinReading1.In1974,hebecamethefirstagriculturalpioneerintheworldtogrowricethathasahighoutput. thefirst...todosth.
