查看习题详情和答案>>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. In the 1960s, thousands of Chinese 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.
