A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLE Born in a poor farmer's family in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice have been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbed problem in many parts of the countryside. Although he is one of China's the most famous scientists, Yuan Long ping considers him a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Dr Yuan Long ping grows that is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he become the first agricultural pioneer in the world grow rice that has a high output.

However, he doesn't care about being famous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer trouble. Just dreaming for things, however, costs everything. One dream is not always enough, especial for a person who loves and cares for his people. 四、逐句翻译，（巧用连词和改写句型）连句成篇
