Salt in the soil has always made it impossible to grow crops.But that's now changing.
Famous agriculturalist （农学家）Yuan Longping said they would grow a special rice.They would turn 100 million mu of saline﹣alkali （盐碱的）land into farmland in the country over the next 10 years.
In 2017，Yuan's team successfully grew rice on the saline﹣alkali land in Jiangsu Province.It is called sea rice.Now they have made great progress.Both China and many other countries around the world have large saline﹣alkali land.If all of it can be used to grow rice and grain，it is very important for food security（安全）.And it will help the UN zero﹣hunger goal come true.
Yuan Longping was named as"Father of Hybrid Rice".He helped China make a great wonder—feeding nearly 20% of the world's population with less than 9% of the world's farmland.Then Yuan had a much bigger dream—to save the world from hunger.The world is seeing China's sea rice as a way to fight food insecurity.
"I had a dream.Rice was as high as sorghum （高粱）；ears （穗）were as long as brooms；grains were as big as peanuts （花生）.I could actually enjoy the cool under the rice crops." Yuan said of his childhood dream.And he was one step closer to his dream.
"I'm confident in the future of my country，and I want to do more for my motherland." said Yuan.

Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work. ①Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don’t wait until very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is.
If you have more than an hour’s work，you should give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand，② you should work at least half an hour a time without stopping.
Don’t put it off（推迟）until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework，you will have it on your mind，and you won’t enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until night before a test，you will have too much catching up to do. A little each night, enough to keep up with（跟上）what is happening each day in school，will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.
Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit. It will make part of your daily work easier to do，and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.改写①句使句意不变。
_________ you get too tired, you should _______ doing your homework.What will happen if you put off your homework until the last minute?

Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them over and over again. Many of the great men in the world got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning languages. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear，remember and speak two languages every day.
