Everyone has a hero in his heart. The
26． in my heart is Yuan Longping, who is a great Chinese scientist. He is known
27． “Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻之父）”.

Yuan Longping was
28． on September 7^th, 1930. He studied very hard when he was young. After graduating
29． college in 1953, he became a teacher in an agriculture（农业）school. In 1960, Yuan Longping saw many people die of hunger, so he made a
30． to do some research into a new kind of rice-hybrid rice. After
31． years of hard work, Yuan Longping with his students made a great wonder in 1975-feeding nearly 20% of the world’s population with
32． than 9% of the world’s farmland. So far, over 100 countries in
33．, Africa and America have grown hybrid rice.

Many people look up to Yuan Longping because he spent all his life working for people on the earth.
34． he has been dead, we will never forget him.
35． spirit always encourages us to try our best to serve our motherland. There is no doubt that Yuan Longping is a great hero.

Parents helped us in all sides when we were very young. As we grow older, we may help them. Families can succeed in reaching goals when all family members help one another.

What makes real family members? Whoever we are, our family members are the most important in our lives. Family members support each other in many ways besides money or helping around the house. On the one hand, we can share our hopes, dreams or problems when we communicate with them. On the other hand, we can get a strong feeling of satisfaction and confidence with their help.

How to build good family relationships needs a lot of efforts. Firstly, everyone in the family needs to get along well with each other and shouldn’t have conflicts. Secondly, family members should share thoughts and feelings while eating meals, traveling or working together. Thirdly, we should talk with each other about our worries and then solve them together because family members can encourage one another to set goals and achieve dreams. Finally, we are supposed to spend time listening to family members. Listening shows we care about them as much as they care about us.

In a word, family members can make us full of energy and powerful all the time.

Has your mother or grandmother ever made embroidered（刺绣的）clothes for you? In the past, Chinese people often embroidered on hats, shoes and dresses to show the beauty of nature or the best wishes to others. Some girls would even embroider on a sachet（香囊）as a gift for their lovers.

Shu embroidery comes from Sichuan. It is said that Shu embroidery is the oldest kind of embroidery in China. People began to make it during the Han Dynasty（206 BC—220 AD）. They sold it to other countries such as ancient Rome.

Shu embroidery takes time. It might take as long as a whole day to finish just 10 cm. Embroidery workers need to divide each silk thread（丝线）into more than 10 or even 30 smaller threads. Each smaller thread is thinner than a human hair.

Meng Dezhi, who used to work at the Chengdu Shu Embroidery Factory, has been making Shu embroidery for 40 years. She loves this form of art and wants more people to try it, so she gives lessons in universities. She said, “Although the work is hard, Shu embroidery stands for thousands of years of Sichuan culture. It is a symbol of Chinese culture as well.”

Visiting the Shanghai Planetarium can

62． 38,000 square meters in size. There is a research center and other facilities for people to watch the stars. It has collected
63． stones including those from the moon, Mars and so on. People can get knowledge about astronomy by

   Once upon a time, there was a boy who was out playing on the beach with his friends. While they were playing, the boy found a stone which looked strange. It wasn’t the same as other stones. It was a little bit shining. But it was quite dirty. The boy took the stone home because he wanted to polish it.

His friends felt surprised and they asked, “Why are you polishing that ugly stone?”, but the boy didn’t reply. From then on, when they went out to play, the boy would take the stone with him. He would polish it whenever he had a rest.

This went on for some time. Then one day, the boy played with his friends as usual. He had a surprise for them. When he showed the stone to them, they were amazed. It was, in fact, not a common stone at all-it was a beautiful diamond（钻石）. The boy had been polishing it until it was completely clean and bright.

In our lives, there will be times when people try to discourage us. The best thing we can do is to continue to work towards our goals. We can turn a rough stone into a diamond. This story tells us that anything is possible if we go for it.
