Yuan Longping，the Father of Hybrid Rice（杂交水稻之父），was born in 1930.He became a teacher in Hunan province after graduation.
He came up with an idea for hybridizing rice in the 1960s when China was caught by many natural disasters（灾难）.To help China get out of the troubles，he did the research on better rice.Because of his effort，China can provide more rice for its people.The hybrid rice also has great meaning to other countries.
He was not only careful about science study，but also good at English and violin.He was interested in everything around him，so he was full of energy and always looked like a young man.
Although he was rich and famous，he never paid more attention to money.The true richness lies in a person's heart，not the appearance.Also，the best things in life are free.
"We can learn a lot from Yuan Longping 's scientific spirit and his life attitude（态度）."
Wang Ping said. "Though we have enough food to eat，we should eat up the things we buy and stop food waste." Zhang Hua promised.

In Chengdu，tea culture has developed into the Chengdu﹣featured （特色的） tea house culture.There is a saying about Chengdu tea houses：You could see more tea houses than sunny days.The tea houses catch so much eyesight because of their many different functions （功能） ：for fun，relaxing and meetings.
The desks and chairs in the tea houses are often made of bamboo.The teas are usually jasmine （茉莉花） tea，Longjing，and Biluochun.They use northern Gaiwan as tea sets （larger than Gongfu Gaiwan）.Gaiwan is made up of three parts：the lid （盖） ，the cup and the saucer （茶碟） .When the tea service master pours water into the Gaiwan，you will see the water falling from the air into Gaiwan，with a lively sound.In a moment，water stops.Then look at the Gaiwan.The water in it is just right at the level of the Gaiwan's mouth，with a simple drop on the desk.
No matter where you are in Chengdu，in a quiet park or in a busy street，you can see those featured tea houses.People can stay there for half a day，having only a cup of tea and snacks.In the talks of friends and neighbors，the colorful tea culture of Sichuan is fully expressed.
