　　Netizens name the “father of hybrid rice” for Nobel prize

　　BEIJING, Nov．25－If netizens, rather than a selected group of experts, could choose Nobel Peace Prizes, a Chinese scientist might be a winner．

　　An Internet post last Tuesday calling for Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping to be awarded next year’s Nobel Peace Prize got 20 000 votes by this Friday．Yuan is known as the “father of hybrid rice” in China．

　　A post written by a netizen called “Tiannan Dibei” on bbs．rednet．cn called for Yuan’s nomination．It cited Nobel Peace Laureate Mother Teresa in 1979 for her contribution to global charity, and Norman Borlaug in 1970 for his invention of a high-yield wheat useful for developing countries．

　　“The Nobel Peace Prize does not limit its winners to politicians and organizations devoted to the prevention of war, ” the post said．“It’s also open to people and organizations who try to eliminate problems and narrow the wealth gap．”

　　“Elimination of poverty and hunger is creating peace, ”it said．“With his extraordinary contribution to grain growth in the country and the world, Yuan is fully qualified for the prize．”

　　The Beijing News reported that a member of the Nobel Committee said in a meeting with students of Tsinghua University in March that China is likely to make breakthroughs in the Nobel literature and peace prizes．

　　This year’s Nobel Peace Prize went to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank for their continuous efforts to grant small sum loans to the poor．

　　This Friday, more than 94 percent of more than 8500 people surveyed were in favor of Yuan getting the prize．

　　Yuan, a household name in China, is regarded as the most famous farmer in the country．He is noted for inventing a form of rice with a much higher yield than average crops．

　　With more than half of China’s paddy fields growing Yuan’s rice, his invention has fed millions of people in the world’s most populous country．

　　His “super rice” has also been introduced to more than 20 other countries．

　　本文以新聞體裁的形式報(bào)道了許多網(wǎng)民提議袁隆平為了世界的和平作出了巨大貢獻(xiàn)，因此應(yīng)該獲得下一年的諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)。

(1)

根據(jù)前兩段可知，兩萬(wàn)多網(wǎng)民提議，袁隆平應(yīng)當(dāng)是下一年的諾貝和平獎(jiǎng)的得主。由此可知袁隆平深受許多網(wǎng)民的歡迎。

(2)

作者在帖子中提到這兩個(gè)曾經(jīng)贏得諾貝和平獎(jiǎng)的人，主要是通過(guò)介紹它們的貢獻(xiàn)，讓我們了解袁隆平也為了世界和平作出了同樣的貢獻(xiàn)。

(3)

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知，諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)不僅僅是授給政治家或阻止戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的機(jī)構(gòu)，也可授予那些解決問(wèn)題，縮小貧窮差距的人�？傊�，不管是哪行哪業(yè)，只要為世界范圍的和平作出巨大貢獻(xiàn)的都有機(jī)會(huì)獲得諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)。

(4)

根據(jù)這一段的意思可知qualified應(yīng)該表示“有資格的；合格的”。

(5)

根據(jù)記者在報(bào)道中所使用的修飾詞匯可以看出他是支持網(wǎng)民的建議的。

　　●Travel in groups：Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places．By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences．

　　●Pack necessary things：The most important things to take are not always clothes：Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant．

　　●Use the Internet：The Net can help to save money．Some useful websites include www．Travelocity．com, www．bargains-lowest fare．com and www．Economic travel．com．
