8．　　For most Chinese people, rice is an important part of almost every meal. But for Yuan Longping, rice was his lifetime career.
　　In the 1960s, people in China didn't have enough food to eat and many people even died. Yuan decided to work on a kind of hybrid(杂交水稻)to feed more people. Many scientists didn't think hybrid rice was possible. But Yuan still spent four years looking for the rice that could be crossed (杂交)with other plants. In 1964, he found it!
　　In 1973, he grew the world's first hybrid rice. It could reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu. Farmers can grow it on many different kinds of land. It can fight bad weather and disease, too.
　　Now it has helped China feed nearly one-fifth of the world's population (人口)with only about 7 percent of the world's farmland, CGTN reported.
　　Yuan won many prizes because of his great achievements, but he lived a simple life. He donated most of his prize money to a foundation to help young scientists. "I don't like being a politician, and I'm not a businessman/'he once said.

9．　　Most of us are used to having electricity at all times. But recent power shortages (短缺)in some cities in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces brought a lot of trouble.
　　Since early December, streetlights in some cities have been off. Elevators in some office buildings are not working. The central air conditioner in malls, libraries and government buildings has been off for many days, Xinhua reported.
　　The power cuts in these provinces have some reasons, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said. The need for electricity has been larger and larger. This winter's cold weather made things worse. Take Hunan, for example. Cold weather came at least one month earlier than usual this year. Millions of people started using space heaters (取暖器).
　　Besides, most electricity in China is produced by burning coal, which creates a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). But now the province has burned less coal in power stations in order to protect the environment, China Daily noted. Therefore, the province produced less electricity.
　　Governments are trying to end the shortages. While calling on people to use less electricity, the NDRC will also ask power companies to produce more power. It will also move power from other provinces to the provinces that need power.

10．
Dear humans,
　　It's the first time I write to you, my children. I used to send you many messages. But you always overlook them. So I decide to write you a letter.
　　First, let me tell you more about our family. Dear humans, besides you, I have many other children. (1)      Some of them swim in water. Some live in ice﹣covered places. Some run in the grasslands.
　　Some of them are as small as your fingernails (手指甲), such as bugs;some of them are as big as cars, such as elephants.
　　(2)      They even live in your house. But there are others that you may never have the chance to meet.
　　You bring them home to be your pets, friends, and helpers. You put them in zoos. You kill them for their meat and fur. (3)      They bring you money and happiness. But they also bring you disease(疾病)and death.
　　I hope you can remember that wild animals are not your food, clothes or furniture. They are not killers, either. (4)      You are equal. You should grow up together.
　　Humans, you are smart and hardworking. You created colorful cultures and advanced technologies(先进的科技). You can decide where you go, as well as where I go.
　　But you don't respect me. You change my climate, my lands, my forests, my rivers. .. You ask so much of me, more than what I can give you. (5)      
　　So, grow up, humans, Grow up to be more responsible (负责任的). I hope you and all the wildlife can live happily in my arms.
Yours,
Mother Earth
