What’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.

Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “dark horse” by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!

“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.

That Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.

Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.

Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.

 Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.

71. What does ‘dark horse’ mean? It means _____________.

A. a horse which is dark                                 B. someone who is unexpected to win

C. a horse which likes the dark               D. someone whose win is expected

72. Where did Han Xiaopeng take China’s first gold on snow?

A. In China                B. In Italy.             C. In America.             D. In Australia.

73. What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?

A. He had enough courage though he was only 12 years old.

B. He was born in the south of China and liked sports on snow.

C. He had the agility and wasn’t afraid of the high platform.

D. He had the talent and he had won a world gold medal before.

74. Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. He insisted on competing though hurting his knee in the game

B. He made two almost perfect jumps and got the highest score.

C. Someone had won the gold before Han Xiaopeng at the winter Olympics.

                                                  Yuan Longping, China's Most Famous"Farmer"
     It says every scientist cherishes a childhood dream indicating his or her future success, but for Yuan
Longping, dubbed (授予称号) as "father of hybrid rice", the dream is that he cultivates rice as plump as peanuts, and farmers can relax in the cool shadow of big rice plants.
     Yuan,71,won a 5 million yuan State Supreme Science and Technology Award today, known as the Nobel
Prize in China, for his outstanding achievements in breeding high yield-Hybrid rice, which has substantially
increased China's grain output.
     Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the world in 1960s.Since then,50
percent of China's total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to
the country's grain output.
      Furrows (皱纹) grown on his sunburnt face, a slim figure and coiled-up trousers legs would confuse
foreign reporters who came to interview the most famous scientist in China, who would rather be called "a
farmer". Indeed, like many Chinese farmers, Yuan in his 70s and has devoted most of his life growing rice in
paddy fields, but unlike those farmers, he reaps the seed from experimental fields only for hybridizing rice.
     The urbanite-turned-farmer graduated from Southwest Agriculture College in 1953 has his name related to
the world's most advanced agricultural technology. Four minor planets, a listed seed company's and a science
college in China were named after him, which were the first time that a Chinese scientist's name is valued for its intellectual assets.
     By lending his name to the Longping High-tech, a seed company, Yuan obtained a 5 per cent stake, or 2.5
million shares worth 2 million yuan, in the firm. However, Yuan said his research requires the lifestyle of a
farmer, or rather a migrating farmer, as he has conducted extensive research related to the cultivation of new
strains of hybrid rice"Super Hybrid Rice" in some 10 provinces.
     In the year 1999,more than 300 billion kilograms of grain were increased from about 240 million hectares
(公顷) of hybrid rice, which signified the success of his research. And this made Yuan firmly believe that
China can surely feed her 1.2 billion population with her limited cultivated land.
     The "Super Rice" yields are 30 percent higher than those of common rice. The record yield of 17 055
kilograms per hectare was registered in Yongsheng County in Yunnan in 1999.But even after that achievement
Yuan won't take a break. He has a dream, more realistic than that of his young age, that popularizing new
strains of grain with higher yields around the world, can eliminate starvation on earth.
      The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has vowed to get involved in the work of spreading the
coverage of Yuan's high-yield hybrid rice, which it considers the best way to increase the world's grain output.
     The FAO's 1991 statistics show that 20 percent of the world's rice output was yielded from 10 percent of
the world's rice fields, which grow hybrid rice."If the new strain was sown in the rest of the rice acreage, the
present grain output around the world can be more than doubled. This can be a solution to the grain shortage,"
the unselfish scientist.
     In 1980,Yuan went to the United States at the invitation of the International Rice Research Institute to share
his knowledge about the cultivation technology of hybrid rice. He was also employed in 1991 as the chief
consultant of FAO to bring his research methods to other countries. With the help of Chinese scientists, the
acreage (面积) of hybrid rice in Viet Nam and India increased to 200 000 hectares and 150 000 hectares in
1999, respectively.
     The rice research costs time to prove its value. At the age of 43,Yuan cultivated the world's first hybrid
rice. At that time the country's grain yield was about 4500 kilogram per hectare."The natural disaster and policy miscarriage further deteriorated starvation in China by then," Yuan recalled tearfully.
     This is his motivation to stimulate his research. Largely due to his scientific progress, China's total rice
output rose from 5.69 billion tons in 1950 to 19.47 billion tons last year. The growth rate of rice output far
exceeded the population growth speed.
     Some people estimate Yuan's actual fortune might amount to more than 100 million ?yuan? (12 million
U.S.dollars),making him one of the richest people in China. But he doesn't know for sure himself, for he seems
not to care about his own assets than the rice harvest. Some people asked him to move the focus of his
research from improving amounts of hybrid rice to the quality and taste, which would be easier to do. But, the
stubborn academician (学者) insisted that the amount of hybrid rice's per unit yield still outweighs the quality,
for his foremost task is to improve the grain reserve in developing countries.
