On Septenber 29,2019, two days before the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, 89一year一old Yuan Longping was awarded the Medal of the Republic, the country's highest honor for his extraordinary contribution to the nation's food security, the development of agricultural science, and global food supply. t4A tiny grain could either save a country or bring it down. The importance of fcx)d security should never be underestimated,'' said Yuan, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering.
The 2019 State of Food Security and Nuiridon in the World report shows that over 820 m山ion people are suffering from hunger and the world is facing huge challenges in achieving the sustainable development goal of zero hunger by 2030. According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, there are four factors in food security: physical availability of food, economic and physical access to food, food use, and stability of the other three factors over time. Between 1979 and 2005, China received fcx)d aid from the UN World Food Program(WFP) which benefited over 30 million people nationwide. Starting from 2016, however, the partnership between China and the WFP witnessed a total transformation: China turned from a major aid recipient to a leading aid donor, supporting millions of malnourished(营养不良的)people beyond its borders.
Innovation(仓4新)in science and technology is one of the driving forces behind this change. Yuan is considered a pioneer in the field of food science and technology. He has dedicated himself to the research, application and promotion of hybrid rice for decades. The super hybrid rice that his team cultivated can yield nearly 18.1 ton per hectare, setting a new world record. Hence, Yuan is regarded as the ^father of hybrid rice."
"Food safety is of very importance to the national economy and people's livelihood. As an agronomist, I felt that I should focus on this area,'' Yuan told CGTN. "My biggest hope is to make sure that the 'rice bowl' is firmly held in our own hands so that we, as a country, can feed ourselves.
While verbal and written communication skills are important, nonverbal behaviors make up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal communication.
Good eye contact is an essential nonverbal communication skill. When people fail to look at others in the eye, it can seem as if they are trying to hide something. On the other hand, too much eye contact can seem aggressive. While eye contact is an important part of communication, ifs important to remember that good eye contact does not mean staring fixedly into someone's eyes. Some communication experts recommend intervals of eye contact lasting four to five seconds.
If you are confused about another person's nonverbal signals, don't be afraid to ask questions. A good idea is to repeat back your interpretation of what has been said and ask for clarification. An example of this might be: "So what you are saying is that..." Sometimes simply asking such questions can lend a great deal of clarity to a situation. For example, a person might be giving off certain nonverbal signals because he has something else on his mind.
Another important part of good nonverbal communication skills involves being able to take a more holistic approach to what a person is communicating. A single gesture can mean any number of things, or maybe even nothing at all. The key to accurately reading nonverbal behavior is to look for groups of signals that reinforce a common point. If you place too much emphasis on just one signal out of many, you might come to an inaccurate conclusion about what a person is trying to say.
According to some, a firm handshake indicates a strong personality while a weak handshake is taken as a lack of courage. This example illustrates an important point about the possibility of misreading nonverbal signals. A limp handshake might actually indicate something else entirely, such as arthritis (关节炎).Always remember to look for groups of behavior.
Facebook announced today that it exceeded (超越)one of its biggest environmental goals: it managed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 94 percent in 2020. It had previously promised to cut planet-heating emissions by 75 percent. The company said that it had also achieved its goal of "net zero emissions''.
Facebook also announced that it had achieved another goal: it now purchases enough renewable energy to cover 100 percent of its global operations, which includes its offices and data centers. But that doesn't mean that all of its operations are actually powered by renewables like solar and wind energy—at least not yet.
Renewable energy is on the rise, but most electricity grids (电网) still rely on fossil fuels. When companies can't purchase enough renewable energy from utilities because there isn't enough supply, they buy renewable energy certificates that signal that the company invested in renewable energy projects somewhere. Those projects can be located anywhere, and certificates have been sold for so cheap that experts say they don't really lead to more renewable energy production. Facebook also relies on renewable energy certificates, but it focuses on signing long-term contracts to support the construciion of new solar and wind developments in the same places where it operates. Is invested in 63 new renewable energy projects located on the same electrical grids as its data centers.
Facebook has recently also tried to limit misinformation about climate change on its platform. Last year, it launched a "Climate Science Information Center'' in some countries. In the UK this year, it started adding a label to some posts about climate change that redirect people to its information cenler. lt all comes on the heels of criticism from activists and policy makers over how misinformation about climate change festered on the site, including one famous case of Facebook re versing (撤丰肖)a ''false'' rating that its fact -checkers gave based on inaccurate information.
There are certain things that can only be learned through experiences. The benefit of having a mentor (导师) is one of the best examples. For the first time, I had someone not telling me what to do but helping me look at my options and finding an answer.
Through the Pearson Scholarship for Higher Education, I met my mentor, Lindsey Erlick. She wasn't so stubborn as I had thought. Instead of only talking about her experiences, she wanted to understand why I looked at things the way I did. Helping my mentor understand my perspective helped me better understand myself. This mentorship experience proved to me there is so much about me I never knew.
Growing up I was often taught to pursue things with a reward in mind. Moving away from the reward and trying things for the experience helped me to better understand what I really wanted to do with my life. I never knew how much potential I had until I was pushed to my limits. There were so many experiences I was passing up just because I was shy.
When my mentor shared her struggles, I think I realized how similar we really are. She battled stage fright just like me and seeing how she overcomes it every day in her job gave me the confidence that 1 could do it, too.
I realized that I loved being the change I wanted to see. My shyness melted away and I have confidence in voicing my beliefs. I joined various non - profit organizations that focused on helping the people in the community.
A. A mentoring relationship is valuable.
B. She was a very understanding person.
C. Communicating with others became a passion.
D. My experience as a learner was a key moment in my life.
E. I noticed my confidence brought about a sea of opportunities.
F. I gained opportunities to interact with my experienced mentor.
G My mentor often challenged me to find things I was passionate about.

"Multiple measures have been taken to stop illegal use of farmland,'' a Ministry of Natural Resources official (tell) a news conference on Monday.
Together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the ministry released two notices in July. One banned the illegal use of farmland real estate (地产)projects and the other sought (ensure) reasonable land use for housing construction in rural areas.
Since the release of the two notices, several regions (raise) public awareness about the legal use of farmland through short television (program) or online films in local dialects.
Inspections and law enforcement (执行)have also been strengthened in recent months, with satellite remote sensing being introduced.
"The central government has attached great (important) to farmland protection, the ministry said. Those involved in the illegal use, sale and transfer of permanent farmland covering more than 0.33 hectares or ordinary farmland covering more than 0.66 hectares will be sued. Farmland in China (classify) as permanent when its use for nonagricultural purposes is banned. Ordinary farmland can be used for other purposes in certain circumstances.
China will establish national territorial (领土的)planning system by the end of this year. It w山 be guided by three "red lines", one of will include about 103 million hectares of permanent farmland with the aim of boosting safety, improving quality and (prevent) nonagricultural use.
One of my most memorable trips took place during the summer vacation about three years ago, when my sister, my aunt and I took a trip to Spain because we were moving. On the day of the trip, I lay in bed thinking about my friends whom I was going to leave behind and thoughts were flooding in.
When we arrived at the hire station, we seemed to have some problems with our luggage because it was too much for a taxi, so we had to book a van （厢式送货车）to lake our luggage to the airport. We waited for a long period to find a perfect van that would fit our luggage.
Before leaving, I fell very bad because I was going to a different country and was going to miss all my friends and family. I was not comfortable and cried.
The journey was almost perfect at the beginning, but soon it began to rain. Because of the rain, the drivers could not see far away, which caused a huge traffic jam. I was sitting by the window with a can of Coke that I had bought in the store earlier. My aunt and sister fell asleep, and during this lime, I felt bored and thought about other things that bothered me. My eyes turned to the mountain in front of us.
A bus suddenly appeared in the picture. It was very close to us. Cars sped past us without any speed limit. Beside me was a very deep lake: I wondered to myself what if something or someone fell inside it. Suddenly, a bus in front of our van stopped, and because it was raining heavily and the van was going fast, no one could see what was going to happen. Then, bang, we bumped into each other. Our van overturned, but luckily, it didn't fall into the lake. People came to help us get out of the van because we were blocked and the driver was half-dead.

We struggled to get out of the van and everything we had was gone.

I was losing a lot of blood and then the emergency aid came.
