Food is extremely important to us human beings and rice is one of the main food in the world. Australian
21.(6分)
researchers have discovered a way to genetically engineer rice which would provide significant health benefits to more
than half the world’s population.
A study undertaken at the University of Tasmania, published in a respected journal of the National Academy of
Sciences, discovered a method to increase the resistant starch (
抗性淀粉)
content in rice, making it more digestible and
leading to lower rate of diabetes (
糖尿病)
and overweight.
Steven Smith, the lead author of the study and a foreign expert for the Chinese government who has been appointed
to work on crop improvement projects by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said increasing the higher resistant starch
content gave this “designer” rice many added health benefits. “We have discovered that we can increase the amount of
resistant starch in cooked rice, which could provide health benefits for a large number of people in Asia and beyond,”
Smith said in a media release on Friday. “The same approach can be adapted for use in other cereals, including wheat.
Not only can it have benefits for diabetes and obesity, but also for disorders of the bowel(
肠)
including cancer.”
Rice is the main food for more than half the world’s population, providing much of the world with most of their
calories. Smith said that as the rate of diabetes and obesity in Asian countries continued to grow, his “designer” rice
could provide a way to limit health problems.
“Not only does resistant starch reduce the possibility of a ‘sugar hit’ but it also reduces the appetite and promotes
the growth of the healthy germs.” Smith said.
Smith divides his time between the University of Tasmania and his research lab in Beijing where he hopes to make
significant advance in sustainable (
可持续的)
living.

In a nice cottage with a large garden in a small town of England, He was seen to water or fertilize his
flowers all the time. The garden was obviously well-tended and the flowers were so gorgeous that every passer-by would
stop fer a look. It was like a baby that was taken good care of.
One day a young painter went by the old man’s garden. He stared at the splendid garden and the special
cottage,completely lost in admiration at the beauty of these sights, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in such a
beautiful , suddenly he found the gardener was blind. Shocked, the painter approached him, asking, “Why
are you busy looking after these flowers every day but in fact you cannot see them?” The blind man smiled , “ I can
tell you some reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young. I saw the flowers every day and I really enjoy the job.
Second, although I can’t see these flowers now, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of to the last
one, that's you.” “Me? But you don’t know me.” responded the painter, puzzled still.
“Yeah, it’s true that I don’t know you. But I know flowers are like angels. I know many people who are enthusiastic
about life would stop by and the beauty of my garden will get them into a good mood. Meanwhile, They also give me a
chance to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.” The old man’s words
touched the painter.
He grew flowers and regarded them as a link of minds. Every flower had eyes with which they could see kindness of the
old man's heart and the sweetness of his soul. He grew flowers in his heart. Just like Beethoven, who was deaf, but
composed a sea of attractive tunes, the blind man created beauty for the world.

In Shanghai’s Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo
Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a
sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the
traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.
It’s the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu
Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer; who has made it her mission to help preserve China’s traditional ethnic music.
Several years ago, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled
through some of China’s remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups.
In the course other four- month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best
musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.
“I was shocked the beauty of what I heard-it was so good,” she says. “But it needed support. I hope to let people see
the beauty of these things in the contemporary times.”
So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (
再次
点燃
) the interest of the younger generation. “Young people don’t like this music much; they prefer pop music and love
