In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty (自由) Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor (雕塑家) named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was made by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one­hundredth anniversary of U．S. independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.
As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.

Yuan Longping, “father of hybrid rice”， had a dream that he cultivated rice as plump (饱满的) as peanuts, and farmers could relax in the cool shadow of big rice plants.
Yuan won a 5 million yuan State Supreme Science and Technology Award when he was 71 years old, known as the Nobel Prize in China, for his outstanding achievements in breeding high­yield hybrid rice, which has greatly increased ChinA s grain output. A minor planet was named after him, which was the first time a Chinese scientist's name is so valued.
Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the 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. Yuan in his 80s has devoted most of his life to growing rice.
He hopes to popularize the hybridizing rice around the world to remove starvation on earth. In 1980, Yuan went to the United States to share his knowledge about the cultivation technology of hybrid rice. He has done a lot to bring his research methods to other countries.
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 he insisted that the amount of hybrid rice's per unit yield is still more important than the quality, for his first task is to improve the grain reserve in developing countries.
