年 级:高二年级
学 科:高中英语(人教版)
By the end of the class, the students
will be able to:
1. give a report on people who persevere
based on an outline;
2. learn to overcome the difficulties
and persevere when encountering adversity.
Project: Give a report on people who persevere
Activity 1: Lead in
Ernest Shackleton
Ernest Shackleton went on an expedition to Antarctic on the ship Endurance, during which he met a lot of difficulties, leaving some of his crew members on Elephant Island. However, Shackleton never gave up and finally succeeded in rescuing his crew members.
Shackleton is a man who has encountered adversity
but has persevered.
persevere: continue trying to achieve something
despite difficulties
Activity 2: Discuss in groups
Brainstorm and make a list of more people who have encountered adversity but have persevered and overcome the difficulties.

1. Why did Yuan Longping value the title so much this time
2. What was Yuan Longping’s dream
To train the talent for all countries, especially for developing countries,
was one of his lifelong wishes.
His dream was that his super hybrid rice plant as high as the sorghum,
and the panicle as large as the broom, and the grain as big as the peanuts.

Activity 5: Turn your outline into a report
Recognized as the “father of hybrid rice”, Yuan Longping was born in Beijing in 1930 and graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. In order to deal with the problem of food shortages due to the severe famine at that time, he made up his mind to study rice breeding.
In 1966, “the three-line matching method” was first proposed by Mr Yuan. Nevertheless, it’s awfully tough to remove stamens manually for the mass production of hybrid seeds, because rice was a kind of plant from self-pollination. In addition, heterosis featured obviously only in the first generation of hybrids, which must be prepared for every planting cycle.
Activity 5: Turn your outline into a report
These difficulties, however, motivated Mr Yuan and his team to research more. In 1970, they eventually discovered “wild abortive”. With the development of the three-line breeding method, Mr Yuan continued to pursue breakthroughs to make the process of seed production easier.
Mr Yuan Longping generates high-yield hybrid rice by proposing plant genetic theories and achieving practical field production. His legacy is not only the progress of hybrid rice — but his curiosity, devotion, courage, perseverance, diligence, cooperation and selflessness have left an indelible spiritual wealth to us all.
