中国农民说，吃饭靠“两平”，一靠邓小平---制定了生产承包责任制的政策，二靠袁隆平---发明了杂交稻。
袁隆平，男，１９３０年９月出生于北京，１９５３年毕业于西南农学院农学系。毕业后，一直从事农业教育及杂交水稻研究。
在中国人民正闹饥荒的20世纪60年代，袁隆平提出了杂交水稻的概念，这种新型水稻具有高产量的特点。10年后，他研制成功了一种产量比一般水稻高出20%的新型水稻。
袁隆平一生献身于农业研究，先后受到联合国教科文组织、粮农组织的称誉。2014年1月10日，在北京人民大会堂，袁隆平和他的团队凭借“两系法杂交水稻技术研究与应用”项目捧回国家科技进步特等奖，这是袁隆平第二次登上国家最高科技奖的领奖台。 袁隆平人物简历

( about 100-120
words long) Homework 教学反思
本节课是人教版高中英语必修四第二单元。本单元的中心话题是“农业”。通过本节课的学习，我在教学方面有如下几点反思：1．熟悉课程词汇，有助于扫除阅读和理解障碍；唐诗《悯农》引入，让学生对中心话题---“农业”产生亲近感。这一部分，采用了word-guessing, 锻炼了阅读理解能力之一，保证了知识能力目标的达成。
2. 适量插入图片，形象生动地将矛盾呈现：耕地不足和人口增长对粮食需求增加。继而引出本文人物---袁隆平，并将其简介课件体现，让学生了解其主要成就。
3. 文章主体部分的阅读逐段击破，采用了scanning, careful reading 等基本阅读技巧。问题设计形式多样，包括寻找细节信息，填表，排序，选择，问答等，有利于不同层次学生的理解梯度，对于文章的深层理解基本达到教学目标。
4. 读后brain storm，通过小组讨论及组间竞赛summarize伟大农学家袁隆平博士的高尚品质，学生表现踊跃，情感价值观目标有所收获。
5. 本节课围绕“任务型”教学原则，无论图片、文字均以促进学生思考为导向，思维容量大，目标达成度较高。
几点遗憾：
1 应尽量全英教学，不能因为学生的一些要求而降低课堂语言标准，要让学生适应讲英语的课堂。
2 课堂大声朗读英语的机会少，不利于学生语感以及语音能力的培养。
3 问题的探究仍可以继续深入，比如借袁隆平的生活态度来折射我们自己的生活。还是应该鼓励更多学生课堂活跃积极地表达自己。
4 如果能把短文练笔放在课中而非课后效果应该好很多。
