When I was in the seventh grade, I helped take care of the sick people at a hospital in my town. Most of the time I spend there was with Mr. Green. He never had any visitors and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine though he was in a coma(昏迷).
I left for a one-week holiday with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Green was gone. I was afraid to ask any of the nurses where he was. Several years later, I was a student in high school. One day when I was at a bus station. I noticed a familiar (熟悉的) face. When I realized who it was, I couldn’t stop crying. I asked him if his name was Mr. Green and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an unsure look on his face, he replied ‘yes’. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours taking with him in the hospital. His eyes were also full of tears and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received. He began to tell me about his story. He said he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, not a person, who was here with him. Mr. Green believed that it was my voice and my touch that kept him alive. Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference in his life. More important, he has made a big difference in my life.

Every scientist has a childhood dream. A scientist in China once had a dream. He wished to grow a new type of rice. This new type of rice would be as big as peanuts. This person is Yuan Longping—"Father" of Hybrid rice(杂交水稻).
Yuan Longping was born in 1930. He graduated from the Southwest Agricultural (农业) University in 1953. He came up with an idea for a Hybrid rice in the 1960s. Since then, he has devoted himself to research and to the development of new varieties.
In 1973, together with other people, he succeeded in the development of Hybrid rice. This made China a worldwide leader in rice production(生产). In 1980, the technology (技术) for hybrid, rice was introduced to the United States. Now his "super rice" has been introduced to more than 20 other countries.
Because of Professor Yuan's hard work, China now produces enough rice to feed her people every year. Last November an online survey showed that most Chinese believed that Yuan deserved (应得) a Nobel Peace Prize.
In his spare time, Yuan Longping loves playing the violin and listening to music. Every night, he reads for half an hour before he goes to sleep. He likes swimming, too. It is said that Professor Yuan is one of the richest people in China. But he cares about nothing but his research.

Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers. There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe (贿赂) him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.
Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't. I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner - that kind from his or her homeland — won't go wrong, except to government employees (政府职员) who can't be given presents.
You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, "It's so nice. Thanks…" when you get Christmas or birthday presents.
You may want to bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) or flowers to a dinner party, but you're never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.
At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year- doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders— anyone who has often helped us.
