阅读理解 Rick Hoyt was born in 1962 to Dick and Judy Hoyt. He is in a wheelchair because he's got cerebral palsy(小儿麻痹症). As a result, Rick couldn't walk or speak. There was no chance of Rick recovering, and little hope for Rick to live a "normal" life. However, with great effort, Rick learned to write his thoughts using a special computer. When Rick was 15, he communicated to his dad that he wanted to take part in a five mile running race for charity. Dick was not a runner but agreed to push Rick in his wheelchair. That night, Rick told his father, "Dad, when I'm running, it feels like I'm not handicapped." After high school, Rick went to Boston University, and he graduated with a degree in Special Education in 1993. Rick is a happy and successful man; he has a job at the University of Boston, and he works in computer studies. Rick loves sports too, and he takes part in marathons and triathlons(铁人三项运动). Triathlons? In the triathlon, people swim 4 kilometers, cycle 180 kilometers and then run a 42- kilometer marathon. Rick can't run, cycle or swim because he's in a wheelchair. So how can he take part in a triathlon? Rick can take part because he does it with his father, Dick Hoyt. In the running, his father pushes him in his wheelchair. In the swimming, Rick lies in a small boat and Dick swims and pulls him. And in the cycling, Rick sits in a special seat on the front of Dick's bike. Together, they are "Team Hoyt." Of course, Team Hoyt never wins the race. The winner of a triathlon usually finishes in about nine hours. The Hoyts usually take about 14 or 15 hours. "That's right." says Dick. "Rick and I never win. But we think that we always win." Dick Hoyt, who became a familiar sight pushing his son Rick in a wheelchair at road races around the country, especially the Boston Marathon, died on Wednesday at his home in Holland, Mass. He was 80. Rick was once asked, if he could give his father one thing, what would it be? Rick responded, "The thing I'd most like doing for my dad is that _______________

Seiichi Sano, an 89-year -old Japanese man, rides a wave at Katase Nishihama Beach, Thursday, March 30, 2023. He has been recognized as the oldest male to surf (冲浪) by the Guinness World Records.

But maybe he will just keep surfing. "I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I' m 100," Sano said. "I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before. "

Chess is a complex (复杂的) game that takes a lot of thought, skill and strategy. Winning the title of "National Chess Master" is quite an honor, but it's an even greater achievement for a child to make—especially one that has lost half of his brain.

17-year-old Griffin McConnell recently won the title of National Chess Master after undergoing (经受) his fourth brain operation.

As a young child, Griffin was interested in chess. He started playing at just four years old and never stopped, even when faced with several terrible brain operations.

Griffin suffered from severe seizures (突然发作) that were affecting his quality of life, which is what prompted (促使) the brain operations in the first place. When they didn't seem to be effective enough, Griffin and his medical team made the decision to do a hemispherectomy (大脑半球切除术). During the risky hemispherectomy, doctors carefully removed around a quarter of the left side of Griffin's brain and separated the rest from the right half of his brain.

Griffin had to relearn how to walk and speak and do everything on his own again! It was a slow, painful journey and he never used his right arm and hand freely following the operation. However, one thing he picked back up pretty quickly after the hemispherectomy was chess.

Griffin said, "It's kind of interesting because I feel like chess is one part of me, and that's why I did so well. It's interesting because I wanted to relearn chess more than I wanted to walk or talk."

Despite the challenges Griffin faced, he went on to win one chess match after another. Recently, he even won the Colorado Scholastic Championship!

What an inspirational young man!

Yuan Longping is a great scientist who is the first person to develop hybrid rice(杂交水稻). His research greatly solved the problem of the food shortage in the world.

Yuan Longping started the research in 1964. When his requirement to build a research center was agreed to, he was very excited. He put forward the idea of hybrid rice, did experiments (实验)on the farm, and succeeded in 1973. The new technology was tested in many areas of South China in 1974, and then he continued to test it in other areas. China has become the first country that can produce hybrid rice. Yuan made it possible to grow hybrid rice in large amounts (量), and he is called "Father of Hybrid Rice".

Besides being a respected scientist, he is also a romantic husband and a caring grandfather.

Yuan's granddaughters remembered that when he traveled to Hong Kong, he wanted to buy his wife a new watch, but it was too expensive, so he bought a candy instead. When he was 90 years old, his family held a birthday party. Hundreds of people came to the party. There was a moving moment: Yuan cut the first piece of cake and immediately gave it to his wife. They also said that their grandfather paid much attention to their English and math studies. No matter how tired he was after work, he would still ask about their studies.
