Most people get interested and ask questions. But one person took his interest all the way to the fields. He was born in the flowering season of early summer, and made plants his life. This person was Wang Wencai.2 For over 70 years, Professor Wang explored China’s plants with great passion and hard work. 开展研究在偏僻的山林里度过了数年手拿着放大镜，他继续深耕研究…… 很少考虑个人荣誉或财富 几乎没有提及这件事 He discovered and named about 1,370 new plant species. To carry out his research, he spent years in wild mountains and forests. Once, he fell seriously ill while doing field work in Yunnan. Though he nearly died, Wang never stopped his work. He lost sight in his right eye at the age of 83. But he didn't let anybody know. With a magnifier in hand, he still carried on with his research for another 10 years.3 Despite his huge success, Wang seldom thought about personal honour or wealth. Although he received the First Class Award of National Natural Science Awards twice, he hardly mentioned it. 甚至他的孙女都不知道。王教授也是如此。（倒装句）他一生对大自然的探索和热爱 For him, the award belonged to the team, and he was just doing his job. In fact, Wang was always quiet about his achievements. He was such a great scientist. But for a long time, even his granddaughter had no idea.4 Plants grow and sleep with the seasons. So did Professor Wang. He passed away at the age of 96 with the falling leaves of autumn. When people came to say goodbye, they didn't hear any sad notes. Instead, they got to listen to Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. This was Wang's favourite piece of music. It softly told people about his lifelong exploration and love of nature.be born in...出生于……初夏make... one's life把……当作一生的事业 with great passion and hard work 带着激情，努力工作carry out research开展研究 carry on (with sth) 继续做；坚持干患重病野外考察lose sight 失明 巨大的成功let sb. know让某人知道属于keep/be quiet about sth对……守口如瓶；不声张 去世终身探索explore v. 探索；考察exploration n. 探究;探索 win/receive/get an award 赢得 / 得到 / 获得奖项Pay attention to the following expressions.post-readingWritingWrite a story about a nature explorer.Write the story with the help of the table.Think of a story about a nature explorer and complete the table.1) What did he/she plan to explore?2) What difficulties did he / she meet?3) What was the result?What's your opinion of him / her?Jane Goodall, a famous animal explorer from Englandfor over 60 years Africa1) She planned to study chimpanzees in the wild and understand their behavior.very hot weather in the forest/dangerous animals/lived alone in the jungle/...She discovered chimpanzees could make and use tools.She wrote many books about chimpanzees. ...patient, brave, and kindHer love for animals inspires me to care for nature.Jane Goodall is a famous animal explorer from England.
