She saw many poor people l i vi ng near her and she wanted to hel p them . O ne day she was asked to vi si t a prison . At fi rst the pri son offi cers di d not want to l et her vi si t the wom en pri soners because they feared the pri soners woul d attack her, but Eli zabeth was not afrai d. She real ized that the pri soners behave badl y because they were treated l ike anim als. They had no beds, cl ean cl othes, food or heati ng. Any chi l d born in pri son had to stay there and had no chance of an educati on. Thi s m eant they woul d probabl y have to beg or steal when they grew up and then woul d return to pri son. So the fi rst thi ng Eli zabeth di d was to provi de food, cl ean cl othes and straw for beds. Later she began a pri son school for the chi l dren and taught the wom en to sew, kni t and m ake goods to sel l. In thi s way they abl e to m ake a li ttl e m oney for them sel ves and gai n som e sel frespect. Her l i ndnesshel ped her gai n the fri endshipof pri soners and they began to try to i mprove thei r condi ti ons for them sel ves. Later El i zabeth was asked to go to the l eaders of Bri tain to discuss how to i mprove the conditi ons for pri soners。 O f course she di d not do al l the work on her ther Quaker wom en hel ped her and went around the country rai si ng m oney for her wprk. Som e peopl e di d not li ke her i deas and quarel ed wi th her. They sai d that she shoul d spend m ore tim e wi th her fam il y. O ther peopl e sai d she enjoyed bei ng fam ous toom owever, her husband, Joseph, supported and encouraged her, so she conti nued worki ng to hel p i m prove the li ves of poor pri soners til lshe di ed. H er i deas di d not di sappear after her death and her work was rem em bered i n 1947 when the Quakers were given the N obl e Peace Pri ze. Uni t 2 A pi oneer for al l peopl e Al though he i s one of China’s m ost fam ous sci enti sts, Yuan Longpi ng consi ders hi msel f a farm er, for he works the l and to do hi s research. Indeed, hi s sunburnt face and arm s and hi s slim , strong body are just l ike those of m il li ons of Chi nese farmers, for whom he has struggl ed for the past fice decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is cal ed super hybri d ri ce. In 1974, he becam e the fi rst agri cul tural pi oneer i n the worl d to grow Ri ck that has a hi gh output. Thi s special strai n of Ri ck m akes i t possi bl e to produce onethird m ore of the crop i n the sam e fi el ds. Now m ore than 60% of the ri ce produced i n Chi na each year i s from thi s hybri d strai n. Born i nto a poor farm er’s fam il y i n 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agri cultural Col l ege i n 1953. Si nce then, fi ndi ng ways to grow m ore ri ce has been hi s l i fe goal. As a young m an, he saw the great need for i ncresi ng the ri ce output. At that tim e, hunger was a di sturbi ng probl em i n m any parts of the countrysi de. Dr Yuan searched for a way to i ncrease ri ce harvests wi thout expanding the area of the fi el ds. In 1950, Chi nese farm ers coul d produce onl y fi fty mi l i on tons of ri ce. In a recent harvest, however, nearl y two hundred mi l i on tons of ri ce was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of thwart worl d’s peopl e are fed from just 7% of the farml and i n Chi na. Dr Yuan i s now ci rcul ati ng hi s knowledge i n Indi a, Vi etnam and m any other l ess devel oped countri es to increase thei r ri ce harvests. Thanks to hi s research, farm ers are produci ng harvests twi ce as large as before. Dr Yuan i s qui te sati sfi ed with hi s li fe. H owever, he doesn39。t care about being fam ous.
