A minor planet was named after him, which was the first time a Chinese scientist's name is so valued.Yuan came up with the idea of hybridizing rice for the first time in the 1960s. Since then, 50 percent of ChinA s total rice cultivation fields have grown such rice, which added some 300 billion kilograms to the country's grain output. Yuan in his 80s has devoted most of his life to growing rice.He hopes to popularize the hybridizing rice around the world to remove starvation on earth. In 1980, Yuan went to the United States to share his knowledge about the cultivation technology of hybrid rice. He has done a lot to bring his research methods to other countries.Some people asked him to move the focus of his research from improving amounts of hybrid rice to the quality and taste, which would be easier to do. But he insisted that the amount of hybrid rice's per unit yield is still more important than the quality, for his first task is to improve the grain reserve in developing countries.5．Yuan Longping wanted to research hybridizing rice ________.A. in his 60s B. in the 1960sC. in his 70s D. in 1980答案与解析　B　细节理解题。
