Why are scientific achievements important? Look at the list of achievements in the Warming up. How do they improve our daily life? How do they improve society? 3. Why do scientists spend so much time trying to achieve something? Whatever great achievements the future may have in store for China, it is likely that many of them will be born in northwestern Beijing. Zhongguancun, in Beijing’s Haidian District, is the new center for Chinese science and technology. It is home to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and more than ten famous universities, including Peking University and Tsinghua University. Zhongguancun was set up as a special economic zone in the late 1990s and quickly became the leader of China’s hi-tech industry. The science center got started in the early 1980s, when Chen Chunxian, a researcher at the Chinese Academuy of Sciences opened a private research and development institute. Within the nest ten years, more than a hundred scientific and hi-tech companies moved into the area and new hi-tech centers developed around the original Zhongguancun area. They all have their own characteristics, but they all share the spirit of creativity and scientific skill that have made Zhongguancun a success. The science park is also home to a growing numver of overseas Chinese who have grasped the opportunity to develop their ideas at home. Xiang Yufang is one of those who have returned to China after studying and working abroad. Zhongguancun made it possible for him to follow his dreams and help the country he loves. “ I studied abroad because I wanted to see more of the world and work with some of the top scientists in my field. I never felt really comfortable abroad, and I missed everything about China. When I got my master’s degree, I wanted to return home but couldn’t find a company where I could use what I had learnt. I worked abroad for a few years and then I heard about Zhongguancun. I knew it was perfect for me.” Yufang talked to some friends from his university in Beijing and they helped arrange for his return. He left his job in the foreign company and came back to Beijing. “ I was so happy. It was wonderful, like a dream come true. I could do the work I wanted to do and do something good for my country at the same time. I will never forget how happy I was when I set foot in China again and was back with my friends and family.” Zhongguancun has had a positive effect on business as well as science. Today, there are more than 8,000 hi-tech companies. The park is home to Chinese computer giants Lenovo and Founder and more than twenty famous international companies. One of the mottos for the park --- “Relying on science, technology and knowledge to increase economic power”--- makes it clear that science and business and must work together to build the future. Another motto helps explain the success of the park: “ Encouraging pioneering work and accepting failure.” Great scientific achievements are the results of years of failure, years of trying to create something that has never existed before. The researchers and scientists in Zhongguancun know that they can only reach the top if they are ready to deal with and learn from failure. Not all the new companies can succeed, but the spirit and creativity they represent are more important than money. As Yufang puts it: “We are not making that much money yet, but we are excited about all the new technology and great ideas that are coming to life in Zhongguancun.” I Choose the correct answers.

SOLVING THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE China has long been a leader in the field of genetic research aimed at improving agriculture. One of the most important achievements is a new kind of rice which allows farmers to increase production. Over the past twenty years, China also became part of an international research programme which examined the human body. In 2000, Chinese scientists announced that they had completed their part of the international human genome project, proving that Chinese scientists are among the world’s best. E-VOLUTION It seems to be love at first byte for China and computers. The Internet is becoming increasingly popular and a new high-speed broadband network was recently started. Chinese computer engineers have also developed the supercomputer shenwei, one of the world’s fastest computers, and built the nation’s first humanoid robot. FIGHTING CANCER For the first time ever, scientists have been able to create a chemical element that can fight cancer cells. The breakthrough, made by scientists in Shanghai, gives hope to cancer patients all over the world and makes China one of the world leaders in the battle against the deadly disease. Work in groups.
