广东珠海文园中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期第三次月考英语测试卷
Wu Mingzhu is a 94-year-old expert at growing melons(瓜), and she recently returned to Turpan, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where she worked for many years. The local people welcomed her with warm smiles and cheers.
Wu was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and she graduated(毕业) from Southwest University in 1953. Two years later, she decided to help farmers in Xinjiang grow melons, even though the working conditions were really difficult back then.
She spent three years visiting more than 300 farms to learn about the best ways to grow melons. In 1973, she opened a special center in Hainan Province to improve melon breeding(培育). Thanks to Wu and her team, about 80 percent of the watermelons and sweet melons we eat today come from their hard work over more than 60 years!
Even though Wu has some trouble remembering her family members because of her illness, she feels happy whenever someone mentions"melon". It reminds her of all the fun and important work she did with melons during her whole life.
