阅读回答问题Answer the questions according to the passage. (必须使用完整语句作答)

A Pioneer for all People

Though he was one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considered himself a farmer, because he worked the land to do his research.

Known as “Father of Hybrid Rice (杂交水稻)”, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural (农业的) College in 1953. From then on, finding ways to grow more rice was his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice production. At that time, hunger was a serious problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to get more rice with the same size of the fields. In 1974, he became an agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has high production and that is called super hybrid rice. In the 1980s, he went around the world and gave advice about growing rice to farmers in other countries. In 2004, he won the World Food Prize for his work.

Dr Yuan was quite satisfied with his life. He would much rather keep time for his hobbies. He enjoyed playing the violin, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself meant very little to him, so he gave millions of yuan to help some researchers with their research in farming.

Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum (高粱) . With his hard work, he grew the rice that could feed more people. President Xi Jinping praised him for his great contributions (贡献) to China's food safety and world corn development.

For a long time, it's been discussed whether students should be allowed to watch TV during the week. I am here to say yes.

After a little bit of careful thinking, parents will realize that watching TV after school is a good way for students to relax.  We not only have more homework, but also have many other things to do after school. There is tutoring（课外辅导）, sports clubs and so on. When we get home, we are tired. All we really want to do is to give our brains a break.

 They had few choices. Most of the programs were silly. Today we usually have over a hundred programs to choose from. In one hour, we can learn about ancient Egypt and planets traveling around other stars. TV can be educational.

Lastly, today's students use TV watching as a prize for finishing their homework. Television does not keep us from our homework. Instead, it encourages us to do it.

So, students should be allowed to watch TV on school nights. Do you agree with me?

A. It shows us more things than textbook can.

B. Parents also remember what TV was like in the old days.

C. Television is not the enemy, old ideas are!

D. This is totally different from the way our parents used television.

E. Our lives are busier than our parents' when they went to school.
