The figure is a 53 percent increase over this year's 720 million yuan. Deputy Agriculture Minister Wei Chao'an made the pledge yesterday at the Farmer Scientific Literacy Forum held in Beijing. "From next year, the budget will be significantly increased each year," Wei said. The investment will go towards implementing the National Scheme for Science Literacy, which was announced in February this year. The scheme aims to improve scientific literacy in China and make it a policy priority. Wei said the money will be mainly spent in helping farmers develop new technological skills to cope with market fluctuations, as well as industrial skills. So far this year, 8.6 million farmers have received training and education initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture. Wei noted, however, that despite continued efforts to improve farmers' science and technology skills, only 9.1 percent, or about 700 million, have ever participated in various science and technology training programs. The programs are also nm by other governmental and non-governmental organizations such as the Ministry of Science and Technology and the China Association for Science and Technology. The average Chinese farmer only receives 7.3 years of education. CAST, the Ministry of Agriculture and other government departments, will continue to explore ways to combine scientific education and training to improve agricultural production skills, Deng Nan, first secretary of CAST, told the forum.

听力原文: When Midori was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to her mother, a 38-year-old professional musician. "Please don't touch, Midori," her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than 20, 000 dollars. But Midori persisted. She longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was handed a package, a tiny violin, about half the normal size. Almost from the moment Midori was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practised together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though, she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, She persisted till the problem was overcome. One day, Johnson, an American musician; heard Midori play the violin. He couldn't believe she was just eight years old. "She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States, "the American musician said. A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for full scholarship. In 1982, Midori and her mother moved to New York City, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.
