It's March in Africa. On the farm, local people are dancing and singing to celebrate their recent harvest. Their hard work has paid off and got beautiful fruit — white and fragrant rice!
This is the second farm in Xai-Xai, Mozambique, where Yi Yun from Liaoning, China,has been working for several years. He followed his Chinese company here as a project manager. The company runs a project to grow rice on the farm, which covers about 1,667 hectares.
“When we first arrived in 2017, the farm was full of weeds, as tall as a man,” said Yi. After clearing the weeds, the company began to teach locals farming skills. “We taught them how to drive tractors (拖拉机) and harvesters, and how to grow rice step by step including sowing seeds and spraying pesticide.”
Since 2000, when the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation started, an increasing number of Chinese companies and organizations have gone to Africa to work in the agriculture industry. “We bring in new techniques, equipment and high-quality seeds,” said Yi.
“Local people are happy that we are here because we not only help them solve food problems but also provide job opportunities,” said Yi. “Our farm can employ 500 to 1,000 local people. Their living conditions have been greatly improved in recent years. Some families have even bought televisions and fridges.”
“African people are just as hard-working as the Chinese and also want to pursue a better life. What they need is more opportunities, which China is now helping with. I'm proud of what my country is doing,” Yi said.

Who are your friends? Are they all similar in age to you? 8 But you can widen your social circle and gain life-enriching benefits by becoming friends with someone younger or older than you. Having friends of different ages can greatly improve the quality of your life.
Having older friends can change your attitude towards life because they have already gone through the challenges you are facing. They have been young parents, have survived a job loss, and can help you get through these changes in your own life. 9 Then you'll feel more ready for what's coming in future stages.
When older people make friends with younger people, they get to share their experiences which can be very rewarding. 10 Giving your wisdom and attention makes you feel better.It gives you meaning and is good for your mental health.Having younger friends can also make you feel younger by including new ideas and energy in your life.
11 While making new friends may seem frightening, it's actually easier than you think.You can first think about your acquaintances or co-workers and see if any one of them shares your values and interests and would make a good friend.Then see if you can make a coffee date.Besides, you can consider joining in a class that your co-worker or acquaintance participates in that you think you will enjoy. 12

8.选D 下文提到了和比自己年长或年轻的人交朋友的好处。由此可知,空处是过渡句,应起到承上启下的作用。故D项“当然,和同龄人交朋友是很正常的”与空前相呼应,且与空后内容形成转折,符合语境。
9.选G 上文讲到有年长的朋友的一个好处,空后提到这样你就会为接下来的阶段做更好的准备。由此可知,空处应引入有年长的朋友的另一个好处。故G项“年长的朋友还可以帮助你提前体验某种生活经历”承上启下,符合语境。

11.选C 从空处所在位置可知,该空内容应是对段落内容的概括与总结。根据下文内容可知,该段主要介绍了结交年长或更年轻的朋友的方法。故C项“那么你如何结交跨代朋友呢?”准确概括了本段主旨。
12.选F 根据空前的内容可知,该段主要介绍了如何结交年长或更年轻的朋友。空处也应是结交年长或更年轻的朋友的一个方法。故F项“参加志愿服务等活动也被认为是一个有效方法”承接上文,符合语境。
