21、 In a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, Dieudonne Twahirwa looks nothing like the traditional African farmer. The 30-year-old owner of Gashora Farm knows what a difference that makes.
“You need more role models, " he said, standing among knee-high rows of chilli （辣椒)plants. "If you have young farmers, they have land and they drive to the farm, others may think, “Why can't I do that?”
Mr. Twahirwa, a university graduate, bought a friend's tomato farm six years ago for $ 150. He made $ 1,500 back in two months, "You have to link farming with entrepreneurship (创业者)and real numbers, he said.
Many young Africans are abandoning areas in the countryside, choosing not to work hard and for a long time in fields — a job made tougher by climate change.
But Twahirwa is one of the growing band of successful farmers working to make agriculture's image on the continent more attractive. Some 1,000 farmers now produce chillies for him. He is starting a fourth farm of his own, and exports fresh and dried chillies and oil to Britain, the United States, India and Kenya.
Africa has the world’s youngest population and 65 percent uncultivated arable land (耕地后备资源). Yet accessing land and loans is difficult, and African productivity is low with crop profits just 56 percent of the international average.
Agriculture is mainly associated with suffering and no young person wants to suffer," said Tamara Kaunda. She believes African agriculture needs a change to get rid of its old-fashioned image of very hard and tiring work with a hoe. "Show young people with tractors, green fields, nice irrigation systems smart phones, she said.
Getting young people involved in agriculture does not mean they have to work on a farm. For example, in coffee production, the beans go from the farm to the washing station, then to be separated from the husks (外壳).
【1】What does “Why can't I do that?” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Why can't they farm? B.Why can't I drive to the farm?
C.They'll buy a friend’s tomato farm. D.They'll follow the example of those farmers.
【2】What makes it harder for fanners to work?
A.Poor land. B.Climate change.
C.Low income. D.Long working hours.
【3】What can we learn about Twahirwa according to Paragraph 5 ?
A.He focuses on marketing. B.He has made a fortune by growing chillies.
C.He is the most successful farmer. D.The locals aren't willing to buy his chillies.
【4】What is the current situation of the agriculture in Africa?
A.It calls for more fanners. B.It needs to grow more coffee.
C.It lacks farming land. D.It should change its conventional image.
22、Middle school students in Valdosta are learning the importance of agriculture.
Lowndes County Extension agent (代理人) Joshua Dawson, helped seventh-grade students attending J. L. Newbern Middle School build raised bed plant boxes to grow crops. Dawson’s work with the school gardens began in 2014 as a part of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project. Through support from local businesses and members of the community, it is used to introduce Valdosta elementary and middle school students to gardening and agriculture.
Some of the crops grown in the gardens include sweet potatoes, collards, carrots and kale. The harvested (收获的) produce is served by the schools’ dining rooms during lunch and students are allowed to take produce home depending on the harvest size.
Helping Dawson with the gardens are members of the local Master Gardener program. With his daily responsibilities as a County Extension agent, Dawson depends heavily on their support. “Without the Master Gardeners, I don’t know if any of this would be possible. They look after the gardens and work with the teachers more closely than I, and provide necessary feet on the ground for a lot of things,” Dawson said.
At the beginning, the students expressed worries about working in the garden, but Dawson said those doubts disappeared quickly. “I like watering the plants and working with the soil” said Anthony Aikens, a seventh-grader Anthony, who said his favorite subject is science, wants to be a zoologist or a full-time gardener when he grows up.
Dr Elena Ponder, principal of J. L. Newbern Middle School, said this project has attracted many students. She said working in the garden provides students with a cross-curriculum (交叉课程) where they apply different skills to solve problems. “Once you plant a garden, you have to attend to that garden. That shows you have the work ethic (职业道德), patience and time to put into something. That will translate into work-related skills they can apply to jobs in the future,” she said.
【1】What is the purpose of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project?
A．To serve students healthy lunches with home-grown vegetables.
B．To share the latest agricultural information with local farmers.
C．To let students know more about gardening and farming.

A．By introducing him to Dr. Elena Ponder.
B．By helping him take care of the gardens.
C．By training him in gardening.
D．By raising money for him.
【3】What was the students’ attitude to the project at first?
A．Doubtful.
B．Supportive.
C．Uninterested.
D．Hopeful.
【4】What did Dr. Elena Ponder say about the project?

23、If you've ever been to a social gathering, you might feel awkward and uncomfortable. While social gatherings can be very enjoyable, especially when you are surrounded by people whose company you enjoy, there are social events that you sometimes find yourself wishing you were someplace else. Such occasions can sometimes be the cause of much anxiety and self-consciousness. You may even feel like everyone else is having a good time except for you. Yet the truth is that everyone has felt shy and awkward on occasion. One of the best ways to overcome self-consciousness or get past your feelings of shyness at social gatherings is to focus on the people around you. If you can remember that other people might also be feeling awkward or shy, you might find the thought of speaking to them less overwhelming.
The next time there is a social event you feel nervous about attending, you may want to try this exercise: Spend some time with your eyes closed and breathe deeply. When you feel ready, create your own zone of comfort by visualizing yourself surrounded in a warm white light that is protective yet accepting of others. Imagine people at the event being drawn to you because of the open and warm feelings that you are showing. When you arrive at the event, take a moment to spread this same light of loving acceptance to everyone around you.
Smile and greet people warmly. Try going up to someone who is standing alone and introduce yourself. When you show acceptance and openness, people can't help but respond to you in kind.
Focusing on how we can make other people at a social gathering feel at ease can help us forget about our own insecurities. The next time you attend a social gathering, invite people to join you in your zone of comfort that you have so lovingly and intentionally created. Let yourself enjoy being encircled in the warmth of their friendships.
