Read the passage and answer the questions. Pay attention to the expressions in bold.
More than 40 years ago, China began to implement the reform and opening-up policy, starting out on a journey that would pave the way for China to become a fully-modernised socialist country. The policy has had a great influence on Chinese society. It has allowed China to accomplish in just four decades what took Western industrialised countries more than 200 years to achieve, breaking new ground in the history of human achievement. This ongoing journey is allowing China to share the fruits of its success and develop further alongside other countries. What’s more, the Belt and Road Initiative will mean a new dawn for trade and investment between countries, leading into a new era of prosperity.
