二、阅读理解。(中国菠萝之乡徐闻·人与社会—历史、社会与文化—社会的发展与变迁)
Xuwen, a small county in the south of Guangdong, is called the “hometown of pineapples” in China. One in three pineapples sold in the country come from this place. There, farmers produced(生产) about 780，000 tons of pineapples in 2022. But what makes Xuwen so successful
In 2019, the Guangdong government introduced a marketing system(市场体系) for pineapples grown in Xuwen and set up a special working group to make it happen. They called it “12221”， including the following five parts: “one” database of agricultural products(农产品数据库); “two” teams, namely buyers and producers; “two” marketing areas, sales areas and production areas; “two” activities, helping buyers into the production area and agricultural products into the market; and “one” goal — rural revitalization(乡村振兴).
“12221” project(项目) sent the fruit to bigger markets by finding buyers and improving the business sense of growers as well as using big data to guide Xuwen to produce and sell. “It helped farmers understand the market better，” said Liu Yicun, who used to work at the Xuwen government.
Pineapples have also brought many visitors to Xuwen, helping the development of the local tourism industry. “Much like film locations become a calling card for different cities, the local food plays an important part when young tourists choose where to go，” said Feng Rao, director of Mafengwo.
Xuwen has changed a lot. This is thanks to the government and those who have devoted__themselves__to the development of the countryside.

be short and thin, but now I am
strong and tall. In the past, I was a silent girl. Now I'm outgoing. I used to hate doing sports but now I run in the playground every day.
One important change is that I'm not afraid of giving speeches in public anymore. I used to be so shy that I made few friends. With the
encouragement of my parents, I made up my mind to change myself. Finally, I made it by practicing my speech in front of my parents twice a week.
These changes have a good influence on me. I will continue to improve myself to be a better person.
