30、bei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi! Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decid
31、ed to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals.
32、In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford
33、to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqis direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. Though hard-working, the men dont make much money. But as Wenqi puts
34、 it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.” Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need - a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world! 1. Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

40、se，专注于环境的改善，并非经济上的实际收益。D选项-信息错误，文中第二段仅仅提及他们租用地块，并非提供给其他村民farmland. A选项正确，他们帮助村民阻止雨季中的洪灾，故选A。3.
