The {alpha}+{sup 8}He low-energy reactions and the exotic structures of {sup 12}Be={alpha}+{alpha}+4N are studied by the application of the generalized two-center cluster model. In the two-neutron transfer reactions, {alpha}+{sup 8}He{sub g.s.}{yields}{sup 6}He{sub g.s.}+{sup 6}He{sub g.s.}, resonant structures with a sharp width of {Gamma}<1 MeV appear in the central collision (J{sup {pi}=}0{sup +}). The reaction mechanism is analyzed, and we confirmed that the transfer coupling plays essential roles in the resonance formation with sharp width. Angular distributions for the scattered {sup 6}He are analyzed to extract resonant structures for individual partial waves. We found that, for the low-spin resonances, the angular selection around 90 deg. in the center-of-mass system, which is usually employed in the high-spin resonances of light-ion systems, is not necessarily appropriate to separate the resonance contribution with a definite spin. The validity of the selection angle around 90 deg. is discussed in the higher partial waves.
