Have you ever heard of a powerful company in China? Have you ever heard of being far ahead? Yes, It’s Huawei.

In 1987 a small company named Huawei was     1     in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and has become the world’s second largest maker of smartphones. It has     2     become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder.     3     it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.

But recently, Huawei faces some     4    . The USA government made a law to stop its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the USA government planned to     5     selling parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt in this way.

“We have never received such a request from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information,” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s president said. “The law would have little     6     on our company. Huawei has     7     ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei     8     only little money at the beginning, but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine.”

Facing the law of the USA, Huawei is growing.     9     smartphone sales around the world are up. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s     10     telecommunication equipment (电信设备) supplier, selling in over 170 countries. It may     11     Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

Huawei has set a good example for Chinese companies. We should make more high-technology products and change Made in China into Created in China.

Claire had always been a perfectionist (完美主义者). No matter what she did, whether it was organizing her own birthday party or working on a science project, she had to do everything perfectly to the last detail (细节). She said: “If my work does not turn out well, I     1     very upset for days.”

When Claire heard about the singing competition     2     by the community centre, she made up her mind to win the first prize. “It     3     a wonderful experience! I     4     five golden-medals before. Now I will get the sixth.” Claire made sure she was well-prepared. Not only did she spend a long time     5     a song, she also put in a lot of effort to sing each note correctly. However, on the day of competition, while she     6    , for some reason, she could not remember a whole line of the lyrics (歌词). Not knowing what     7    , Claire just passed over that line completely. She was very upset with herself and nearly     8    . “What a silly mistake I made!” She thought. Finally she took the second place, Claire burst into tears on stage.

Claire’s mother comforted her. She said, “It’s perfectly all right to make mistakes. That’s how we learn.” Claire had never thought of it that way. She     9     her tears and agreed. “Maybe it is not that bad     10    .” Back home, she put up the plaque (奖牌) on the wall in her room. It would remind her how mistakes help her to learn and improve.

My name is Mike. I am a middle school student. I am in Grade Eight. I used to spend most time     1     the internet. I enjoyed     2     with friends on QQ. And I was fond of watching videos     3    . On weekends, I lost     4    in playing computer games.     5    , day by day I found I didn’t like my study. I felt sleepy and tired all day. Internet became my whole life. My mother said that I needed a change.

My mother took me to the park in our city. I lay on the grass, smelled the spring and listened to the wind singing. The nature     6     comfort and peace for me. At that time, I found some children playing musical       7     near a lake. The boy with     8     erhu in hands caught my eyes. The music was both     9     and relaxing. Now I joined them and learned playing erhu. It became one of my favorite     10     . Everyone thinks that I am active now.
