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     44     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     45     become the world’s supplier (供应者) of 5G. In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder.     46     it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.

But recently, Huawei faces some     47    . 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     48     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     49     on our company. Huawei has     50     ability to deal with the problems,” Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei     51     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.     52     smartphone sales around the world are up. So far Huawei has grown into the world’s     53     telecommunication equipment (电信设备) supplier, selling in over 170 countries. It may     54     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.

The Guinness (吉尼斯) World Records Museum

Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class? Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring. However, the real reason is probably that we don’t have enough sleep. Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to.

Why do we need sleep? Sleep helps our body heal, grow, and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say when you close your eyes and need to rest, sleep is just the best! This is more than advice.

Enough sleep is important to us. How much sleep do we need? New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20 to 22 hours a day. Children need 10 to 12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8 to 10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6 to 8 hours of sleep to keep active.

Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. Some people talk in their dreams. More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleepwalking”. Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you?

It’s not just people that love to snooze (打盹). In fact, many animals have unusual or surprising sleeping habits. Some animals, such as bears and hedgehogs (刺猬), sleep all through winter. The swift (雨燕) is a special bird that can sleep while it flies! Cute koalas sleep around 18 hours a day. Giraffes don’t need much sleep. They usually sleep standing up.

Before the Qing Dynasty (1636—1912), people even had a one-day holiday on Summer Solstice. According to the records of the Song Dynasty (960—1279), officials could have three days off during Summer Solstice. To celebrate Summer Solstice, women gave colored fans and sachets (香囊) to each other. Fans could help them cool down and the sachets could drive away mosquitoes (蚊子) and make them smell sweet.
