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

But recently, Huawei faces some {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (difficulty). The US 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 US government planned to stop {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sell) parts and services to Huawei. They believed that Huawei's business would {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hurt) 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 effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems," Ren added.

In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, "I started Huawei with only £4000 at the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (begin), but now it has become a 100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic as you imagine."

Facing the law of the US, Huawei {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (grow). Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared with a year {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (early) in the first three months of 2023. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment supplier (供应商), selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.

"I am Peppa Pig. This is my little brother George! This is Mommy Pig and this is Daddy Pig! " Do you know this family? I like them very much. Peppa Pig is from England, and she is four years old. Her favorite thing is to play with her best(最好的) friend Suzy and her brother George. Who's George's best friend? Peppa? No! His best friend is his dinosaur(恐龙). He takes(带着) his dinosaur everywhere. Mommy Pig is beautiful. She cooks for the family. Daddy Pig sometimes cooks for them, too. They often jump in muddy puddles(泥坑) with Peppa and George. They are very happy.

Although Zhu left school so early, he didn't stop his poetic journey. He worked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} more than 10 cities. Whenever he got to a city, he visited the bookstores and libraries there. He took a notebook to write down paragraphs from books and recite(背诵){#blank#}6{#/blank#}( they).

Most of his favorite poems from the Tang Dynasty, and some of them{#blank#}7{#/blank#}( write) by Chairman Mao Zedong. Why? Because he found them easy {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( remember). Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and he can recite more than 1,000 of them now.

When I was a student in the middle school, I was a shy girl. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(尤其) when the teacher asked me to speak in front of the class, I was so afraid of making {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (错误). That's why I lost lots of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(机会) to show myself and I was not very happy. What a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(遗憾)! But in fact, I was not a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(粗心的) girl and I always try to do everything right. But now, I'm a student in the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(大学), so I'm {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(改善) myself. I meet a good teacher Ms. Huang. She always {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (建议） us to tell stories or show our ideas in class. It is very great, so I decide to speak more often than {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(通常的). I believe that I will be more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（自信的）in the future.
