The founder of Huawei seldom spoke to the media, while he let his company's fast growth do the talking. That's changing as Huawei finds itself in a dangerous situation in the US. Ren, 74, tells CNN in an interview that the challenges Huawei faces are just so common for him. "There are always difficulties for me. I never had smooth sailing because when I was young, my family background wasn't good. I had to work really hard to get even just a little bit of opportunity to work."

In 1974, Ren joined the PLA (中国人民解放军) as an engineer. During that period, the country was suffering from terrible food and clothing shortages (短缺). "I had been to college, and people like me could play a role." he said. After the PLA, Ren worked for an oil company before founding Huawei in 1987. It was set up in Shenzhen, which was just a fishing village then.

To get market share, Ren suffered serious depression (抑郁) during the darkest days of the company. Ren pushed staff to work long hours and do whatever it took to save business. Unable to compete in the big cities, Huawei worked on China's small towns and villages. All the time, Ren devoted a lot to research and development, pushing Huawei to create its own technology that would make it compete with its competitors.

Ren worked long hours leaving him little time to build strong relationships with his three children. He has said that while in the PLA, he spent just one month a year with his family. After starting Huawei, "I had to spend 16 hours a day in the office," he said. He once asked his kids whether they’d like him to spend more time with the family or work to "build a platform (平台)" on which they could grow. His children chose the latter (后者).

1.What is the meaning of the underlined word "smooth sailing"?

A.自由航行 B.一帆风顺 C.风平浪静

2.Which is the correct order of the following events?

a. Ren built up Huawei in Shenzhen.

b. America made some trouble to Huawei.

c. Ren joined the army and worked as a soldier.

d. Ren went to college.

e. Ren worked for an oil company.

A.c-d-e-b-a B.d-c-e-a-b C.b-c-d-a-e

3.In Ren's opinion, what can make Huawei compete with its competitors most?

A.Having its own technology B.Being more hardworking C.Finding proper places

Not everything goes the way you want it to. You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal. But your order is wrong or not cooked properly. You may buy a product that breaks the next day.

1.　 However, if you speak angrily to people, they will become defensive (自卫的). Then they are less likely to help you. A more effective (有效的) way to get what you want is to stay calm.

Use polite language and a friendly tone of voice. Start with phrases such as, "I'm sorry to bother you, but…" or "Excuse me, but could you…?" For example, "I'm sorry to bother you but I ordered potato soup, not vegetables." Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps. 2.　 "Could you help me? I just bought this phone case yesterday, but it doesn't work."

3.　 There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them. Use the phrase. "I know this isn't your fault, but…" or "There has been a misunderstanding." 4. Blaming people isn't as important as getting a problem fixed!

There are honest mistakes, but at times someone may try to take advantage of you. In that case, don't say "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead, use the phrase, "I understood that…" For example, "I understood that the service charge was included in the price." Then give the person a chance to answer.

If you don't get what you want with a polite conversation, ask to speak to a manager.

A.When trying to solve a problem, don't blame (责备) the person you're talking to.

B.People like to be asked rather than told!

C.But usually, you'll find that polite words and a smile will deal with a situation.

D.These kinds of experiences make you want to complain.

E.These phrases let people know you are only angry at the situation.

He was a fine young man, about twenty-five years old, tall and well-built, with a kind face and a nice smile. He had a brown skin, black hair, bright eyes and strong white teeth. I decided to give him the name of "Man Friday", because I first saw him on a Friday.

When he woke up in the morning, he ran out to me. I was milking my goats in the field, and he got down on the ground and put his head near my foot. I understood that he was thanking me for saving him, and I tried to show him that I was his friend.

I began to teach him to speak English, and soon he could say his name. Then he could call me "Master" and say "Yes" and "No". How good it was to hear a man's voice again! When we got to my house, I gave Man Friday some trousers, and I made him a coat and a hat. He liked his new clothes very much. Then I made him a little tent to sleep in, but for a few weeks I always took my gun to bed with me. Perhaps Friday was still a wild man and would try to kill me in the night. At first, Friday was very afraid of my gun. Sometimes he talked to it, and asked it not to kill him.

Friday was a quick learner and his English got better day by day. He helped me with the goats and with the work in the cornfields, and soon we were good friends. I enjoyed teaching him and, most of all, having a friend to talk to. This was the happiest of all my years on the island.

1.Why did Man Friday get down on the ground and put his head near his master's foot?

____________________

2.Where did Man Friday sleep?

____________________

3.How did Man Friday get on with his English study?

____________________

4.Did the master live alone or with other people on the island before Man Friday came?

____________________

5.What could Man Friday help his master to do on the island?

Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. After all, everyone often talks to other people. 1.但是与陌生人交谈使人觉得有点紧张和尴尬。 Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less embarrassing.

Body language

Although it may seem strange, much communication happens without any words. 2.The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you're talking confidently. And if you're nervous, acting like you're confident can help you feel more confident. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean (倚靠) forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.

Back and forth

A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to take part in. If you're doing all the talking, 3.停下来给别人说话的机会。 If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.

Ask questions

Questions can also help if you're struggling (努力的) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they'll talk for a while. Maybe they'll say something you relate with and can reply to. 4.People are generally excited to find others with similar interests. When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or "no". Open-ended questions in English usually start with who, what, when, where and why.

Don't fear silence

Don't scare if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. 5.Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also talk about something you've done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.

As with any skill, you will improve at holding conversations with time. So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation.
