短文理解(五)　阿姆斯特丹之旅+华为赢得世界认可+人物故事

A

　　Amsterdam is one of the most popular cities with tourists in the world and famous for its beautiful canals (运河),top art museums, and cycling culture. It is the capital and most populous city in Holland and often known as the “Venice of the North” because of its wide system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.

　　Places of Interests

　　Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional buildings, shopping centers, and coffee shops. Then they can go to the Rijks Museum, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum, which are top museums to visit.

　　Transportation

　　Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is about 15 kilometers southwest of the city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station. It's not a good idea to drive a car to the city center. Cycling is very popular here, and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals (租借)around the town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain (地形)and it's a good choice to go around the city on foot.

　　Money-saving Tips

·The hotels and restaurants in Amsterdam's South District are cheaper than those in the city center.

　　In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier(供应商) of 5G.

But recently,Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban(禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.

“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 founder and president said. “The ban from the U.S. 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 ￡4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic(浪漫的) as you imagine.” 

Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunications equipment(电信设备) supplier, selling in 170 countries.
