2.Over the summer,a Chinese company,Xiaomi,took the No.1position in China's competitive market and became the world's third largest phone maker.
Xiaomi was founded in 2010as a company to sell smartly designed phone at cheap prices over the Internet.A clever social media strategy and a business plan that emphasized selling services helped the company build enthusiastic support from young and trendy Chinese people.With people in China expected to buy 500million smart phones in 2015,Xiaomi plans to solidify its position as one of the most powerful phone makers in the world's most important market.
The company's founders,including the Chinese entrepreneur Lei Jun and the former Google executive Lin Bin,hope that they will take the brand globally.Although Xiaomi is already sold internationally,next year will be the true test of whether it can continue its rise beyond China.Avoiding markets like the United States and Europe,Mr.Lei and Mr.Lin are looking at huge developing countries like Brazil and India.And they hope to use e-commerce networks to sell cheap and high-quality phones,and create their Chinese success.
Xiaomi fans have a high level of organization.They love Xiaomi.Han Yu,a 24-year-old boy studying for his master's degree,is one of those lovers.He helps Xiaomi test its user interface by looking for bugs and offering suggestions.Mr.Han moderates several pages on the company's online forum,which averages 200,000posts a day and is where fans interact with the company.Much of his personal life revolves around Xiaomi and he said he was honored when his suggestions to create a private photo folders was adopted by Xiaomi.
Although Xiaomi makes some money on phone sales,the company's plan is to increase profitability by selling services like entertainment and apps through the phone.The company has also started to sell other devices,like a smart television,a tablet and a fitness band.

14.A study showed eating even a little less salt could greatly help the heart.The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.The scientists used a computer model to predict how just three grams less salt a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
The scientists said the results would be thirteen percent fewer heart attacks,eight percent fewer strokes (中風(fēng)),four percent fewer deaths and eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease(710C.Researchers said it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-two thousand deaths every year.The researchers were from the University of California,San Francisco,Stanford University and Columbia University.They and public health professionals in the United States are interested in a national campaign to persuade people to eat less salt.(72)B.
However,some scientists say such a campaign is an experiment with the health of millions of people.
Michael Alderman is among the critics(批評家).He is a high blood pressure expert and professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.Doctor Alderman says that eating less salt results in lower blood pressure.(73)G.
And he says salt has other biological effects.He says calling for reductions in the national diet could have good effects,but it could also have harmful results.
Another critic is David McCarron,a nutrition and kidney (腎) disease expert at the University of California.He and his team looked at large studies of diets in thirty-three countries.(74)F.Most of them eat more salt than American health officials advise.
Doctor McCarron says the worldwide similarity suggests that a person's brain might decide how much salt to eat.

A.But he says he receives no money from the group.
B.Such campaigns are already in place in Britain,Japan and Finland.
C.And two hundred forty billion dollars would be saved in health care.
D.They say people eating less salt have equal chances to have diseases.
E.And it may also result in fifteen percent increase of the kidney death rate.
