Chinese mainland.
Ma is a former English teacher in Zhejiang, he was born in Hangzhou. Ma grew up as a happy
kid. At the age of 12, he wanted to learn English. Every morning, he woke up at 5 am, cycled 40
minutes to a hotel near the West Lake where he could chat to foreign tourists. He did it for nine
years, rain or shine. The experience made him a good English speaker and also opened his eyes to
the wider world.
In a 1995 trip to the US, Ma saw the Internet for the first time. He searched Yahoo using the
word “Beer”, and found that there was nothing in there about China. Seeing the chance, Ma
returned to China and set up a website called China Pages without even knowing much about
computers.
Four years later, 18 people including Ma, his wife and his friends founded Alibaba in
Hangzhou. He believed in the Internet business potential (潜力) when few other Chinese
did. People called him “Crazy Jack Ma”. But 15 years later, Alibaba has developed
into the world’ s largest e-commerce company, owning popular shopping websites like Taobao and
Tmall. No one thinks he’s mad now.
Asked about the secret of his success, Ma talked about the famous story:The Race Between The
Tortoise and The Hare. To be successful in this world, he said,“you must have the speed of the
hare and the patience and the willpower of the tortoise.”Ma’s favorite line has been printed on
Alibaba’s own T-shirts. It reads: “Everybody should have a dream. What if that dream comes
true?”
51.Why did Ma cycle to a hotel near the West Lake?
A. To work part-time B. To chat with foreigners
C. To work as a guide D. To do morning exercises
52. What did Ma and his team found Alibaba?
