* 九年级（全）限时练 小米手机CEO雷军 第三部分 热点素材拓展 Steve Jobs shocked the mobile-phone business by introducing a device (装置) that everyone had to copy. Now one of his fans Lei Jun is shaking up the enormous Chinese market with smartphones that cost much less than comparable devices. Lei is the founder and CEO of Xiaomi, which is just four years old but already one of the top six smartphone sellers in China. It entered the business in 2010 by starting a custom Android operating system, known as MIUI (pronounced “me UI”), whose interface looked a lot like the iPhone’s. It was hugely popular among people who love to change a phone’s functions. A year later, Xiaomi began selling a series of phones that had high-end specs (高端规格) but sold for only half of what the iPhones were going for in China. 　　One reason the prices are so low is that Xiaomi sells at or near cost and makes its money when customers pay for its cloud-based services (云服务), such as messaging and data backup. The company is also skillful at timing its sales. It presells a very limited number of devices, which always sell out, attracting more interest. By the time the later buyers get their devices, producing costs have fallen clearly for Xiaomi. Lei has developed a Jobs-like image, all the way down to his personal things and product announcements. His fans call him “Leibs” (a combination of Lei and Jobs), though his criticizers also use the term in laugh. Regardlessly, his company is getting itself in position to sell a big chunk of the billion Android phones expected to flood the developing world in the next few years as prices keep falling. 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了小米智能手机公司CEO雷军研发小米手机的过程以及小米手机对市场产生的影响。作为一家新兴的手机制造商，小米公司虽然成立只有四年，却已经跻身于中国智能手机销量前六强之列。而雷军也因此被小米手机的粉丝们冠以“雷布斯”的称号。 1. ______ is the founder and CEO of Xiaomi from this passage.
