The two firms had been fierce petitors, but Didi Chuxing had controlled the Chinese market with an 87% share. Uber China launched in 2014, but it had failed to make any profit for a long time. Cheng Wei, founder and chief executive of Didi Chuxing, said the two panies had learned a great deal from each other over the past two years in China. He added that the deal would set the mobile transportation industry on a healthier path of growth at a higher level. As part of the deal, Mr. Cheng would join the board of Uber, while Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick would also join Didi39。s board. Uber39。s China business would own its separate branding while USbased Uber Technologies would hold about % in the bined pany. Didi Chuxing is backed by Chinese Internet giants Tencent and Alibaba. Uber had been struggling to break into the Chinese market despite having Chinese search engine Baidu as an investor. Last February, the pany admitted it was losing more than $1 billion a year in China. “Funding their Chinese dreams was being too expensive for Uber,” Duncan Clark, chairman of Beijingbased consultancy BDA, told the BBC. Travis Kalanick said, “As a businessman, I39。ve learned that being successful is about listening to your head as well as following your heart.” The fierce petition had led both panies to spend much more on their journeys. The bination is likely to see fewer such subsidies(補(bǔ)貼). “One thing to watch carefully is how quickly consumers feel the impact as subsidies are withdrawn.” Mr. Clark added. The deal with Didi Chuxing came just days after China had agreed to provide a legal framework for taxiordering apps. Both Uber and Didi weled the decision. The new rules took effect last November and could, among other things, forbid such platforms to operate below cost.(1)According to the second paragraph, what can we know? A.Being successful is about listening to your head and following your heart.B.The deal would make the mobile transportation industry grow much faster.C.Didi Chuxing had learnt more in China than Uber over the past two years.D.Mr. Cheng would be working as a member of the board of Uber as planned.(2)What is the best title of the passage? A.Uber sold Chinese business to Didi ChuxingB.Using Didi Chuxing brings more subsidiesC.Listen to your head and follow your heartD.The new rules took effect last November(3)What is the impact of the fierce petition between Uber and Didi? A.Uber dominated the Chinese market with an 87% share.B.China provided a legal framework for taxiordering apps.C.Funding their Chinese dreams became expensive for Uber.D.Chinese search engine Baidu became an investor of Uber39。s.(4)The passage is probably taken from a website about ________.
