【2012福建宁德】(E) 任务型阅读（每小题2分，满分10分）
Last month GEELY, a private (私营的) Chinese car company, bought the Swedish brand Volvo (瑞典品牌沃尔沃) for $1.8 billion. Li Shufu, 49, chairman of Geely, is now world famous.
Li Shufu started to show his business skills at an early age. In 1982 when he was 19, Li used 100 yuan to buy an old camera. He took pictures for tourists. In six months, he had 1,000 yuan.
With that money, he set up a photo room. Later, he began to make fridges, motorbikes and finally cars.
At that time, the government did not allow private companies to make cars. Li asked officials to give him a chance. "Please let me try," he told one official. "It is my dream."
