(February 17, 2012)
What a week it’s been for Jeremy Lin.
With five breakout games, the Taiwanese-American has become the NBA’s newest playmaking sensation.
In the New York Knicks’ 92-85 win over the Los Angles Lakers last Saturday, Lin had a career-high 38 points. And a day later, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory, 100-98, to Minnesota Timberwolves.
In his previous games, Lin, 23, had 23 points against the Washington, 25 points against New Jersey and 28 more against Utah in his first start.
No doubt, Lin fever is starting to spread. If you haven’t already caught “Linsanity” (林疯狂), get ready because it’s coming, as the Knicks pin their championship hopes on the rising star.
If you want to know more about Lin, here are five facts about him from the Associated Press (AP):
1. He is smart. Before graduating from high school in Palo Alto, California, Lin sent his resume to all the Ivy League schools. He only got into Harvard and Brown, and he chose Harvard. In 2010, Lin graduated with a degree in economics.
2. He is the first American player in the NBA of Chinese descent (血统). Lin was born in the US and his family is Asian. Despite not being born in China, Lin has co-opted Yao Ming’s old fan base of Asian-American’s who see him as a powerful role model.
3. He wasn’t drafted (选拔). After graduating from Harvard, Lin wasn’t drafted by any NBA team, which would have made him the first Ivy League alumni(校友) to be drafted since 1955.
4. He started off on the Golden State Warriors. Lin first signed with the Warriors in July, 2010, but rarely played in games before the start of the fourth quarter. His first time on the court for the Worriers earned him seven points, three rebounds(篮板) and two assists (助攻)in just 11 minutes.
5. He is a perfect fit for the Knicks. New York Knicks has been in need of a reliable point guard and to Mike D’Antoni, the Knicks coach who is going through a tough season, Lin is a most unexpected asset (有价值的人). “Lin just does everything easy and the rest of the guys around him are playing the way we want to play,” D’Antoni said. “I think it’s for real, and it can only get better.”
44. How many victories did Jeremy Lin get before beating Minnesota Timberwolves?
A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
45. We can learn from the passage that_________.
A. Jeremy Lin is the first Chinese player in the NBA.
B. Jeremy Lin was highly spoken of by the Knicks coach, Mike D’Antoni.
C. Without doubt the New York Knicks will win championship with the help of Jeremy Lin.
D.After graduating from Harvard, Jeremy Lin became the leading player on the Golden State Warriors.
46. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Wonderful Start for Jeremy Lin in the NBA B. Jeremy Lin’s Easy Road to the NBA
C. Jeremy Lin’s Unusual Life in the NBA D. Jeremy Lin, A talent in the NBA

After a 15-year ban on the sale of fireworks in Beijing, Kang Guoliang, 51, was able to start his old trade again yesterday．
As a salesman in Xinhui store in Dongcheng District, he is happy about the increasing number of buying fireworks wrapped in red paper — a color standing for happiness and good luck．
“Fireworks are available for the first time in town for more than a decade,” Kang said happily．“People will buy them．”
The store has 300 boxes of fireworks piled up and is open 24 hours at the moment．Residents are buying the fireworks and firecrackers for the upcoming Spring Festival, which falls on February 18．
Citywide, 2,116 registered stores and retailers, 585 in the centre and 1,600 on the outskirts are trading fireworks in the Chinese capital．Sales of fireworks within the Fifth Ring Road started yesterday and will last until March 4, Xinhua reported．Among the stores, 117 stores are permitted to operate 24 hours．About 600,000 boxes of firecrackers worth more than 100 million yuan have been carried to registered stores．
The Chinese capital began a ban in 1993 to reduce fireworks-related deaths and fires during the holiday season．Last September the ban was removed in response to residents’ fondness for fireworks when celebrating Spring Festival．
According to new rules, Beijing residents are allowed to set off fireworks within the Fifth Ring Road all day on Lunar New Year’s Eve and Lunar New Year’s day, from 7 a．m．to midnight every day from February 19 to March 4．
“Spring Festival without fireworks is not Spring Festival,” said Sheng Hefei, who was buying fireworks in the store．“It was fun to light the firecrackers when I was little,” he said．“The sound and view of fireworks make a real holiday．” However, not all residents welcome the return of firecrackers because of injuries, pollution and noise．“My child is scared of the sudden sound of firecrackers, and it is annoying to hear it all night long,” complained Lu Jun, a local resident．

I have only once been in trouble with the law．The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now． What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary （随意的） circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent （随后的） fate in court．
It happened in February about twelve years ago．I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October．I was still living at home at the time．
One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived．I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling．As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me．It must have been this obvious ainilessness that led to my downfall．
It was about half past eleven when it happened．I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me．I thought he was going to ask me the time．Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me．At first I thought it was some kind of joke．
But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt．
'But what for? " I asked．
‘Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,' he said．
‘What offence?' I asked．
'Theft,' he said．
'Theft of what?' I asked．
'Milk bottles,' he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!
'Oh,' I said．
It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps．
Then I made my big mistake．At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as pan of the sixties' 'youth counterculture'．As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, 'How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage．I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable （品行不端的） character．
A few minutes later a police car arrived．
'Get in the back,' they said．'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them．'
They got in on either side of me．It wasn't funny any more．
At the police station they questioned me for several hours．I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation．When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I'd been looking for a job．'Aha,' I could see them thinking, 'unemployed'．
Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates' Court the following Monday．Then they let me go．
I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor （律师） ．We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness．But he was never called on to give evidence．My 'trial' didn't get that far．The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes．1 was free．The poor police had never stood a chance．The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police．
And so I do not have a criminal record．But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on．I had the 'right' accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor．Given the obscure nature of the charge．I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty．While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved （回转） around the fact that I had a 'brilliant academic record'．
Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police． 'You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,' he said to me reproachfully （责备地） ．
What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged （暴怒）and said something like, 'Look here, do you know who you're talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record．How dare you arrest me!' Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way．

The video rooms have been open since Jan. 2. If successful, the chain hopes to expand the service to other provinces, or even other countries. In addition to the food, customers pay 200 yuan per hour for using the room.
''The video rooms have been fully booked in February,'' said Chen Yu, manager of the Wangfujing branch. The Video room in Beijing is about 30 square meters and large enough for six customers.
''Many customers prefer to use the room for dinners rather than lunch,'' Chen said, adding the average age of customers who booked the video hotpot(火锅) is about 30.
''The whole process is very smooth. The image and the voice transmission(转换) are as good as those of video conferencing at work, ''said one of Chen's colleagues surnamed Luo.
''I have a lot of friends in Beijing, whom I haven’t met for a long time because of being busy at work,'' said a woman surnamed Yu who is having dinner with her husband at Haidilao.''The new service gives us a chance to have a dinner together without traveling. I would like to give it a try.''
The video hotpot also helped establish a friendship between waitresses in the two cities.
Zhao Huanhuan, in her 20s, who is specially trained for serving in the video room in Shanghai, developed a friendship with a waitress named Lu Ke in the Beijing branch.
Zhao said excitedly: ''It was too amazing to believe. I'm so interested in using the special room and enjoy serving people there. I also talk about some interesting interactive games with Lu before guests come for dinner''.
Although Lu felt a little bit nervous when she first served in front of the screens, she said the new mode of communication also encouraged her to supply better services for customers.
''It's like a service competition. We saw each other through video and I could learn from Zhao's serving,'' Lu said, adding she will visit Zhao if she goes to Shanghai.
It seems that video hotpot doesn't satisfy everyone's taste, however.
1.From the passage we know that ______.
A. the video room service has been open for a long time
B. the video room service has been open in many provinces in China
C. using the video room, you have to pay extra 200 yuan per hour
D. the Video room in Beijing is only designed for six people to use
2.Haidilao may be the name of ______.
A. a theatre B. a restaurant C. a cinema D. a hotel
3.Why do many customers choose the video room service?
A. Because the service there is excellent.
B. Because they can have dinner with friends without traveling.
C. Because the food there is delicious.
D. Because the room is large enough for six people.
4.We can learn from the passage that Zhao Huanhuan ______.
A. enjoys communicating with Lu Ke
B. hasn't met Lu Ke for a long time
C. is twenty years old now
D. learned a lot from Lu Ke
5.What do you suppose will be talked about in the paragraph to be followed?
A. Lu's visit to Zhao in Shanghai.
B. Other customers' praise for the service.
C. How to improve the service.
D. Other customers' complaint about the service.
