Have you thought of coming to the USA as much as I have thought of coming to China? It seems that no matter what else might happen in the world, people wish to know other people. From an American's stand point, I will tell you that most of us are very happy that your country has been allowed into the WTO. We are also happy that you will be hosting the coming Olympics. Between the two of these things I believe that China shall become one of the greatest places around the world to do business and visit with.
I know that some of you might have a very dramatic view of the way America is. So you know, we are a society of people that are run by and governed by money. People who are elected to office in our country are done so because they have the money to pay for a campaign. I think no matter where a person lives in the world, they wish for the same things. If you think you can come over here and make something of yourself, you are right. I believe I can come to your country and make something of myself.
We are all the same around the world you see. Some of us are made to lead, while others of us are made to follow. Here in the United States we could not live the way we do if there were not those of us who do the work that is needed at the bottom of the ladder. Just as in China, we have those who must be the street cleaners, the bakers, the farmers, and all the other jobs that must be done. Like China also, most of us wish we were someplace further up the ladder; maybe a manager of a big company, maybe a famous doctor or actor.The streets are not paved with gold in the United States. It does take hard work to make it.
I would like to tell you all that we do not carry any prejudice towards you.Your people and your culture are much respected throughout the United States. You are known as an intelligent(clever) and resourceful(机智的) people. I hope someday that our countries will be open enough that travel between them will be like travel between the United States and Europe.

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Don’t overlook talented people around you B. Seize the opportunity when it comes up C. Stay humble D. Find the system that works for your style E. Keep Honest Forever F. Work hard |
1. __________
Lin(Jeremy Shu-How Lin)got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him. They had too many injuries. Baron Davis was gone. The other point guards were out. Carmelo Anthony was injured. Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death. Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed. But he made the most of it. You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life. Often, they’re when you least expect them. Make the most of them. Don’t waster them.
2. __________
Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. He’s not a pure scorer. He’s a passer and distributor – who can also score very well. It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Houston – where he was before landing at the Knicks. But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths. You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system (a job or organization or industry) that is a good fit for those strengths. Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table.
3. __________
You probably manage people at your own company today. Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now? How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with? How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues? We put people around us in boxes. He’s from Harvard. He’s Asian-American. Not sure he can play. How many assumptions have you made about talent around you? Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers. With all their money, scouts(球探), and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands. Do you know what your people (or even yourself) are really capable of? Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world.
4. __________
If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head. It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media craze. It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more.
5. __________
Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills. There are no short cuts to hard work. Success is a by product of that. If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great. If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom! Get up early, stay up late. Nobody gave Lin any free passes. Why should you get any? You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know.

After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city.Buildings went up at a fantastic rate, and between 1945 and 1960, the city’s population is more than doubled.Because of the Olympic games held in Tokyo in 1964, many new stadiums, parks, and hotels were built to accommodate visitors from all over the world.As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen.Housing shortage, pollution, and waste disposal have presented serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun programs to answer them.
