of the National Basketball Association. Lin was born on August on 23, 1988 in Los Angeles,
California , and grew up in a Christian family in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Palo Alto. His
parents, Gie-Ming and Shirley, emigrated from Taiwan to the United States in the mid-1970s. They
are dual nationals of both Taiwan and the U.S.
Lin"s parents are both 5 feet 6 inches tall. His maternal grandmother"s family was tall, and her father
was over 6 feet. Lin has an older brother, Josh , and a younger brother , Joseph .
In his senior year in 2005-2006, Lin captained Palo Alto High School to a 32-1 record and upset
nationally ranked Mater Dei , 51-47 , for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II
state title . He was named first - team All-State and Northern California Division II Player of the Year,
ending his senior year averaging 15.1 points , 7.1 assists , 6.2 rebounds and 5.0 steals .
Lin sent his resume and a DVD of highlights of his high school basketball career to many universities.
Harvard and Brown were the only teams that guaranteed him a spot on their basketball teams.
In July 2005, then-Harvard assistant coach Bill Holden saw that Lin was 6 feet 3 inches, which fit
the physical attributes he was seeking , and he had a 4.2 grade point average in high school , which fit
Harvard"s academic standards . However, Holden was not initially impressed with Lin"s on-court abilities, and told Lin"s high school basketball coach , Peter Diepenbrock , that Lin was a "Division III player".
Later that week, Holden saw Lin playing in a much more competitive game, driving to the basket at
every opportunity with the "instincts of a killer". Lin became a top-priority for Holden. Harvard coaches
feared that Stanford, close to Lin"s home, would offer Lin a scholarship, but it did not , and Lin chose to
attend Harvard .
Joe Lacob, incoming Warriors" owner and Stanford booster, said Stanford"s failure to accept Lin
"was really stupid. The kid was right across the street. If you can"t recognize that, you"ve got a problem."
Kerry Keating, the UCLA assistant who offered Lin the opportunity to walk-on , said in hindsight that
Lin would probably have ended up starting at point guard for UCLA (University of California at Los
Angeles ) .

ked nothing better than to explore the banks of the Missouri River, where she climbed trees and hunted rats with her rifle (步枪).
She also built her own roller coaster (过山车).
The exciting life of the American aviation (航空) pioneer is dramatized in the movie Amelia, which is
due to come out on October 23.
After Earhart paid a pilot $1 to take her up for a short fly in his plane, aviation became her love and
career.
As she later explained, "Never do things others can do and will do, if there are things others cannot do or will not do."
Earhart found herself a flying teacher and started to learn to fly. She took all sorts of jobs to pay for
the lessons and to buy a secondhand plane on her 24th birthday.
In 1932, Earhart flew solo (单独地) across the Atlantic. She became the first woman to make the
solo crossing. She also made a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who
led active lives. "Now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done-occasionally what men have not done-thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other
women toward greater independence of thought and action," she said.
When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge-to be the first woman to fly around
the world.However, in the flight, she and her navigator (领航员) disappeared in bad weather.
Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer for both aviation and for women.

he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real
name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain,
his penname.
Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected
to live through the first winter. But with his mother"s care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he
caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors.
He didn"t like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the
direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.
After his father"s death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him
with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the
army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short
stories. Afterwards he became a full time writer.
In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including
Tom Sawyer in 1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him
great fortune.
Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments(投资) and he had to write
large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his
children passed away.

she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That
was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing
many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she wa
s finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music
lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in
Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to
give up the idea.

Arthur Miller(1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists
of the 20th century. Miller"s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary,drawn
like so many others by the" Great American Dream". However, he experienced severe
financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the
early l930s.
Millers" s most famous play, Death of a Salesman , is a powerful attack on the American
system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social
status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has
got into trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there
is no room for sentiment: if he can"t do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the
Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what
to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself
in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and
it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and
the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It wa
s the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February
10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
B. He was attracted by the "Great American Dream".
C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D. His family business failed.
B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D. focuses on the skills in doing business
B. He runs the Wagner Company.
C. He is a victim of the American system.
D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
B. The awards Arthur Miller won.
C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.
D. Arthur Miller and his best-known play.
was also a really great person. Here are some interesting things about him.
When Einstein started to work in America, someone asked him what he needed. He said
he needed a desk, some paper and a pencil. He also asked for a big waste-paper basket to
hold all of his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can
only learn by making mistakes.
Einstein regarded time as very important. He never wore socks and he thought putting
on socks was a waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought it was a waste
of time remembering things that could quickly be found in a book. That"s why he never
remembered his own phone number, which was in the phone book. He knew what was worth
remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we can not waste
our time.
Einstein liked to joke too. Once in an exam a student asked him why all the questions
were the same as last year"s. Einstein replied the questions were the same but the answers
were different!
B. asked difficult questions
C. wanted the answers all the same
D. wanted different answers
