He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But when you watch him on
13、 the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.Lins enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lins father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he p
14、assed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after
15、 his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.During Lins time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history. When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract,
16、 but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly,
17、the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come.

24、ew. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers.The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock (模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five “handshake rat
25、ers“ also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact.Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with “ wimpy“ shake
26、s were judged to be more timid and less impressive.The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.Professor Stewart said: “Weve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes
27、 of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We dont consciously remember a persons handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the persons overall personality, and that impression is what we
28、 remember.“Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.Body language experts warn, however, that the fir
29、mness needs to be just right, - as an over enthusiastic “bone crusher“ handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness.The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to har
30、m each other and possessed no hidden weapons.31. The passage is probably intended for _.A. job-hunters B. an undergraduate C. employers D. handshake raters32. From the first paragraph we know that in an interview _.A. dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshakeB. smile has no effect on
31、impressing potential employersC. a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smileD. dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance33.

32、on you leave.B. The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive.C. Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others.D. Its said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe.34. Professor Greg Stewart probably disagrees that _.A. a “bone crusher“ handshake give
33、s an unfavorable impressionB. the scores by the handshake raters were not related to the employment of the undergraduatesC. an undergraduate highly scored by the handshake raters was more likely to be hiredD. interviewers often decided whether to employ a person in the first two or three minutes of
34、an interview35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a. better impression than men.B. A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake.C. Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview.D. Job interview s
35、uccess depends on interviewees body language.CIts really true what people say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry“. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you“ rather than the driver. In Germany, people would nev
36、er dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with peopl
37、e in UK.People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank the
38、ir lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I wa
39、s working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways
40、. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.36. What is the authors attitude t
41、owards English politeness?A. He thinks it is artificial. B. He thinks little of it.C. He appreciates it very much. D. He thinks it goes too far.37. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author think its unnecessary to say “thank you“ to the bus driver.B. In Germany, employers often say “thank
42、 you“ to employees for their job.C. German men never treat a woman to dinner.D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.38. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _.A. are more likely to be involved in a fightingB. are as generous as English menC. t
43、reat women in a polite wayD. are unwilling to spend money for women39. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. English drivers often say “thank you“ to passengers when they get off the bus.B. In Germany, passengers sometimes say “thank you“ to bus drivers.C. English peo
44、ple try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life.D. Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen.40. The author develops the text through the method ofA. making comparisons B. telling storiesC. giving comments D. giving reasons/examplesDEvery hour spent in watching TV, DVDs and video
45、s as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.The research claims that a sedentary lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers caused by inactivity
46、 and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating.The academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television. Their research involved more than 11,000 people over the age of 25.Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, th
47、ey concluded. “TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity.“The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study,
48、together with population and death rate data. But they said: “Although we used Australian data, the effects in other industrialized and developing countries are likely to be similar, considering the large amounts of time spent watching TV and similarities in disease patterns.“ In the United Kingdom,
49、 the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day, compared with five hours in the United States. Earlier this year, a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, or dying early, rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box.Englands Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, said: “Physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know - that a sedentary lifes
