举一反三
Among professional basketball players,Jeremy Lin’s background is not typical.He graduated from Harvard University,which sends few players to the NBA,and he is the only Chinese­American NBA player.But when you watch him on the court,there is no doubt that he belongs there.He moves with speed and grace(魅力) that show years of faithful practice,which is fueled by a love for basketball.
The Family Effect
Lin’s enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan,where his father started watching it.Lin’s father moved to U.S.,and his interest in the sport only grew.He passed 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.After each game,his parents would discuss not only his score but also his conduct toward other players.This taught Lin that character was more important than playing well,a lesson he still remembers.
Rise of a Star
In high school,Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA but did not really expect to do so.When he applied for college,he was not offered a single sports scholarship.However,after his admission to Harvard,he was offered a place on its college basketball team.During Lin’s time at Harvard,his basketball career began to take off.He scored 1,482 points,making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.Eventually,the recognition he received led him to suspect that his NBA dream could come true.
When he first graduated,no professional teams offered Lin a contract(合约),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.
Life in the NBA
His journey in NBA did not go very well at first.He spent most of his time on the bench during the past two seasons.He constantly compared himself to other players and gave himself no time to rest up.For the first time in his life,he no longer enjoyed playing basketball.After a few very difficult months,he realized that much of his anxiety and stress came from self­centered desires like wanting to be famous.So he transformed his attitude.He never stopped practicing and never gave up any slim chance.
Now he has become the NBA’s latest phenomenon after leading the New York Knicks to seven straight wins.He stays_humble and thinks that the credit for the winning goes to everyone in his team.Knicks fans developed nicknames for him,such as “Linsanity”,“Lincredible”,and “Linderella”.The Associated Press called Lin “the most surprising story in the NBA”.
小题1:Which of the following is TRUE of Jeremy Lin?
A.He was born in U.S.
B.He was sure of his NBA dream in high school.
C.He loves playing basketball all the time.
D.He was coldly received when he first came to NBA.
小题2:The underlined phrase “stays humble” in the last paragraph means ________.
A.tries his bestB.is modest
C.keeps working hardD.faces the difficulties
小题3:What can we learn from Jeremy Lin?
A.Hard work brings success.
B.We must have a father like Jeremy’s.
C.A good university can help us realize our dreams.
D.Team honour is more important than our own success.
小题4:What is the best title for the text?

One of the world’s richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions:visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’s charitable organization,the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future,which,they hope,would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.
So,what’s wrong with the traditional flush toilet?Firstly,it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.Secondly,they are more likely to cause pollution.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world,where,according to United Nations estimates,unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Finally,standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water,electricity or aseptic tank.It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents.28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair,in Seattle,USA.Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves,another which converted human waste into charcoal,and yet another which used urine for flushing.
But the winner was a solar­powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology(CIT) picked up a prize of $100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said,“We couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten.” Gates has even pledged $370 million more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.
小题1:Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
A.Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity.
B.Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people.
C.Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion.
D.Because he can’t design this kind of things himself.
小题2:Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?
A.They waste too much water.
B.They might cause diseases.
C.They are not always practical.
D.They are too complicated to use.
小题3:The underlined word “latrine” in the third paragraph might have similar meanings to the word “________” in the text.
A.looB.sanitation
C.diarrheaD.prototype
小题4:The team from CIT won the prize because their design ________.
A.can change human waste into electricity
B.can turn human waste into charcoal
C.can produce power with solar energy
D.can use urine for flushing

William Henry Bragg was born at Westward,Cumberland,on July 2,1862.He was educated at Market Harboroagh Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College,Isle of Man.Elected as a minor scholar of Trinity College,Cambridge,in 1881,he studied mathematics under the well­known teacher,Dr E.J.Routh.He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885,and at the end of that year he was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide,South Australia.
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject,almost casually,making an important contribution,and then dropping it again.However,the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913~1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance,the analysis of the crystal structure by means of X­rays.It is true that the use of X­rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities,and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
He was the author of many books,including Studies in Radioactivity,X­Rays and Crystal Structure,The World of Sound,Concerning the Nature of Things,Old Trades and New Knowledge,An Introduction to Crystal Analysis,and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness,Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.
小题1:William Henry Bragg was awarded the Nobel Prize because________.
A.he succeeded in using X­rays to find out the crystal structure
B.he was the first to use X­rays to help to do his experiment
C.he determined to learn everything well and then gave them up
D.he was successful in his research work with the help of his son
小题2:According to this passage,William Henry Bragg was interested in all the subjects EXCEPT________.
A.mathematicsB.physics
C.medicineD.sports
小题3:Which one of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A.Bragg became a professor in the University of Adelaide in 1885.
B.Bragg won the Rumford Medal and the Copley Medal in the same year.
C.Bragg gained great achievements in many fields,including society.
D.Bragg and Lawrence wrote the book X­Rays and Crystal Structure.
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A.William Henry Bragg’s Productive Life
