     HANGZHOU, China - Millions of Chinese basketball fans who were upset about the retirement of
Yao Ming, are excited to see another even more shining star, Jeremy Lin, rising from the N.B.A and
becoming a household name all across China.
     "We are amazed by Lin Shuhao's magic performance and should cheer him on," one Internet user
wrote.
"His sport shirts have sold out, even including the counterfeit(仿制品) ones," said Zheng Xiaojun, a
24-year-old clerk.
     Lin's amazing success over the last month has caught the imagination of the Chinese. He has been
particularly popular here in northern Zhejiang province, from which his grandmother went to Taiwan in
the late 1940s.
     Cai Qi, a well-known micro blogger, posted a message on micro blog over the weekend stating that
Lin's hometown is Jiaxing, a city near Hangzhou where Lin's grandmother grew up.
     Cai Qi's nephew Yu Guohua, a 56-year-old factory worker, is Lin's closest relative still living in
northern Zhejiang. He said in a telephone interview that Lin had come to play basketball with the Jiaxing
High School team last May and had been surrounded by admirers.
     Yu said he did not have a chance to meet Lin in the crowd, but managed to speak with his family.
"His father was very supportive of Lin's playing basketball, but his grandmother was not, for fear he
would be injured," Yu said.
     Lin may owe his height, 6 feet 3 inches, to his grandmother's family, Yu said. Chen Weiji, the father
of Lin's grandmother, was well over 6 feet and all of Chen's children were tall as well, he said.
     The N.B.A. believes that 300 million people in China play basketball. The retirement last year of
Yao Ming took its main Asian draw away from the N.B.A. But Lin's appearance has helped the league
remain a hot topic of Chinese online chatter.
1. Why does Lin Shuhao appeal especially to people in northern Zhejiang ?
A. He was born in Zhejiang.
B. His sports shirts are made in Zhejiang.
C. He once visited Zhejiang.
D. His grandmother grew up in Zhejiang.
2. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. Lin once played on Jiaxing High School team
B. All Lin's relatives moved to Taiwan 60 years ago
C. Lin's grandmother didn't expect him to be a player
D. Lin's father loved playing basketball
3. Lin's success in N.B.A has ______.
A. attracted more Chinese children to play basketball as a career
B. drawn Chinese people's attention back to the league
C. helped his hometown develop sports shirts business
D. helped his hometown attract more foreign visitors
4. Which is the best title of the report?
A. The Secret of Lin's Success
B. Lin, A New Focus in China

     An unemployed man is desperate to support his family. His wife watches TV all day and his three teenage
kids have dropped out of high school to hang around with the local toughs. He applies for a cleaner's job at a
large firm and easily passes an aptitude test. The human resources manager tells him,"You will be hired at
minimum wage, $5.15 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address so that we can contact you easily. Our
system will automatically e-mail you all the forms and advise you when to start and where to report on your
first day." Greatly surprised, the man said that he has neither a computer nor an e-mail address. To this, the
manager replies,"You must understand that to a company like ours that means you virtually do not exist.
Without an e-mail address you can hardly expect to be employed by a high tech firm. Good day."
      Unable to believe what he hears, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having $10 in his wallet,
he walks past a farmers' market and sees a stand selling beautiful tomatoes. He buys a crate (柳條箱), carries
it to a busy corner and displays the tomatoes. In less than two hours he sells all the tomatoes and makes 100%
profit. From that day on, he repeats the tomato business and becomes increasingly successful as time goes on.
By the end of the fifth year he owns a fleet of nice trucks and a warehouse. The tomato company has put
hundreds of homeless and jobless people to work and the business grossed a million dollars.
     Planning for the future, he decides to buy some life insurance. The insurance adviser asks him for his
e-mail address in order to send the final documents electronically. When the man replies that he doesn't have
time to mess with a computer and has no e-mail address, the insurance salesman is surprised," No computer?
No Internet? Just think where you would be if you'd had all of that five years ago!" "Ha! If I'd had all of that
five years ago, I would be sweeping floors at Microsoft and making $5.15 an hour!" the man replies.

     We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago, when right outside of the city, we got
pulled over. A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. Lecturing
us, he said,"You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?" Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we
were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. His way towards us totally changed. He asked, "Oh, so you
boys are in a band (樂(lè)隊(duì))?" We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual broad questions about the
type of music we played, and how long we had been at it. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Tim, you want to
get out of this ticket, don't you?" Tim said, "Yes." So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest
of us, inside the car, didn't know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Next thing we
knew, the policeman was putting Tim in the back of the police car he had parked in front of us. With that, he
threw the car into reverse (倒車), stopping a few feet in back of our car. Now we suddenly felt frightened.
We didn't know if we were all going to prison, or if the policeman was going to sell Tim on the black market
or something. All of a sudden, the pollen's voice came over in a loudspeaker. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen,
for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90." Turns out, the policeman had told Tim that
the only way he was getting out of the ticket was if he sang part of one of our songs over the loudspeaker in
the police car. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance,
and sent us on our way without a ticket.

     Collections were the inspiration (靈感) for a project at Thomas Tallis School, which formed part of the
Imagine Children's Literature Festival last autumn. Each child (aged 12-13) beatified a box and wrote a story
on the subject of collections to throw inside it. The boxes were spread within the Royal Festival Hall's
