20.February 4,2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.
    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 Chinese-American NBA player.But when you watch him on 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.
    Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan.When Lin's father moved to U.S.,his interest in the sport only grew and 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.
    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 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 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,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,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.Then his moment arrived on February 4,2012,on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight.After that,he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.
    The Associated Press called Lin"the most surprising story in the NBA".Knicks fans developed the nickname for him"Linsanity"(林发疯).Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100"Most Influential People in the World",Jeremy Lin included.
No doubt,Lin fever is continuing to spread.If you haven't already caught"Linsanity",get ready.

8.The pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti are singing.One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin.Their headmistress,Emile Jean-Noel,is one of the few women school principals in the country.
Over 70% of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food,water,schools,or housing.To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school,meals are provided by the World Food Programme.
"We are so cut off we have many difficulties,"comments Emile,adding that finding chalk,school books and other materials is practically impossible.Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources.Her efforts are bearing fruit.One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children's schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery(刺绣) and other handicrafts.
Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years.Enrolment(入学) is a mere 44per cent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it.Less than a third of these go on to secondary school.In rural areas it is not rare to find 17-and 18year-olds in primary school.Beau-Roc has only 4teachers for 260pupils.Emile works constantly to improve her pupils'environment.Under her direction,a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme.
Not only is Emile's salary too little,but she receives it irregularly.For her,transport is a real headache.She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus,costing more than she can afford.
"The decision to be a rural teacher in Haiti should not be taken lightly",Emile comments."With all the sacrifices and risks it requires,only those who are really cut out for teaching should do it."Nevertheless,Emile loves her job."I always feel at home with the children and,the parents understand what I'm doing."

64.What theme is presented in this passage?A
A.Devotion to education
B.Poverty and hardship
C.Politics and children
D.Love and beauty
65.Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school?D
A.Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts.
B.Persuading local women to care about their children's education.
C.Encouraging those around her to use those available resources.
D.Finding chalk,school books and other materials.

15.Have you ever been to the world's smallest bookstore?
The World's Smallest Bookstore,whose official name is just these three words,sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto.
The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet,so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is.The bookstore is open 24 hours a day.Inside the bookstore are various books,especially literary books and classic authors'works.So if you are looking for something less popular,you may get a bit disappointed there.
Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars.All the expenses are paid on the honor system,which means buyers should make a note of what they've bought and leave their money by themselves.So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple:pens,papers,light bulbs and a label-maker.
In order to catch passers-by's attention,the billboards(广告牌) of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself.With these large eye-catchers,many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.
