　　Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Yao Ming－people across the world know these Chinese faces．This year, Jeremy Lin has added himself to the line-up．The 23-year-old is the first Asian-American NBA player since the 1940s－h(huán)is parents are from Taiwan．In early 2012, Lin was still sitting on the bench after two teams didn't hire him one after another．He lived with his brother in a small flat, worrying that the New York Knicks would cut him, too．

　　But suddenly, the once-nameless young man became a basketball hero．As of February 16, this year he has led his team to seven straight victories(勝利), including a win over the Los Angeles Lakers in which he scored 38 points, and Kobe Bryant scored 34．In the game against the Toronto Raptors, he made a 3-pointer in the final half-second．

　　He's scored 166 points in seven games, including 109 in his first four starts － that's more than any player ever．

　　Kobe Bryant was surprised after playing with Lin, though he knew very little about the Knicks' newest star before that．

　　“Players don't usually come out of nowhere,” Bryant said．“If you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning．But no one ever noticed．I am sure he has put in a lot of work to always have that belief in himself．Now, he has the opportunity to show it．”

　　Lin himself also said that, “there is more opportunity [with the Knicks]．” The Knicks have been in need of a good point guard, and Lin is “a perfect fit”．

　　Lin became a basketball hero overnight．How long will his story last? Nobody knows．But, just like the USA Today article says, for anyone who has ever had a dream, this is a great story．

(1)

Jeremy Lin plays the role of ________ in his basketball team．

[　　]

A．

point guard

bench player

sixth man

　　Accepting an award may seem like a simple task, but each year the Academy Awards(奧斯卡獎)proves there may be more to it than you might think．Oscar history has seen its fair share of memorable thank-you moments, good and bad．So the question remains：what makes a great acceptance speech? Here are three tips to keep in mind for your next shining moment：

　　1．Be thankful and simple．Make sure you thank the important people who helped you reach your goal．Don’t be too arrogant or full of yourself but don’t be so modest(謙遜的)that the audience(觀眾)thinks you are looking down upon the honor．It’s only natural to be a little excited, so use this to get on well with the audience．At this year’s Oscars, The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper told the story of how he only came to make the movie thanks to the help of his Australian mother, who was in the audience．

　　He showed grace and humility(謙卑)when he mentioned her：“So, with this tonight, I honor you and the key point of the story is, listen to your mother．”

　　2．Keep it short．Say as much as you can in as few words as possible．There’s no need to thank every single person you know．As Oscar producer Bruce Cohen warned people at the annual nominees luncheon(年度提名人午宴)before this year’s show, “Nothing is more dangerous than a winner reading a list of names．” Make each sentence meaningful and don’t get too carried away．

　　3．Finally, make the best use of your moment．Don’t be afraid to have a little fun and say something unforgettable Cleverness and humor will help your speech stand out in a good way and keep everyone entertained．Don’t make rude and unfit jokes, especially about others．Such jokes may get everyone talking, but you may be the only one laughing in the end．

　　This time, Melissa Leo’s use of the dirty word during her acceptance speech was the first in Oscar history．She said it before covering her mouth：“I really don’t mean to hurt the audience’s feelings．”

(1)

The underlined word “arrogant” may mean ________．

[　　]

A．

honest

B．

relaxed

C．

excited

D．

self-centered

(2)

To make a great acceptance speech one must ________．

[　　]

A．

thank his mother

B．

be careful not to say too much

C．

thank all the people who once helped him

D．

be humorous and funny to make the audience laugh

(3)

What is true with Tom Hooper?

[　　]

A．

He has an Australian mother．

B．

He thanked his father in the shining moment．

C．

He is the hero of the film “The King’s Speech”．

D．

He used some dirty words in his acceptance speech．

(4)

What is the best title for the passage?

[　　]

A．

Giving a Thank-you Speech

B．

Accepting the Academy Awards

C．

Some Advice for the Acceptance Speech

D．

How to Win the Academy Awards Successfully
