完形填空

When I was in Germany, one day at Christmas-time I went to a post office to send a letter. To my    1    I found people queuing (排队) some paces away from the person at the savings deposit window.    2  so? Each did his business  3    but the line never moved a step    4   , I was very    5   , so I walked to the window to find out the cause. There was a notice on which was written “Thank you for your    6  for other’s privacy (隐私)”—a polite    7    to keep people away from nosing into other’s    8    (money matters are regarded as privacy in Western countries). I was deeply impressed by the    9   and stayed a while to watch: they were waiting so    10    at a distance that they seemed quite    11  to the practice. The    12    thing happened at a public telephone box.  13    waiting for their turns always kept their distance—enough to be out of  14   . It’s another typical example!

From then on I    15   to watch their ways of doing things, manners, treatment   16  towards others. I found the Germans always mindful of other’s privacy. They avoided putting others in an embarrassing (窘迫)situation. For instance, they never    17    about age, incomes or the place to buy such a coat,    18    would they comment on the others or jewelry others wore. Their laws    19    reading diaries or opening letters without permission. That shows    20   matters are not allowed to be disturbed.

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.

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. 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.
