With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks' dramatic reversed(扭转) victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.

The Knicks have won six games in a row, and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions. Although the season is still young, the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. Lin, not team's high-paid stars, has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.

After nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, Madison Square Garden is alive again, and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks. To put things into perspective（角度）, consider this: Just several years back, Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.

Now, Madison Square Garden Co. shares are at a record high, the Knicks' average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容), and jersey sales are increasing very quickly. I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem, and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.

Beyond the Knicks, Lin may be saving the NBA as well. Just a few months back, the NBA took a massive credibility（威信）hit during a multi-month lockout（停工）, where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels. As a consequence, the season did not even begin until Christmas Day. Over the past few years, LeBron James' (勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events, combined with poor play around the league, have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.

Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival. His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans, increased NBA sales in China, and turned the basketball world upside down.

1.The passage is mainly about______

A. why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin 

B. why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks  

C. how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff          

D. how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks, probably including the NBA

2.According to the passage, Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following except___

A. The NBA

B. Coach Isiah Thomas  

C. The Knicks

D. Madison Square Garden Co.’s shares  

3.The underlined word “young” in Paragraph 2 probably means "______"

A. not old yet.  B. not completely grown.

C. in the development  D. in the early stage 

4.The NBA suffered the credibility crisis months ago because____

A. The NBA delayed the season because of players’ wage disagreements

B. the NBA was disappointed at James’ free-agent event.

C. The NBA canceled the basketball match for the coming Christmas

D. James had a bad performance in the basketball court

5.Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. These Knicks’ stars who were paid well saved the Knicks season

B. The Knicks didn’t satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season

C. The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the Garden

D. The owners and the players didn’t agree on raising the TV ratings

 

  With the popularity of Harry Potter novels, the number of children applying to boarding schools has risen, many of them hoping to find their own version of Hogwarts. However, others have interpreted this trend as a reaction to longer working hours and the break up of more marriages. The boarding schools of fiction are presented as one long midnight feast with pillow fights making firm friendships. However, some people say the reality is children having more homesickness and a lack of individual attention. Modern boarding schools have done much to get rid of the image of the mass dormitories with 40 or more beds in one room, some going as far as providing private rooms with bathrooms. Similarly, they make great announcements for their academic advantage, particularly in light of the increase in exams, homework and university entrance requirements facing children wishing to succeed in the modern world.

   Alongside these more conventional schools, two types of boarding schools have also become more popular recently. Sports academies and stage schools seek to cater for children with particular interests and talents, while so-called troubled-teens have been able to turn to a range of religious or wilderness schools to solve their problematic behavior.

   Boarding schools allow children a safe space in which to accomplish greater control and independence over their daily lives. Teachers and staff can look after and support but they are unlikely to be over-protective. This can be a great preparation for university or for working away from home in later life as it provides an intermediate step between childhood and full independence.

   However, Parents are a child’s most natural support and best role models to learn from. If they are separated from them for long periods of time, this may damage their relationship and leave the child feeling anxious or alone. Schools are unlikely to be able to copy the detailed knowledge of each individual child that a parent has and therefore cannot be as effective in supporting the child.

   To sum up, boarding schools have both their advantages and disadvantages, so it is up to you to decide whether to send your children to boarding schools or not.

1.. What do we know from the passage?

   A. More and more children go and visit Hogwarts on their own.

   B. Pillow fights in boarding schools make firm friendships in reality.

   C. More children want to go to boarding schools because of Harry Potter novels.

   D. There aren’t special schools for the particularly talented children.

2. What kind of schools may be the most suitable for the so-called troubled-teens?

   A. sports academies                        B. Wilderness schools

   C. Conventional schools                     D. Stage schools

3.We learn from Paragraph 4 that __________.

   A. teachers of boarding schools are the best examples for children to learn from

   B. children can be more independent if they are separated from their parents

   C. parents know their children better than teachers of boarding schools

   D. schools are much more effective than parents in supporting children

4. What is the author’s opinion of boarding schools?

   A. Neutral         B. Negative         C. Positive         D. Critical
