“Are you too stupid to do anything right？”These words—said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son—were spoken 1 he had walked away from her. They boy returned, his eyes down-cast.
Not a 2 moment, perhaps, 3 small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words—though they mean 4 at the time to the people who say them—can have great 5 .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional 6 . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 7 . He had few 8 and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment（作业）. The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would 9 the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 10 . Today he can not recall anything 11 about the chapter he wrote, or what 12 Mrs. Branch gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs. Brach wrote in margin（空白处）of the paper：“This is 13 writing.”
Four words. They 14 his life.
“ 15 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or 16 I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 17 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs. Brach to evaluate. She was 18 , tough and honest.“She was just what I 19 ,”Dalkoff said.
His confidence 20 . Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of his paper.

(February 17, 2012)
What a week it’s been for Jeremy Lin.
With five breakout games, the Taiwanese-American has become the NBA’s newest playmaking sensation.
In the New York Knicks’ 92-85 win over the Los Angles Lakers last Saturday, Lin had a career-high 38 points. And a day later, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory, 100-98, to Minnesota Timberwolves.
In his previous games, Lin, 23, had 23 points against the Washington, 25 points against New Jersey and 28 more against Utah in his first start.
No doubt, Lin fever is starting to spread. If you haven’t already caught “Linsanity” (林疯狂), get ready because it’s coming, as the Knicks pin their championship hopes on the rising star.
If you want to know more about Lin, here are five facts about him from the Associated Press (AP):
1. He is smart. Before graduating from high school in Palo Alto, California, Lin sent his resume to all the Ivy League schools. He only got into Harvard and Brown, and he chose Harvard. In 2010, Lin graduated with a degree in economics.
2. He is the first American player in the NBA of Chinese descent (血统). Lin was born in the US and his family is Asian. Despite not being born in China, Lin has co-opted Yao Ming’s old fan base of Asian-American’s who see him as a powerful role model.
3. He wasn’t drafted (选拔). After graduating from Harvard, Lin wasn’t drafted by any NBA team, which would have made him the first Ivy League alumni(校友) to be drafted since 1955.
4. He started off on the Golden State Warriors. Lin first signed with the Warriors in July, 2010, but rarely played in games before the start of the fourth quarter. His first time on the court for the Worriers earned him seven points, three rebounds(篮板) and two assists (助攻)in just 11 minutes.
5. He is a perfect fit for the Knicks. New York Knicks has been in need of a reliable point guard and to Mike D’Antoni, the Knicks coach who is going through a tough season, Lin is a most unexpected asset (有价值的人). “Lin just does everything easy and the rest of the guys around him are playing the way we want to play,” D’Antoni said. “I think it’s for real, and it can only get better.”
44. How many victories did Jeremy Lin get before beating Minnesota Timberwolves?
A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
45. We can learn from the passage that_________.
A. Jeremy Lin is the first Chinese player in the NBA.
B. Jeremy Lin was highly spoken of by the Knicks coach, Mike D’Antoni.
C. Without doubt the New York Knicks will win championship with the help of Jeremy Lin.
D.After graduating from Harvard, Jeremy Lin became the leading player on the Golden State Warriors.
46. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Wonderful Start for Jeremy Lin in the NBA B. Jeremy Lin’s Easy Road to the NBA
C. Jeremy Lin’s Unusual Life in the NBA D. Jeremy Lin, A talent in the NBA
