A

February 4, 2019 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 NB A

．

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

·

2

·

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,

2019

，

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

．

Knicks fans developed the

nickname for him

（林发疯）

．

Time magazine released its 2019 list of the 100

People in the World

．

No doubt, Lin fever is continuing to spread if you haven't already caught

A

A

firm

handshake

is

key

to

interview

success

．

As

any

serious

job- hunter

knows,

it

helps

to

dress

smartly and smile at that all-important interview

．

But research has showed that a firm handshake is what

really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers

．

The

US

research

looked

at

98

undergraduates

taking

part

in

mock

（模拟）

interviews

with

businesses

．

As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five

marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact

．

Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly

with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers

．

Students with

·

3

·

wimpy

．

The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than

their male counterparts

．

Professor Stewart said:

first two or three minutes of an interview

．

But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake

that sets the tone for the rest of the interview

．

We don't consciously remember a person's handshake but it is

one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the person's overall personality, and that impression is what

we remember

．

Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands

less

than

men

．

But

when

women

did

possess

a

firm

handshake,

they

were

likely

to

be

evaluated

more

favorably than their male counterparts

．

Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, - as an over enthusiastic

crusher

handshake

can

indicate

self-importance,

a

controlling

personality

and

a

lack

of

trustworthiness

．

The

handshake

is

thought

to

have

originated

in

medieval

Europe

as

a

way

for

kings

and

knights

to

show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons

．

31

．

The passage is probably intended for ______

．

A

．

job-hunters

B

．

an undergraduate

C

．

employers

D

．

handshake raters

32

．

From the first paragraph we know that in an interview ______

．

A

．

dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake

B

．

smile has no effect on impressing potential employers

C

．

a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smile

D

．

dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance

33

．

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A

．

The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave

．

B

．

The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive

．

C

．

Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others

．

D

．

It's said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe

．

34

．

Professor Greg Stewart probably disagrees that ______

．

A

．

a

B

．

the scores by the handshake raters were not related to the employment of the undergraduates

C

．

an undergraduate highly scored by the handshake raters was more likely to be hired

D

．

interviewers

often

decided

whether

to

employ

a

person

in

the

first

two

or

three

minutes

of

an

interview

35

．

What is the main idea of the passage?

A

．

Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a

．

better impression than men

．

B

．

A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake

．

C

．

Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview

．

D

．

Job interview success depends on interviewees' body language

．

C

It's

really

true

what

people

say

about

English

politeness:

it's

everywhere

．

When

squeezing

past

someone in a narrow passage, people say

．

When getting off a bus, English passengers say

·

4

·

you

rather

than

the

driver

．

In

Germany,

people

would

never

dream

of

doing

these

things

．

After

all,

squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job

．

I used to think the

same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite

ways of interacting

（交往）

with people in UK

．

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time

．

When people buy something in a shop,

customer

and

retail

assistant

in

most

cases

thank

each

other

twice

or

more

．

In

Germany,

it

would

be

exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation

．

British students thank their lecturers

when

leaving

the

room

．

English

employers

thank

their

employees

for

doing

their

jobs,

as

opposite

to

Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough

．

Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others

．

Even when I

was

working

and

mistakes

were

pointed out

to

me,

my

employers

emphasized

several

times

but

none

of

their explanations were intended as criticism

．

It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English

people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable

．

This also is showed in other ways

．

British men

still

open

doors

for

women,

and

British

men

are

more

likely

to

treat

women

to

a

meal

than

German

men

．

However,

I do need to point out here that this applies to English

men a bit

more than it would to

Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted

．

36

．

What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?

A

．

He thinks it is artificial

．

B

．

He thinks little of it

．

C

．

He appreciates it very much

．

D

．

He thinks it goes too far

．

37

．

What can be inferred from the passage?

A

．

The author think it's unnecessary to say

．

B

．

In Germany, employers often say

．

C

．

German men never treat a woman to dinner

．

D

．

Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough

．

38

．

We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _______

．

A

．

are more likely to be involved in a fighting

B

．

are as generous as English men

C

．

treat women in a polite way

D

．

．

The author develops the text through the method of

A

．

making comparisons

B

．

telling stories

C

．

giving comments

D

．

giving reasons/examples

D

Every hour spent in watching TV

, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22

minutes, a study suggests

．

And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five

years
