three-pointer at the buzzer, jeremy lin (林书豪) finished the new york knicks dramatic reversed 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 nbas most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. lin, not teams high-paid stars, has saved the knicks season and likely coach dantonis job.after nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, madison square garden is alive again, and new york city cant stop talking about the knicks. to put things into perspective, consider this: just several years back, knicks fans protested nightly outside of the garden calling for the teams 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 hit during a multi-month lockout, 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 leagues 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. 51. according to the passage, jeremy lins excellent performance saved the following except _.a. the nba b. madison square garden co.s sharesc. the knicks d. coach isiah thomas52. the underlined word “young” in paragraph 2 probably means “_.”a. in the early stage b. not old yet. c. not completely grown. d. in the development 53. 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 fans objected to dismissing coach isiah thomas outside the gardenc. the owners and the players didnt agree on raising the tv ratings d. the knicks didnt satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season54. the passage is mainly about _.a. how jeremy lin saved the knicks, probably including the nbab. why jeremy lin became a member of the knicks c. how the knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff d. why the new yorkers thought well of jeremy lin b once dr. mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students. the case at hand was a guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems. his condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live.dr. mellinkoff asked to see the patient. he introduced himself in spanish and , in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt. the patient smiled and said everything was all right. then the doctor asked if he was able to eat. the patient said that he had no desire to eat.“are you getting food you like? ”the patient said nothing .“do you get the kind of food you have at home?”the answer was no .the doctor put his hand on the mans shoulder and his voice was very soft .“if you had food that you liked, would you eat it?”“ yes, yes.” the patient said.the change in the patients appearance couldnt have been more obvious. nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received.later, the doctor asked why the guatemalan man wasnt getting food he could eat. one of the students said, “we all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals.”“suppose,” the doctor replied, “you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didnt carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?”“i would probably insist,” the student said.“very well,” the doctor said. “you might want to try the same method in the kitchen. it wont be easy, but i can help you. meanwhile, lets get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it. or hell be killed by hunger. by the way, there must be someone among you who can speak spanish. if we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him.”three weeks later, dr. mellinkoff told me that the guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power. it takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.55. the patient had no desire to eat because _ .a. he was not hungryb. he
