阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A,B,C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

  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.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 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.

  The Associated Press called Lin "the most surprising story in the NBA".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.

  No doubt Lin fever is continuing to spread if you haven't already caught "Linsanity" get ready.
