(2017·绍兴模拟)
I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a boxcar in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head.
Now I am 32. I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity(灾难)can do strange things to people.
It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind.
I believe in life now.
I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of sight made me appreciate the more what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality.
The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes.
The adjustment is never easy.
I was totally confused and afraid.
But I was lucky.
My parents and my teachers saw something in me—a potential to live, you might call it—which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself.
That was basic.
If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life.
When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone.
That is part of it.
But I mean something bigger than that： an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate(错综复杂的)pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this. ” I said. “Take it with you, ” he urged me,
“and roll it around. ” The words stuck in my head. “Roll it around! ” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

February 4, 2017 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 the 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, 2017, 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” (林来疯). Time magazine released its 2017 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. (400W)
