Module 1　Basketball 【美文阅读】　 在美国NBA球员林书豪突然崭露头角后，亚洲各电视网争相把纽约尼克斯队的比赛纳入转播日程。林书豪是第一位在美国出生的华裔NBA球员。让我们一起来走近这位球员的生活吧！ Taiwanese-American Baller Scores with NBA Fans Asian television networks are rushing to add New York Knicks basketball games to their broadcast schedules after the sudden emergence of Jeremy Lin，the first U．S.-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent to compete in the National Basketball Association. Lin,23，has made an enormous impact for the Knicks since being placed in the starting lineup earlier this week.The point guard has averaged more than 20 points and eight assists in leading the Knicks to victory in each of their last three games. His unexpected rise to stardom has sent NBA viewership soaring in Asia.A Chinese television network plans to show Fridays game against the Los Angeles Lakers.Television networks in Taiwan and the Philippines have also added several of Lins games to their schedules.His sudden emergence has been dubbed “Linsanity” in the U．S., with scores of Asian-Americans filling sports arenas，eager to cheer for Lin after the re- cent retirement of eight-time Chinese All-Star Yao Ming.But Lin says he is not overly concerned with all the attention.The New York-based MSG Network says ratings for its Knicks games have increased by 36 percent in the last two games. The California native was not drafted into the NBA after studying economics at Harvard University，an Ivy League school known more for its academics than its sports programs.He eventually signed with the Golden State Warriors (in San Francisco, California)，but played very little before being released last year. He signed in December with the Knicks，where he remained an unknown commodity until a week ago.Since then，his energetic style and calming presence has won praise from Knicks coach Mike DAntoni. 【诱思导学】　 1．What has sent NBA viewership soaring in Asia according to the passage? _______________________________________________ 2．How many Chinese basketball players mentio
