    Anthony was sad. He was, as he put it, “not very bright” and couldn’t win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever” older brother. At age 8, Anthony was sent away to a boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded with（恳求）his parents year after year not to send
    him. “The thought was ,it would be good for me,” he recalled.
    It was not. Anthony did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied for five years. “My teachers couldn’t have had a lower opinion of me,” he said. “I wasn’t even smart enough to rebel. The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was the desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”
    Now, at 55, Anthony is one of the world’s most successful children’s book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies，and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, has come out.
    The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, an agent for the British intelligence agency M16.
    Anthony says he doesn’t try to write for kids; it just comes out that way.“ I have a feeling that it has something to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action,” he said.
    The style has also made Anthony a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: In both cases, it’s all about entertaining people with a good story.
    Now, Anthony couldn’t be happier with his life. He sums up his success:“…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely.”

     Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph． There is one extra heading which you do not need．

    A． Don’t overlook talented people around you

    B． Seize the opportunity when it comes up

    C． Stay humble

    D． Find the system that works for your style

    E． Keep Honest Forever

    F． Work hard

    1. __________

    Lin（Jeremy Shu-How Lin）got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him． They had too many injuries． Baron Davis was gone． The other point guards were out． Carmelo Anthony was injured． Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death． Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed． But he made the most of it． You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life． Often, they’re when you least expect them． Make the most of them． Don’t waster them．

    2. __________

    Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant． He’s not a pure scorer． He’s a passer and distributor – who can also score very well． It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Houston – where he was before landing at the Knicks． But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths． You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system （a job or organization or industry） that is a good fit for those strengths． Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table．

    3. __________

    You probably manage people at your own company today． Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now? How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with? How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues? We put people around us in boxes． He’s from Harvard． He’s Asian-American． Not sure he can play． How many assumptions have you made about talent around you? Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers． With all their money, scouts（球探）, and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands． Do you know what your people （or even yourself） are really capable of? Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world．

    4. __________

    If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head． It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media craze． It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more．

    5. __________

    Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills． There are no short cuts to hard work． Success is a by product of that． If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great． If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom! Get up early, stay up late． Nobody gave Lin any free passes． Why should you get any? You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know．
