When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract(合同), but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer Lea
30、gue. 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.

37、t an easy entry into NBA.C. Lin didnt show his basketball talents in Harvard University.D. Lin didnt have a smooth(平坦的) road in NBA.BMany cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city.

38、ing a London subway. It may not look different, but the historical value of one of Englands most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London.
