　　My respecting teacher

　　I always thought that a man who was wise (睿智的) and good would become rich, but this year I have learned that this is not always true. I learned this from my teacher. He is both wise and good, but is not rich at all, for being a teacher, he doesn't have a good income. He may be able to get more money if he gives up teaching for business. But he is so proud of being a teacher that he takes pleasure in helping young people. He stays at school from morning till late afternoon and works very hard. He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than anyone whom I've ever known. I think it must be easier to learn history or maths than to learn how to become such a man. He scolds (责备) us when we do something wrong, but it teaches us to try to do better. We all wish to study with him as long as possible, but that may be impossible. Some of us may become doctors, some be come businessmen, some become engineers, some become writers, but we all want one thing very much to become men like our teacher.

[　　]

A. a wise and good person would never become rich

Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Yao Ming – people across the world know these Chinese faces. This year, Jeremy Lin has added himself to the line-up. The 23-year-old is the first Asian-American NBA player since the 1940s – his parents are from Taiwan. In early 2012, Lin was still sitting on the bench after two teams didn’t hire him one after another. He lived with his brother in a small flat, worrying that the New York Knicks would cut him, too.
　 But suddenly, the once-nameless young man became a basketball hero. As of February 16, this year he has led his team to seven straight victories (胜利), including a win over the Los Angeles Lakers in which he scored 38 points, and Kobe Bryant scored 34. In the game against the Toronto Raptors, he made a 3-pointer in the final half-second.
　 He’s scored 166 points in seven games, including 109 in his first four starts — that’s more than any player ever.
　 Kobe Bryant was surprised after playing with Lin, though he knew very little about the Knicks’ newest star before that.
　 “Players don’t usually come out of nowhere,” Bryant said. “If you can go back and take a look, his skill level was probably there from the beginning. But no one ever noticed. I am sure he has put in a lot of work to always have that belief in himself. Now, he has the opportunity to show it.”
　 Lin himself also said that, “there is more opportunity [with the Knicks].” The Knicks have been in need of a good point guard, and Lin is “a perfect fit”.
　 Lin became a basketball hero overnight. How long will his story last? Nobody knows. But, just like the USA today article says, for anyone who has ever had a dream, this is a great story.
