This year, who “entertained us, challenged us and changed our world”? Absolutely(毫无疑问地), Jeremy Lin, an Asian-American NBA rising star, is one of those people. On April 18, TIME Magazine named him one of 2012’s Most Influential People in the World.
Lin, 23, is not just a good basketball player, but also a graduate of Harvard University, one of the best universities in the world. 
“Lin has broken the idea that one can’t be a world-class athlete on the court and an excellent student off the court at the same time.” US Education Secretary Arne Duncan wrote in the TIME article about Lin.
At 191cm, Lin isn’t especially strong, compared with other point guards (组织后卫) in the team. What makes Lin stand out from other players is his hard work and never-give-up spirit.
“I know how the team works. I may not get an opportunity, but I’m just going to put it all into this and see what happens.” Lin once said. He kept arriving early, leaving late, practicing hard and learning from other experienced players. Finally, when his opportunity came, he started to shine.
“He earned(赚得) it.” Duncan said. “He lives the right way, and he plays the right way. He works hard and stays modest. He sets a good example for young people today. ” What did TIME Magazine name Jeremy Lin?

We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life -- no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness.

This morning when I got up, I was very hungry. I went into the kitchen to make my breakfast. I went into the kitchen and….
“Help!” I cried. “Mice! They’re eating my breakfast!” I really don’t like any mice. However, I really hate mice that eat my breakfast!
I didn’t like the brown mouse and it was eating my bread. I disliked the balck mouse and it was eating my cheese. And I couldn’t stand(忍受) the white mouse and it’s eating my chicken feet! But nobody came to help me.
I closed the door of the kitchen and I phoned Jim. He is my friend and not afraid of mice.
He came and we went into the kitchen. “One, two, three…open!” he said. I quickly opened the door, but there were no mice. How terrible! The only things left were three carrots, half a cabbage, and two pieces of bread. Where did the writer find mice?
