  ①Brain-injured boy set for £ 1.75m payout

  A YOUNGSTER who was knocked off his bicycle by a taxi and left with a serious brain injury is set to be awarded £ 1.75 million.

  Fourteen-year-old George Currie, from Dalkeith, was living in country Durham with his parents Allister and Paula at the time of the accident in September 1993.

  George, who was then three years old, was riding his small tricycle along the pavement when he lost control and swerved on to the road into the path of an on-coming taxi.

  The driver's insurance company has now ac cepted responsibility for the accident and New Castle County Court is expected to rule on the payout on Monday.

  ②Boating accidents reduce

  Lee and Collier counties tied at No. 10 for boating accidents in Florida in 2004, an improvement for both.

  But because the counties remained in the top 10 among Florida's 67 counties, safety continues to be a concern, officials said.

  ③Teens react to new law on driving permit

  Lawmakers may hope to make teenage drivers drive more safely, but some local teens behind the wheel feel angry following the passing of Senace Bill 36 last week.

  SB 36 is a law that limits times new teen drivers can drive and the number of passengers

  ④Road accidents take costly toll

  Traffic accidents kill more than one million people each year, injure tens of millions more and cost developing countries twice as much as they receive in international aid, the leader of a research body said Wednesday.

  The figures have led experts to form an international road safety network to choose the most important research areas, inform policy makers and help develop ways to prevent accidents, particularly in poor nations.

  pavement: 人行道

  swerve: 突然转

  insurance: 保险.

  What a week it's been for Jeremy Lin.

  With five breakout games, the Taiwanese-American has become the NBA's newest playmaking sensation.

  In the New York Knicks' 92-85 win over the Los Angles Lakers last Saturday, Lin had a career-high 38 points.And a day later, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory, 100-98, to Minnesota Timberwolves.

  In his previous games, Lin, 23, had 23 points against the Washington, 25 points against New Jersey and 28 more against Utah in his first start.

  No doubt, Lin fever is starting to spread.If you haven't already caught “Linsanity”(林疯狂), get ready because it's coming, as the Knicks pin their championship hopes on the rising star.

  If you want to know more about Lin, here are five facts about him from the Associated Press(AP):

  1.He is smart.Before graduating from high school in Palo Alto, California, Lin sent his resume to all the Ivy League schools.He only got into Harvard and Brown, and he chose Harvard.In 2010, Lin graduated with a degree in economics.

  2.He is the first American player in the NBA of Chinese descent(血统).Lin was born in the US and his family is Asian.Despite not being born in China, Lin has co-opted Yao Ming's old fan base of Asian-American's who see him as a powerful role model.

  3.He wasn't drafted(选拔).After graduating from Harvard, Lin wasn't drafted by any NBA team, which would have made him the first Ivy League alumni(校友)to be drafted since 1955.

  4.He started off on the Golden State Warriors.Lin first signed with the Warriors in July, 2010, but rarely played in games before the start of the fourth quarter.His first time on the court for the Worriers earned him seven points, three rebounds(篮板)and two assists(助攻)in just 11 minutes.

  5.He is a perfect fit for the Knicks.New York Knicks has been in need of a reliable point guard and to Mike D'Antoni, the Knicks coach who is going through a tough season, Lin is a most unexpected asset(有价值的人).“Lin just does everything easy and the rest of the guys around him are playing the way we want to play,” D'Antoni said.“I think it's for real, and it can only get better.”
