Ralph Ellison’s novel, “Invisible Man”, was published in nineteen fifty-two. Ellison was at once called a major new writer. The book won the National Book Award, a high and rare honor for a first novel.
    Since then millions of copies have been printed. The book is still used in many universities and other schools. One professor said that he has used the book in his teaching for twenty-five years. He said that each time he returns to “Invisible Man” he finds new ideas in it.
    After “Invisible Man” was published, Ralph Ellison taught at a number of universities. He retired from New York University in nineteen eighty .While he was alive, he published only two other books .They were books of criticism(批判)and essays(随笔), called “Shadow and Act” and “Going to the Territory”.

    Parts of the book had appeared in magazines during the nineteen sixties and seventies. Ellison had to rewrite the novel after a large part of it was burned in a fire at his home in nineteen sixty-seven. The novel was said to be two thousand pages long. Finally, his friend John Callahan put the book together after Ellison died. The novel was published in nineteen ninety-nine. It was called “Juneteenth”.
    Since “Invisible Man” was published, many American writers have said how much Ellison influenced them.

  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.
