  Basketball is still a young game. It is not yet a hundred years old. In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having trouble with its boy students. The weather was so terrible that the students had to stay indoors(室内). Since they could not enjoy their sports outside as usual, they were unhappy, and some of them even got into fights from time to time.

  Finally, one of the teachers at the college, J. E. Naismith, was asked to invent a new game for the students. It was not an easy job because such a game had to be played indoors, and the court(场地)was not very large.

  Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. To make a score(得分), the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet high above the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was such a basket. At first, Naismith had planned(计划)to have the ball thrown into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit baskets instead. That is how the game got its name.

  School education is important and useful(有用的).Yet no one can learn everything at school and a teacher can't teach his students everything they want to know.His job is to show his students how to learn.He teaches them how to read and how to think.So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

  It is always more important to know how to study by oneself(自学).It is quite easy to learn something,but it's difficult to use it to solve(解决) problems.Great inventors(发明家)do not get everything from school,but they can still invent(发明)many things and change the world a lot.
