       Basketball is still a young game. It is just more than a hundred years old. In the winter of 1891, a
certain college(大学) in America was having trouble(麻烦) with its boy students. The weather was so
bad that the students must stay indoors(在室内). Since they could not enjoy(享受) their sports outside,
they were unhappy, and some of them even got into fights(争斗).
      Finally one of the teachers at the college, J.E. Naismith, was asked to invent(发明) a new game for
the students. It was not an easy job because such a game had to be played indoors, and the court(球场)
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. It was played between two teams. To make a score, the ball had to be thrown
into a basket ten feet(英尺) high above the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was a basket. At first, Naismith had planned 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.

根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
     What would you do if you had a ticket for an exciting movie which you want to see very much?
Maybe you would say'' I would like to go to movies." But unluckily,  you will have to get ready for the
math exam tomorrow. What would you do this time? Go to movies or get ready for the exam? If your
answer is giving up seeing movies and working hard for the exam~ we say you have strong self-control.
Self-control is not anything you have with your birth, it needs to be cultivated in your mind.  Sometimes
you are attracted by one of the stories that is not worth reading.  You shouldn't waste your time reading
such a story, or you will feel sorry later.
     Don't go to bed late because of a nice TV movie, or you will go to school late. Neither should you
stay in bed too late on cold mornings, for it is a waste of time. Every one of us has some habits,  a few
of which might keep us from making progress in life. Then we must use our self-control to become free
of them.
     Remember it is necessary for you to cultivate strong self-control.
