Basketball is still a young game. It’s over a hundred years old. In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad and the students had to stay indoors. As they couldn’t play outdoors, they were unhappy, and some even got into fights from time to time.

　 Some of the teachers at the college asked Dr. Naismith to invent（發(fā)明）a game so that the students might have something to play with. It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors , and the court（球場(chǎng)）was not very large.

　 Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, wonderful game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two teams. To make a score , the ball had to be thrown into the basket ten feet（英尺）above

the floor on the wall. At each end of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr.

Naismith wanted to throw the ball 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.
