During his life Dr James Naismith worked as a doctor, taught P.E and wrote several books. While he never thought it very important, Dr Naismith is today best known for one thing. He was the inventor of basketball.
Dr James Naismith was born in Canada in 1861 and his first job was at a special sports school in the USA. One day the school principal told James he was having a problem with the students. Because of heavy snow, the students could not go outside. He told James that they needed a sport the boys could play indoors and gave the teacher two weeks to think of something.
It was on the very last day that James came up with his idea. The “birth of basketball” is said to be on December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the basketball games of today. It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon after, the game changed to 5 players on each side, using special “basketballs” through nets.
Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the Games in Berlin.

“Uno,dos,tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother,Matt,sat across the kitchen table from him.
“What are you doing now,James?”asked Matt,slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.
“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”
“Why do you have to count out loud?Why does it have to be in Spanish?”Matt asked.
“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”
“I’m going to another room,”Matt said as he picked up his books.
“Okay,but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.
A few weeks later,James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there,Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.
“James,”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says?”Matt asked,expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.
To Matt’s surprise,James read the sign out loud.“The sign says,‘Hello. Welcome to our store,” James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish,but he did not realize that his brother was advancing that quickly.
“I can also read that sign over there,”James said,pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.
“Well,James,”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”
“Spanish is easy and fun to learn,”James replied,smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”
Matt thought about James’s remark and said,“That’s a great idea!”

A survey of British parents showed the aspirations (志向) of their children are greatly different from what they dreamed about when considering who they wanted to be when they grew up.
Although astronaut (宇航员) still remains fairly high on the list of careers (事业) kids dream about these days, others like doctor and teacher have been taken the place of by the desire (欲望) to win good name and money as a sporting hero, pop star or actor.

Parents also praised job happiness above wealth (财富) when it comes to their hopes for their children.
Nearly 70 percent of the parents surveyed thought that they failed to follow their dreams when it came to their career, with 37 percent thinking it was caused by a lack of aspiration and not having the necessary conditions.
