But of course, it hasnt been around since the world began. No, somebody had to have invented it. And that somebody would be James Naismith. Born in A

2、lmonte, Ontario, Canada, this Canadian Gym Teacher and Physician would soon be the founder of basketball. It all started in December of 1891. Naismith was teaching in Springfield, Massachusetts and was asked by Luther H. Gulick, the Headmaster of the school for Christian Works to make a new sport. T

3、he main idea of the sport was mainly to be played inside when it was too cold to go outside. The new sport also had to keep athletes in their top conditions between the baseball and football season. Naismith began to work. The first game-ball was a soccer ball. The first baskets were peach baskets t

4、hat Naismith cleverly thought of hanging on the wall. From there, the legacy of basketball began. Originally, there was 9 men to each team, but the objective was still the same; to pass the ball to other players on your team and put the ball in the opposing teams net, or basket back then. From there

5、, basketball caught on like a wildfire. During 1885 highschools and colleges began to adopt the game, and by 1898, the first Pro. League was founded. After the first game played, Naismith drafted 13 rules and regulations, but many more were yet to come. The hoops we know today were invented in 1906.

6、 They were steel, with a net hanging from its rim. Basketball was on the Olympic programme in 1904, but the event was contested by only a few American club teams and actually served as the AAU (Amateur （业余爱好者）Athletic Union of the USA) Championship for that year. Thus the event is usually considered

7、 only an exhibition. The winning team, incidentally（偶然地）, was the Buffalo German club, which was so dominant in those days that they were inducted（引导；引入） into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a team. In 1936, basketball made its first appearance as a medal sport at the Olympics, and the sport has been

8、 included in every Olympic Games since. In 1976, womens basketball was added to the programme. The United States has dominated international basketball. The USA won all the Olympic titles until 1972 when they were defeated by the Soviet Union. The Soviet women were originally the top team on the fem

9、ale side, winning gold in 1976, 1980 and 1992, but the US women have now surpassed them, winning gold medals in 1984, 1988, 1996 and 2000. Today, basketball has become one of the most popular sports in the world, rivalling （竞争，对抗）football (soccer) for world-wide popularity and trailing only volleyba

19、ortspeople? Give examples.Think & Share1 The author mentions the “simple basket” at the start of the passage in order to show how success is associated with hard work and perseverance, and not with sophisticated or expensive material things. 1. Near the small town of Grottoes,Virginia, a narrow dirt

20、 road goes from the house of StephenCurrys grandfather to the woods nearby.A farcry from the bright lights and shiny courts ofthe National Basketball Association (NBA), itwas along this road that Stephens grandfatherbuilt a simple basket by attaching a piece ofplastic to a telephone pole. 在弗吉尼亚州的格罗托

21、斯小镇附近,一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬库里的祖父家延伸至附近的树林。这与美国男子职业篮球联赛（NBA）赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。正是在这条路上，斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料贴到电线杆上，建了一个简易篮筐。 2. Like his father, basketball star Dell Curry, Stcphen spent many childhood hours playingon this muddy basketball court.He probably didnt realise it at the time,but it was where helearnt to be cr

22、eative and flexible as a player. Yousee, with every shot, the weak plastic back boardgave way. The bumps and rocks that lined theroad under the basket caused the ball to bouncein all directions. Knowing where the ball wouldgo wasnt easy.He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting wi

23、th greataccuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfeetly aimed at its centre went into theheavy,thick basket. In this way, practising dayin and clay out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. 与父亲戴尔库里这位篮球明星一样,斯蒂芬的许多童年时光都是在这个土篮球场上度过的。尽管当时他可能并没有意识到，但就是在这里,他学会了如何成为一名有创造力、能够灵活变通的篮球运动员。你瞧，每次投篮,不牢固的塑

24、料篮板都摇摇欲坠。篮筐下的小路凹凸不平，布满了石块,篮球也因此弹向四面八方。能够判断出球反弹的方向并不容易,因此斯蒂芬必须调整自己的打球方式。他在这里学到的另一项技能是精准的投篮技术。只有完美地瞄准中心，篮球才能进入厚重的篮筐。如此日复一日地练习，斯蒂芬的篮球技术变得炉火纯青。 3. Despite his fathers successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including hishigh school teammates and coaches, to betoo short, too thin and too w

25、eak to follow inhis fathers footsteps.But Stephen carried on.Playing basketball was his dream.He would not give up.He finally ended up playingcollege ball at a small, little-known school,Davidson College, not too far from where helived.His creativity and perseverance madehim Davidson s star player.

26、尽管父亲的职业生涯很成功，但是斯蒂芬的高中队友和教练等很多人都认为他太矮太瘦弱，无法延续他父亲的荣耀。但斯蒂芬继续坚持打球。打篮球是他的梦想,他绝不会放弃。终于,斯蒂芬在规模不大且鲜为人知的戴维森学院成为了一名大学篮球赛的球员,这所学院离他家不算远。斯蒂芬凭借自己的创造性和毅力成为了戴维森学院的明星球员。 4. Selectex for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors.He performed beyondeveryones expectations with his accurateshooting and

27、continuous efforts.In 2015,Stephen won his first NBA championship, andhe led the Warriors to their first championshipsince 1975. 2009年,斯蒂芬入选NBA,加入了金州勇士队。凭借精准的投篮和不懈的努力，他的表现令人刮目相看。2015年，斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军,这也是他带领勇士队获得的自1975年以来的第一个冠军。 5.

28、ow, Stephen explained hisphilosophy, I never really set out to changethe game. What I wanted to do was just bemyself. 1 know it inspires a lot of the nextgeneration, a lot of people who love the game ofbasketball to value the skill of it, value the factthat you can work every single clay to get bett

30、rd work, perseveranceand some help from an old hoop, he has shownthat anything is possible. 在连续两年获得“最有价值球员”奖后，斯蒂芬阐释了他的人生观:“我从未真正想过改变比赛我只想做我自己我知道这激励着很多后辈、很多热爱篮球比赛的人，让他们认识到技术的重要性,认识到你可以通过每天的不断努力而变得更好。你必须肯花时间和精力。这是我走到今天的方法,也是我每一天都能更进一步的原因。”斯蒂芬库里激励着所有人去相信自己，他也生动地证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么人。通过自信、勤奋、毅力,以及一只旧篮筐的帮助，他向人们证明了一切皆有可能。
