So they asked Dr. Naismith for help. He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied games being played at that 25 . he found that the most 26 game was a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided.

Twelve of them are still in use today. Just seven years after the game began professional basketball teams were 30 . and that’s how basketball was born.

When we got to the homeless shelter we passed out the remaining 41 we had left. Next, we began making sandwiches and pairing them with other goodies(好吃的东西)and 42 them with the crowd. I had the cans with my sister’s cookies in them and began to walk around, offering them to anyone near me.

An unforgettable experience
It was a cold winter day. I rushed down the busy road towards the bus stop. Taxis passed me one after another 36I didn’t have enough money to get one. My wallet was in my pocket but 37 I had was a five-yuan note. Taking a bus would 38three, so I would be left with only 39to buy something to eat. I was very hungry as I had only eaten one meal all day. Waiting at the bus stop, I 40eagerly for a store 41I could buy food. Then I heard an old woman’s voice 42
behind me, “Steamed corn(蒸玉米)！Steamed corn！One yuan each!” Her voice was breaking and 43deep despair. Staring at the old woman, I felt pity. She was 44,just like a beggar. But she was much older than the other beggars in the street. Her face was 45and her eyes were full of tears. Her large withered(干枯的) fingers kept a tight hold on her basket of steamed corns. What had happened to her? Why was a woman 46selling corns on such a cold evening? I felt sad. I had to do something. I took the five-yuan note from my wallet and handed it to her. She had said each steamed corn cost one yuan, so I could buy 47. But if I did that, I would have nothing 48to pay for the ticket. I wouldn’t be able to get home. Finally, I decided to give the woman two yuan for one steamed corn, 49my pity for her. To my surprise, she refused to accept the 50one yuan, saying she wanted to work for her money. She was already 51to me because I was the only person to buy steamed corns from her all day.
I was 52moved. She was so old and weak but chose to sell snacks 53beg. From that moment, I had 54for her, and didn’t feel pity any more. The corn was sweet and delicious. But 55made me happier was that I helped a respectable old woman as much as I could.
