　　Many people like animals and keep one or more as pets-dogs, cats and some kinds of birds. If you keep a dog or a cat as a pet, you must know how to look after it. A grown-up（成年）dog needs two meals a day, not more. And it can eat meat, fish, rice and some other things. Dogs like large bones（骨头）, but don't give them chicken bones. Remember to give them much clean water.

Finally, one of the teachers, J. E. Naismith, was asked to invent a new game for the students. It was not an easy joB. He thought for a few days and invented, a kind of ballgame. It was a fast, excitng game with much moving and passing of the ball. It was played between two games. To make a score the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet high above the floor on the wall. At each end of the court, there was such a basket. At first, Naismith had planned to have the ball thrown into the box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use the fruit baskets. That is how the game got its name.
