音乐的:All over the world people listen to classical music. Classical music is difficult to describe. It means different things to different people.

Some famous classical composers were Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart. In their music, they did not tell a story or show strong emotions. They wanted to make beautiful and interesting music with lovely sounds.

Then composers started to express ideas. They told stories about love and war. They also wrote about religion. Sometimes they composed music for holidays. Through their music composers showed strong emotions. Some of these composers were Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Wagner and Tchaikovsky.

Classical music has been popular for hundreds of years. Bach wrote about 300 years ago. Beethoven wrote about 200 years ago. And Tchaikovsky wrote over 100 years ago.

Sometimes people close their eyes while listening to classical music. It is difficult to understand sometimes. When they close their eyes they have to think about the music. 篮球的：The Origin of Basketball

The challenge that inspired the invention of basketball came from Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, Jr., the superintendent of physical education at the international YMCA Training School. During the summer session of 1891, Gulick introduced a new course in the psychology of play, and Naismith was one of his students. In class discussions, Gulick brought up an issue that was weighing on his mind: the need for new indoor game "that would be interesting, easy to learn, and easy to play in the winter and by artificial light."

Though the class didn't follow up on Gulick's challenge to invent such a game, Naismith found himself revisiting the issue a few months later when the physical education faculty met to discuss what was becoming a persistent problem. With the end of the fall sports season, the school once again confronted the distaste many students felt for the gymnasium work that was mandatory during the winter months. One class was particularly incorrigible, and two instructors had already tried and failed to devise activities that would interest them.

Basketball Introduction

Basketball is an athletic sport, usually played on an indoor court
in which two competing teams of five players each attempt to score by
throwing an inflated ball so that it descends through one of two baskets
suspended, at each end of the court, above their heads. ...
Because of its continuous action and frequent scoring, basketball is one of
the most popular spectator as well as participant sports in the world.
The measurements of American and international basketball courts
differ slightly. The basketball court is a rectangular area ranging in size
from about 29 m by 15 m (about 94 ft by 50 ft) to about 22 m by 13 m (about
74 ft by 42 ft). ... Each backboard is
anchored to a wall, suspended from the ceiling, or otherwise mounted so
that its lower edge is about 2. ... The regulation basketball is
an inflated, leather- or nylon-covered sphere that weighs from 567 to 624 g
(20 to 22 oz) and has a circumference of about 76 cm (about 30 in). Kobe Bryant is the youngest child and only son of Joe and Pam Bryant. His parents named him after a kind of steak: the famous beef of Kobe, Japan, which they saw on a restaurant menu. At the age of six, Kobe, his parents and two older sisters, Shaya and Sharia, moved to Italy, where his father began playing professional basketball. He became accustomed to the lifestyle and became fluent in Italian. At an early age, he learned to play soccer and his favorite team was AC Milan. Bryant once said that if he had stayed in Italy, he would have stuck with soccer and would have tried to become a pro soccer player. In 1991, the Bryants moved back to the United States. A spectacular high school career at Lower Merion High School in the Philadelphia suburb of Lower Merion, brought national recognition. While his SAT score of 1080[2] would have ensured his basketball scholarship to various top-tier colleges, the 17-year-old Bryant made the controversial decision to go directly to the NBA
