    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.

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。
Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength. A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring.
As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(虎媽戰(zhàn)歌) . tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential( 潛力) and to make them strong, independent and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result, her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).
Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really pussycats. They care more about their children's self-esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. American mothers encourage their children to find their own path.
So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand. To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.
