What do you know about basketball?
Basketball was invented in 1891
by a Canadian-American teacher
named Dr. James Naismith while
he was working in the US city of
Springfield, Massachusetts. He
invented basketball because he
wanted a game that was not too
rough and that could be played in
an indoor gymnasium.
The sport became very popular because it
didn’t require much equipment, it could be
played indoors (so it could be played in
winter or when it was raining outside), and
it was safe. Nowadays, almost every
primary and high school in the US has
basketball nets in their gymnasium and
many have nets outside as well.
Students compete in teams within their
school, between different schools, and even
between different school districts. Many
American Ss dream of playing professionally
in the National Basketball Association (NBA)
as adults.

happen v. 发生
（1）happen常指具体事件的发生，特
别指那些偶然的或未能预见的事件的
“发生”。
The accident happened at six o'clock.
事故发生在六点钟。
（2）如果表示“某人发生了某事”，
常用结构“sth. +happen (s/ed)+ to+
sb. ”。
Do you know for certain what will
happen to him ?
你肯定他会碰到什么事吗?
（3）sb. happened to do sth. “某人碰巧
做某事”。
I happen to meeting John on my way
home from work.
take place / happen
(1)take place和happen都表示“发生”，
都是不及物动词，无被动语态。两者都
是短暂性动词，不能与“一段时间”的
状语连用。
(2)take place 表示按照预先计划、安排
某事发生。
happen往往表示偶然性的、没有预料的
事情“突然发生”。
The meeting will ______ at 9: 00 in the
morning.
A. happen
B. be happened
C. take place
D. be taken place
【点拨】选C。句意为：会议将在早上
9点举行。happen和take place都有“发
生”的意思，都为不及物动词，都不可
用被动语态。故排除B、D两项。
