A MULTIPLE CHOICE

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

BASKETBALL

1 Although he created the game of basketball at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr

James A Naismith was a Canadian Working as a physical education instructor at the International YMCA, now Springfield College, Dr Naismith noticed a lack of interest in exercise

among students during the wintertime The new England winters were fierce, and the students

balked at participating in outdoor activities Naismith determined a fast-moving game that could

be played indoors would fill a void after the baseball and football seasons had ended

2 First, he attempted to adapt outdoor games such as soccer and rugby to indoor play, but he soon found them unsuitable for confined areas Finally, he determined that he would have to

invent a game

3 In December of 1891, Dr Naismith hung two old peach baskets at either end of the

gymnasium at the school, and, using a soccer ball and nine players on each side, organized the first basketball game The early rules allowed three points for each basket and made running with the ball violation Every time a goal was made, someone had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball

4 Nevertheless, the game became popular In less than a year, basketball was being played in both the United States and Canada Five years later, a championship tournament was staged in

New York City, which was won by the Brooklyn Central YMCA

5 The teams had already been reduced to seven players, and five became standard in 1897

season When basketball was introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1904 Olympic Games in

St Luis, it quickly spread throughout the world In 1906, a metal hoop was used for the first time

to replace the basket, but the name basketball has remained
