No, somebody had to have invented it. And that somebody would be James Naismith.Born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, this Canadian Gym teacher and physician would soon be the founder of basketball. It all started in December of 1891. Naismith was teaching in Springfield, Massachusetts and was asked by Luther HGulick, the Headmaster of the school for Christian Works to make a new sport. The main idea of the sport was mainly to be played inside when it was too cold to go outside. The new sport also had to keep athletes in their top conditions between the baseball and football season. Naismith began to work. The first gameball was a soccer ball.The first baskets were peach baskets that Naismith cleverly thought of hanging on the wall. From there, the legacy of basketball began. Originally, there was 9 men to each team, but the objective was still the same; to pass the ball to other players on your team and put the ball in the opposing teams net, or basket back then. From there, basketball caught on like wildfire.During 1885 high schools and colleges began to adopt the game, and by 1898, the first Pro League was founded. After the first game played, Naismith drafted 13 rules and regulations, but many more were yet to come. The hoops we know today were invented in 1906.They were steel, with a net hanging from its rim.Dr James Naismith is known worldwide as the inventor of basketball. The concept of basketball was born from Naismiths school days in the area where he played a simple childs game known as duckonarock outside his oneroom schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a “duck” off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.1The purpose of basketball first was probably _.Abuilding up the constitution of high studentsBa kind of subject designed at schoolCa new sport played inside from cold weatherDenriching activities of students解析：选C细节理解题。根据文章第二段第四句话“The main idea of the sport was mainly to be played inside when it was too cold to go outside.”可知，篮球运动的创办是为了避免天气寒冷时在室外活动而发明的新的体育活动。2The founder of basketball was a(n) _， who was born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada.AteacherBheadmaster Cathlete Dplayer解析：选A细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句话“Born in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, this Canadian Gym teacher and physician would soon be the founder of basketball.”可知，篮球运动的创始人是加拿大的一位体育教师兼医生。3When did the Middle School begin to adopt the basketball sport as a game?AIn 1861.

This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，” said Sonja Hilbrand, one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70. Overall, after accounting for grandparents age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren, compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasnt a relative. Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began, while nonhelpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society. Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，” said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering. “Children should take_into_account their parents needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，” he suggested.“It is very important that every individual decides for himself/herself, what proper amounts of help means，” Hilbrand said, adding, “As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity (强度) of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”语篇解读：德国柏林一项研究发现，祖父母适当地帮忙照顾孙辈比不照顾孙辈的老年人寿命长。5What is the caregiving study based on?AHuman evolutionary history.BDemand of modern society.CSocial contact between relatives.DData on many elderly people.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，这一发现是从对500多个70岁以上的老人的数据分析得来的。故选D项。6In Arpinos opinion, childcare _.Ais sure to keep old people away from illnessesBallows old people to live a more meaningful lifeCcreates more job opportunities for old peopleDmakes social activities inaccessible to old people解析：选B推理判断题。根据题干中的Arpinos opinion定位至第五段第一句可知，看护小孩让看护人觉得生活有了目的，因为他们觉得自己对他人和社会是有用的，也就是说，看护小孩可以使他们感觉生活得有意义。故选B项。7What does the underlined part “take into account” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?ALimit.BIgnore.CFavor. DConsider.解析：选D词义猜测题。根据上文中的“too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities”及画线部分后的“. their parents needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”可知，过多的照看责任会使老人无法从事其他有意义的活动，所以孩子应考虑老人的需求、意愿和渴求，同意他们照顾孩子的时间长度和强度的选择。由此可猜测，take into account意为“考虑”，与consider意义相近。故选D项。8What does the last paragraph tell us?AGrandparents can do anything in their own interests.BGrandparents should share more social responsibilities.CProper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents.DCaregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.解析：选C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As long as you do not feel stressed . good for others as well as for yourself”可知，只要你帮忙的强度不会让你感到有压力，这对他人、对你自己都是有好处的。由此可知，适当地照顾小孩对祖父母有好处。故选C项。.阅读七选五Being Alone Without Being LonelyIf youre reading this youre probably really bored and, at the moment, have no one to be with.
