一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分） 1. The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball. In ancient Egypt, as ever, where pitching stone was a favorite childrens game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians（埃及人） made what was probably the first ball. At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines（藤）. Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and filled tightly with feathers or hay. Before long the Egyptians had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.1. What did the ancient Egyptians think about throwing stones?A.
