Basketball is a sport enjoyed by millions of fans in at least 100 countries. It's one of the best-known sports in the world. It all began in 1891.
Dr. James A. Naismith, the father of basketball, was an instructor at a YMCA(基督教) Training school. The school trained people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were concerned about the low attendance during the winter months. They felt that people didn't attend then because the school did not have a good winter sports program. So they asked Dr. Naismith for help. He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied current games. He found that all the most popular games used a ball. So a ball would be a part of his new game, he decided. But kicking the ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoor. So he put 2 peach baskets up on poles. The players had to try to throw a soccer ball into them. Naismith then made thirteen rules for the game. 12 of them are still in use today. Just 7 years after the game began, professional basketball teams were formed.
And that's how basketball was born.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Birth of Basketball
B.YMCA and Basketball
C.Basketball——an Indoor Game
D.A Winter Sports Program

The London 2012 sustainability watchdog embroiled in a row over the sports ship of the Olympic Stadium by Dow Chemical is to push the International Olympic Committee to appoint an “ethics champion” for future Games.
The Commission for a Sustainable London 2012 has been bruised by criticism over Dow’s sponsorship of the wrap that will surround the Olympic stadium, particularly since commissioner Meredith Alexander last month resigned in protest.
Campaigners believe that Dow has ongoing liabilities relating to the 1984 Bhopal disaster that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 20,000 people and the serious injury of tens of thousands more. Dow, which bought the owner of the plant in 2001, insists that all liabilities have been settled in full.
Commission chairman Shaun McCarthy said that its tight sustainability remit did not extend to acting as moral guardian of the Olympic movement but that it would press for such a role to be created when evaluating sponsors for future Games.
In addition to sponsoring the 7m pounds wrap that will surround the Olympic Stadium, Dow has a separate 100m dollars sponsorship deal with the IOC that was signed in.
But McCarthy also defended the commission ’s role in evaluating the Dow deal, after Amnesty International wrote to London 2012 chairman Lord Coe to raise the issue.
“What has been lost in all of this story is that a really excellent, sustainable product has been procured, we looked at Locog ’s examination of Dow Chemical ’s current corporate responsibility policies and, again, Dow achieved that highest score in that evaluation. We verified that. ” said McCarthy.
“As far as the history is concerned and issues around Bhopal, there is no doubt Bhopal was a terrible disaster and snore injustice was done to the victims. Who is responsible for that injustice is a matter for the courts and a matter for others. We have a specific remit and terms of reference that we operate under and we have operated diligently under those terms. ”
The commission will on Thursday release its annual review. It finds that “good press” has been made to wands many of Locog ’s sustainability target, but that “major challenges” remain. In particular, the commission found that there was no coherent strategy to achieve a 20% reduction in carbon emissions after an earlier scheme to use renewable energy feel through when a wind turbine on the site proved impractical.
“We had conversations with Locog over a year ago about this and said they had to demonstrate how they were going to achieve at least 20% carbon reductions through energy conservation if they ’re not going to do it through renewable energy, ” said McCarthy. “There are some good initiatives, but quite frankly they just haven ’t done it.”
Why was Dow ’s sponsorship criticized according to the passage?
A.The products are not sustainable.
B.It was related to Bhopal disaster.
C.It bribed the London Olympic committee.
D.It can ’t reduce 20% of the carbon emission.
What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.Commission ’s role
B.Commission’s achievements
C.Commission’s complaints
D.Commission ’s defense
Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “row” (Para. 1)?A.line
B.argument
C.boating
D.course
What is one of the challenges of the sustainability target mentioned in the passage?A.Ethic champion of the games.
B.Reduction in carbon emissions.
C.The wind turbine proved to be impractical.
D.Renewable energy is not available.
Which of the following can best summarize the passage?A.Commission defends its own role in evaluating controversial.
B.Dow’s way to the 2012 London Olympic Games.
C.Campaign against Dow ’s sponsorship.
D.IOC’s review on the controversy.

Rugby has the reputation of being the roughest sports in the world. Outside the British Isles, rugby is little known and, in fact, is often confused with soccer. But in England, as old sports saying serves to point out the differences between the two games: soccer is supposedly a gentlemen's game played by ruffians, whereas rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen.
The game begins with a kick-off from one end of a 100-yard field. The receiving ruggers, as a rugby team is called, attempt to move the ball down the field, the opposing team attempts to stop the man with the ball.
The rules are quite simple. You cannot tackle anyone but the man who is carrying the ball, and once the ball carrier is tackled, he must give up the ball. Obviously, a good strategy for moving the ball. downfield is to carry it as far as possible, then pass the ball before being tackled.
If the ball carder can travel the length of the field, his team is awarded four points, and another two points are won by kicking the ball over the goalpost after the score. Penalties are equally simple, tackling a player who is not carrying the ball carries a ten-yard penalty. Much of rugby's reputation for roughness stems from the fact that the players wear no pads. To Americans accustomed to seeing professional foot-ball players in suits and helmets like armor, a rugby player's uniform. seems suicidally simple. Most ruggers wear a very thick jersey, heavy gymnasium shorts, heavy socks, rugby shoes, and a mouthpiece. Ruggers use other equipment or pads only when an injury requires protection. But even with this minimal equipment, the game is apparently not as brutal as it might seem. The players are quite satisfied with the lack of padding and helmets and actually think the game might be too rough if players used more equipment. "Human nature is not to hit as hard if no one is wearing pads," one rugger explains. Rugby games are played in two halves, each lasting forty minutes. Teams always meet to play two games consecutively, back-to-back. Again, playing a demanding physical sport like rugby for more than 160 minutes seems like an impossible task, but the ruggers love this idea. "It gives everyone on the team a chance to get into the game," they say. Rugby is slowly catching on in America. The sport is gaining an enthusiastic following among college teams and in independent ruggy "unions" organized on the British model. It has all the appeal of football, but it is simpler and requires much less costly equipment. Rugby is ready to be rediscovered.
The main purpose of this passage is to ______.
A.compare English and American sports
B.compare rugby to football
C.discuss the brutality of rugby
D.provide a brief introduction to rugby
