Basketball is one sport -perhaps the only sport-whose exact origin（确切的起源）can safely be told. During the winter of 1891 -1892, Dr James Naismith, a college instructor（大学讲师）in Springfield, Massachusetts, invented the game of basketball in order to provide（提供）exercise for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseball season. He attached（系）fruit baskets overhead on the walls at opposite ends of the gymnasium（体育馆）, and, using a soccer ball, organized（组织）nine-man teams to play his new game. In this new game the purpose（目的）was to toss （投）the ball into one basket and try to keep the oppsting team from tossing the ball into the other basket. Although there have been many changes in the rules（such as the reduction of the number of players on a team from nine to five）, the game is basically（基本地）the same today. The United States soldiers took it to the Philippines in 1900 and to Europe during World War I, and, being adopted（被采用）by foreign countries , it soon became a world-wide sport. It is interesting that although basketball was made as an indoor game, in other countries it is now played almost entirely（完全地）outdoors.

3. Basketball is mainly played indoors _______ according to（按照）the passage.
A. in the United States B. in Europe
C. in the Philippines D. in most countries
4. What does writer say is particularly unusual（尤其不平常）about basketball as compared with（与……比较）other sports?
A. It was invented for college students but became popular only after it was adopted by soldiers.
B. It began as an indoor game but later became equally（平等地）common as on outdoor game.
C. We know exactly when, where, and by whom it was invented.
D. We know exactly when it was first played outside of the country of its origin.
5. What connection（联系）does the writer mention between the game of basketball and the game of soccer?
A. Basketball was made to provide exercise for students before the beginning of the soccer season.
B. Basketball was invented by a well-known soccer player.
C. Basketball has replaced （代替）soccer as the most popular sport in some countries.
D. Basketball was first played with a soccer.
