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 wintertime. The New England winters were fierce, and the students balked at participating in outdoor activitis. Naismith determined that a fast-moving game that could be played indoors would fill a void after the baseball and football seasons had ended.
First he attempted to adapt outdoor games such as soccer and rugby to indoor play, but he soon found them suitable for confined areas. Finally he determined that he would have to invent a game.
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 side of each side, organized the first basketball game. The early rules allowed three points for each basket and made running with the ball a violation. Every time a goal was made, someone had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball.
Nevertheless, the game became popular. In less than a year, basketball was being played in both United States and Canada. Five years later, a championship tournament was staged in New York City, which was won by the Brooklyn Central YMCA.
The teams had already been reduced to seven players, and five became standard in the 1897 season.

The following text is used to answer the questions no. 16 – 20

A recent study revealed that fathers in a home where both parents reside spend an average of three minutes per day with each child individually. Many distractions keep children and their fathers apart.
I come from a family of five children. My parents had decided that it was important for my mother to be home full-time to manage the household and the children. That meant my father had to moonlight as a musician in bands that played for conventions, wedding and company dinners. His extra work often kept him away evenings and weekends. From early age we all understood why this work was necessary. But each one of us missed our father’s presence at time we could have been deeply influential in our lives.
It is common for a father’s work to prevent intimacy from developing between him and his children. Even if he loves his work because it gives him a chance to be creative and to develop his gifts, it may not be good for his children.

II QUESTIONS FOR NUMBER 46-50
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS RIGHTLY!

Reading Comprehension

In the beginning, Mother Earth and Father Sky had many children, called Titans. Zeus was a child of one of the Titans. He grew to be king of the gods. He was a great ruler and decided to populate the earth with people and animals. He gave the job of making the creatures to Titan brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus. It was decided that Pandora would be the first woman on earth.
All the gods and goddesses gave Pandora gifts before she was sent to earth. Aphrodite gave her beauty and charm. Apollo gave her the gift of music. Athena gave her wisdom. And Zeus himself, gave her the gift of curiosity. Then Zeus handed Pandora a lovely golden box. It had a very tight lid. Zeus told Pandora to take the box with her to earth. “But,” he warned her, “you must never, never open it.”
Zeus sent Pandora to Epimetheus. “She is your gift for making all those animals for the earth, “Zeus said. Prometheus had warned Epimetheus never to accept gifts from Zeus. But Epimetheus saw how lovely Pandora was. He forgot his brother’s words. Epimetheus fell in love with Pandora. They became husband and wife.
Pandora put her box on a high shelf. She remembered Zeus’s warning. She told herself she’d never open the golden box. But in time her curiosity grew stronger and stronger. One day, when Epimetheus was away, she climbed up to the shelf.
“I must know what is inside this box!” Pandora said. “Just one little peek couldn’t hurt. Since it comes from the gods, it must be something wonderful!”
Pandora shook the box a little. She heard something scurry about inside it. This made her all the more curious. She lifted the lid just the slightest crack.
Suddenly the box seemed to leap out of her hands. The lid fell off, and the most terrible things came flying out of it. Roars, screams, howls, and moans filled the room. It grew very dark. Awful things came out of that box. Some had wings. Some slithered and crawled. Some had pointed ears, long tails, and sharp fangs. There creatures were envy, greed, sickness, and sorrow. They were hunger and prejudice, and evil of every kind.
“Oh, no!” Pandora cried. She knew she had done something terribly wrong. She slammed the lid down the box. But it was too late. The creatures had escaped. They swirled away, carried by the wind to every corner of the earth. Only one, called Hope, remained inside. Hope stayed in order to help humans fight what had escaped Pandora’s box.
