Although he created the game of basketball at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr. James A.
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 the
wintertime. The New England winters were fierce, and the students balked at participating in outdoor
activities. 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 unsuitable 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 players on each sides, 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 the
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.
When basketball was introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Louis, it
quickly spread throughout the world. In 1906, a metal hoop was introduced to replace the basket, but the
name basketball has remained.

correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50
American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the eastern part of their
range, most of these bears have shiny black fur, but in the west they grow brown, red, or even yellow
coats. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white in color. Even in the same litter, both brown
and black furred bears may be born.

Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in length from five to six feet, weighing
from three hundred to five hundred pounds. Their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and
hearing are not as good as their sense of smell.
Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy, and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can climb
trees and cover ground at great speeds. When angry or frightened, it is a formidable enemy.
Black bears feed on leaves, herbs, roots, fruit, berries, insects, fish, and even larger animals. One of
the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike
squirrels, woodchucks, and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually hibernate. Although
the bear does not eat during the winter months, sustaining itself from body fat, its temperature remains
almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.
Most black bears live alone, except during mating season. They prefer to live in caves, hollow
logs, or dense thickets. A litter of one to four cubs is born in January or February after a gestation
period of six to nine months, and they remain with their mother until they are fully grown or about
one and a half years old. Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild, and even longer in
game preserves set aside for them.
