Basketball was invented

in 1891 by a physical education instructor in Springfield,
Massachusetts, by the name of James Naismith. Because of terrible weather in winter, his
physical education students were indoors rather than outdoors. They really did not like the idea of
boring, repetitive exercises and preferred the excitement and challenge of a game. Naistmith
figured out a team sport that could be played indoors on a gymnasium floor, that involved a lot of
running, that kept all team members involved, and that did not allow the tackling and physical
contact of American style football.
* challenge:n, sự thách thức (to take up/ to accept a challenge). * to figure out:
