Playing basketball isn’t ladylike. That’s what Jewell Chapman’s high school headmaster told her in 1961 when he was against the girls’ basketball program.
“We were very discouraged, ” said Chapman, a forward(前锋)for her high school team of Des Moines.
Nearly 50 years later, Chapman is back on the playground. She’s 62 and plays for “Hot Pink Grannies”, joining about 10 other women on a team whose uniforms are black trousers and hot pink socks. They play in the Iowa Granny Basketball League.
It’s one of dozens of basketball leagues for women over 50 that have arisen across the country. For some, it’s a chance to exercise and meet people; for others, it’s a once – refused chance to make up.
“You see more and more elderly women’s teams taking part in state and national competitions,” said Michael Rogers, a professor in sports studies at Wichita State University. “In the future it will be something common to have leagues like this.”
Yearly surveys by the National Sporting Goods Association show the number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball at least 50 times a year has grown from 16,000 in 1995 to nearly 131,000 ten years later.
The women on the Hot Pink Grannies are good – natured but competitive when game time comes.
“I think I’m tough” says Colleen Pulliam, 69, showing off her strong arms at her challengers in a game against “Strutters”, known for their bright yellow socks.
Granny Basketball Leagues and similar groups spread quickly through much of the country, including California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

The average man who uses a telephone couldn’t explain how a telephone works. He takes for granted the telephone, the railway train , the airplane, as our grandfathers took for granted the miracles of the gospels(福音书里的奇迹). He neither questions nor understands them. It is as though each of us investigated and made his own only a tiny circle of facts. Knowledge outside the day’s work is regarded by most men as a gewgaw(花哨无用的东西).Still we are usually in reaction against our ignorance.We excite ourselves sometimes and think deeply.We enjoy thinking about anything at all一about life after death or about such questions as is said to have puzzled Aristotle.“Why sneezing from noon to midnight was good,but from night to noon unlucky”.One of the greatest joys known to man is to take such a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge.The great pleasure of ignorance is.after all.the pleasure of asking questions.The man who has lost this pleasure or exchanged it for the pleasure of dogma(教义),which is the pleasure of answering,is already beginning to stiffen(僵化).One envies so inquisitive(好盘根究底)a man as Jewell,who sat down to the study of physiology in his sixties.Most of us have lost the sense of ignorance long before that age.We even become proud of our squirrel’ store -house of knowledge and regard increasing age itself as a school of omniscience (无所不知).We forget that Socrates was famous for wisdom not because he was Mr. know-all but because he realized at the age of seventy that he still knew nothing.
57.The underlined part “made his own” probably means“ ”.
A.produced something by himself B.made believe by himself
C.made his own way D.found out the truth by himself
58.From the passage we may infer that .
A.the writer values those who often ask “why”
B.the writer regards these who like asking “why” are very silly
C.the writer is against the idea that one is never too old to learn
D.the writer is for the idea that one should know everything
59.From the passage we can see the most joyful the writer think is .
A.to master useful knowledge B.to know a great deal just as Socrates
C.to seek the truth D.to learn at one’s sixties
60.The best title of the passage is .
A.Socrates is Ignorant to Learn B.Seeking Knowledge Makes One Happy
C.To Learn the Miracles of the Gospels D.To Learn Is Asking for Trouble
