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 opposting 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.
