问题    The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.
   In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching stones was a favorite children’s game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.
   At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines. Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.
   Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.
选项 A、throwing stones often caused injuries
B、throwing stones happened outside
C、games with stones are dangerous
D、big stones were too heavy to throw
答案A
解析 细节题。文章第二段中提到“pitching stones was a favorite children’s game．But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child.”，由此可知：正是因为投掷石子容易伤人，所以埃及人发明了球。
