　　  In 1891, Naismith was an instructor at a training school, which trained physical education instructors for the YMCAs. That year the school was trying 【B1】______ up with a physical activity that the men could enjoy 【B2】______ the football and baseball seasons. None of the standard indoor activities 【B3】______ their interest for long. Naismith was asked to solve the problem by the school.
　  　He first tried to 【B4】______ some of the popular outdoor sports, but they were all too rough.  The men were getting bruised from tackling each other and 【B5】______ hit with equipment. So, Naismith decided to invent a game that would incorporate the most common elements of outdoor team sports without having the real physical contact.  Most popular sports used a ball. So he chose a soccer ball because it was soft and large enough that it
　　 【B6】______ no equipment, such as a bat or a racket to hit it. Next he decided 【B7】______ an elevated goal, so that scoring would depend on skill and accuracy rather than on 【B8】______ only. His goals were two peach baskets, 【B9】______ to ten-foot-high balconies at each end of the gym. The basic 【B10】______ of the game was to throw the ball into the basket. Naismith wrote rules for the game, 【B11】______ of which, though with some small changes, are still 【B12】______ effect.
　　 Basketball was an immediate success. The students【B13】______ it to their friends, and the new sport quickly 【B14】______ on. Today, basketball is one of the most popular games 【B15】______ the world.
