问题    The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball. In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching (投掷) 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 (藤). Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed (塞满) 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 was not fun
C、games with stones did not have rules
D、rocks were too heavy to throw
答案A
解析 细节题。问的是发明球的原因。由文中“But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child.Looking for something less dangerous to throw...”可选出正确答案为A项，“扔石块经常导致伤害”。
