问题     When word got out that Doug Beardsley was introducing a new course this spring — "Hockey(冰球) Literature and the Canadian Psyche(精神)" — the 40 seats in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as Texas and China.   “They think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. They’re right," says Beardsley.
   Students in Beardsley’s class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading Iist included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston, The Good Body by Bill Gaston and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meaning of being Canadian.
   In Beardsley’s words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. "I think that along with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need for mayhem(混乱). So we invent the game and — whammo! — you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that we don’t allow ourselves elsewhere," says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form of saying. "Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. "   “I’m talking about something larger than what happens on the ice and so is the course."
Hockey was invented in Canada because ______.
选项 A、people can get a chance to fight and let out energy
B、the weather of the country is good for the sport
C、people want to show what they can do on ice
D、Canadians like to play sports in a gentle way
答案A
解析 细节题。对应的信息位于最后一段第三句：So we invent the game... as a way of letting out those energies... 即Beardsley认为，加拿大人发明冰球运动是为了释放能量，故选[A]。其余三项中，[B]项有一定的迷惑性，它指“该国天气有利于这项运动”，但由常识可知，与该国天气类似的国家有很多，因此这不是加拿大人发明冰球运动的真正原因。
