三、相关信息 喜欢打保龄球的人越来越多了,但是你对它的历史了解多少? Scientists think that a game like bowling was played in Egypt thousands of years ago.Toys that look like a ball and bowling pins were found buried (埋葬)with a child who died around 5200 BC. People who study history know that the game was popular in Germany around 200~300 AD.It was played by people in stone churches in order to show that they were good Christians.When people bowled poorly, they had to go to church more often. The first bowling place built inside a building opened in England in 1455.Then the game was taken to the United States where most people played it outside. During the l800s, many people in the United States began to bowl for money, so several cities made the game illegal.Many people kept on bowling illegally.A group named the American Bowling Congress (ABC)began around 1900.The job of this group was to clean up bowling and make it a gentleman's game again. At that time, the game was mostly played by men.If women played, they hung a curtain(帘)up so that the men were not able to see them. Then, in 1916, a woman's group named the Women's International Bowling Congress (WIBC)made a point of showing that the game was fine for both men and women. |
