解析：综观全文，总结各段大意（详见文章结构分析）可知，文章在第二段的冒号处点明了主题：Americans have generally stopped growing，即美国人的身高不会再有所增加，所以只有C项充分表达了该内容。此项是主题句的改写，故为正确选项。整个文章说明的主体都是美国人，将概念扩展到人类显然是阅读理解中经常设置的错误选项，本文论述的主题是美国人身高不再变化，显然change及cyclic等动态的词来描述不符合文意，故排除A项；B项陈述正确，但与主旨无关；D项中的genetic patter

One winter day in 1891, a class at a training school in Massachusetts, USA, went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of young men felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher, James Naismith, had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on the new game that would have the excitement of American football. Naismith showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym, and explained that they were going to use a round European football. At first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. “Pass! Pass!” Naismith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary baskets, with bottoms, and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to climb up every time when a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball had become one of the world’s most popular sports.1、 When did the story happen?AIn springBIn summerCIn fallDIn winter2、 What did Naismith do to entertain his students one day?AHe taught them to play an exciting new gameBHe took them to watch a basketball gameCHe trained them to play European footballDHe let them compete in getting balls out of a basket3、 According to the write, what was the problem with the new game?AThe players had difficulty understanding the complex rulesBThe players found the basket too high to reachCThe players soon found the game boringDThe players had trouble getting the ball out of the basket4、 How was the problem with the new game solved?ABy alerting the size of the basketBBy simplifying the complex rulesCBy removing the bottom of the basketDBy lowering the position of the basket5、 Which kind of ball was used in basketball games at first?AVolleyballBSoftballCAmerican footballDBritish football

The shortest player in the NBA
Spud Webb was born in Texas in 1963. He wasvery small--much smaller than the other kids at school. However, he had a bigdream--he wanted to play in the NBA.
While attending junior high, Spud tried outfor the school team, but he was refused to play at first because he was toosmall. He did not lose heart. When he finally got the chance, he scored 20points in his first game. From then on, he was the star of the team.
In senior high, Spud often had to sit inthe stands because of his height. He practiced even harder and got the coach tochange his mind. Spud went on to become leader of the team. In his last year ofsenior high, he was named player of the Year in Texas.
However, no university would invite him toplay basketball simply because he was only 170 cm tall. He decided to play at ajunior college. There he led his team to the national championship. Thisbrought him to the attention of North Carolina State University. As a result,he succeeded in getting a scholarship.
Although he was a great player atuniversity, the NBA was not interested in him because all its players were morethan 20 cm taller than he was. After he graduated, he was forced to play inanother basketball league. He remained there for about a year before the NBAtook notice of him. In 1985, he joined the Atlanta Hawks and became theshortest player in the NBA at that time. He had many great achievements, buthis proudest moment came in 1986--he won the Slam Dunk Contest.
Through hard work, Spud Webb proved thatsize and body type does not matter—you can do almost anything if you never giveup.
