Question
the first question is a bit difficult to answer. it seems that two different toymakers started making teddy bears around the same time, each one not knowing about the other. a toymaker named morris michtom started making them in late 1902 in the united states. meanwhile, richard steiff was designing his first teddy bear in germany, which he brought to an exhibition in early 1903. there is no evidence that steiff copied michtom or vice versa. they simply had the same idea simultaneously.
it’s much clearer why the bears became known as teddies. in 1902, us president theodore “teddy” roosevelt went on a hunting trip. roosevelt’s associates trapped and harmed a black bear and tied it to a tree so that the president could “hunt” the animal more easily. roosevelt refused to shoot the captive bear, claiming that this was not true sportsmanlike hunting. although the bear did not ultimately survive this encounter, teddy roosevelt’s refusal to kill the bear became the subject of cartoons that inspired morris michtom to name his bear after the president.
new teddy bear toy after the president.
new teddy bears can be found in the hands of children all over the world. it’s not necessarily important to know why they carry this name, or precisely who made the first one. the important thing is that they bring joy, cuddles, and warm
based on its use in paragraph 3, which situation could be described as sportsmanlike?
a tom secretly uses nonstandard footballs that are easier for his team to catch and throw.
b marge shoves her elbow into an opposing player’s nose during a game of basketball.
c rita shoots a goal immediately after her opponents’ goalkeeper has just been injured.
d taylor shakes his opponent’s hand and congratulates him after losing a tennis match to him.
To determine which situation is "sportsmanlike", we analyze each option:
- Option A: Using nonstandard footballs to gain an advantage is unsportsmanlike as it's unfair.
- Option B: Shoving an elbow into an opponent's nose is unsportsmanlike (violent and against sportsmanship).
- Option C: Shooting a goal immediately after the goalkeeper is injured is unsportsmanlike (taking advantage of an injury).
- Option D: Shaking hands and congratulating an opponent after losing shows respect and good sportsmanship, aligning with the idea of "sportsmanlike" (fair, respectful behavior in sports).
