People have been playing with marbles for thousands of years. The first marbles probably
either river stones that happened to be naturally round enough to roll or, more likely, rounded globs

of clay that were baked for hardness. Such very old clay marbles have been found in both Greek
and Roman ruins, and quartzite spheres have been dated at around 6000 B.C. Harder and more
durable marbles tend to inspire different kinds of games than soft clay marbles, which crack very
easily. So with the advent of hand- rounded and polished marbles made of agate or some other
rugged, igneous rock, the “golden age” of marbles and marbles play flowered. Stone marbles began
to appear in the early 1800s in what is now the southern part of the former East Germany. Shortly
after, handmade glass marbles appeared in the same part of Europe. For the next 120 years, marbles
and marbles playing- there were literally hundreds of games- flourished in both Europe and
America. Marbles players developed their own vocabulary for different sizes and materials of
marbles, as well as for the many kinds of games to be played, and the way marbles were used in the
games. For example, if you were going to play a game of Ring- Taw, one of the most popular and
enduring marble games, you would lag for the first shot, and then knuckle down from the baulk,
trying your best to get a mib or two with your opponent’s immie.

th
century B. in 6000 B.C
C. in the 1970s D. after glass marbles were developed

A. is a game only for children B. has many variations in games
C. is played according to one set of rules D. uses only one kind of marble
5. We can conclude from lines 12- 14 of the passage that the terminology of marble playing is
__________.
