Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. The beginnings of modem dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed.
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concerts. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (技巧高超) shown by complicated, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from (源自) her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.
Her second contribution lies in dance costumes (服装). She discarded corset, ballet shoes, and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing clothes, bare feet, and unlimited hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies (交响乐) of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
She was as exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.
小题1:. The best title for the passage would be“_________”.| A．Dance in the Twentieth Century | | B．Artists of the Last Century | | C．Natural Movement in Dance | | D．A Pioneer in Modern Dance |
小题2: According to the passage, nature meant_________ to Duncan.| A．something to conquer | B．a model for movement | | C．a place to find peace | D．a symbol of disorder |
小题3: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses_________.| A．Duncan’s further contribution to modern dance | | B．The music customarily used in ballet | | C．other aspects of Duncan’s life | | D．audience acceptance of the new form of dance |

I began working in journalism (新闻业) when I was eight. It was my mother’s idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition (竞争).
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself easily seen, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there?”
“Didn’t sell a single one.”
“My God, Russell!”
Uncle Allen put in, “Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful reporter as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.
小题1:Why did the boy start his job young?| A．He wanted to be famous in the future. | | B．The job was quite easy for him. | | C．His mother had high hopes for him. | | D．The competition for the job was serious. |
小题2:From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______.| A．excited | B．interested | | C．ashamed | D．disappointed |
小题3:The phrase “this battle” in the last paragraph refers to .| A．the war between the boy’s parents | | B．the arguing between the boy and his mother | | C．the arguing between the boy and his customers(顾客) | | D．the fight between the boy and his father |
小题4:What is the text mainly about ?| A．The early life of a reporter. | | B．The early success of a reporter. | | C．The happy childhood of the writer. | | D．The important role of the writer in his family. |
