    Individuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. 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. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern 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 (称赞).
    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, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.
    First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from 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 costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希腊式的) tunes, bare feet, and unbound 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 of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
    She was as exciting and eccentric (怪异) in her personal life as in her dance.
    小题1:According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?
    A．Something to conquer.B．A model for movement.
    C．A place to find peace.D．A symbol of disorder.
    小题2:Compared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncan’s costumes were less _________.
    A．costlyB．colorfulC．gracefulD．restrictive
    小题3:Which of the following is not mentioned as an area of dance that Duncan worked to change?
    A．The stage set.B．The music. C．Costumes.D．Movements.
    小题4:We can infer from the passage that the author _________.
    A．appreciates modern dance very muchB．dislikes Isadora Duncan’s dance
    C．thinks highly of individuality D．knows a lot about modern arts
    小题5:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Artists of the Last Century B．Evolution of Dance in the 20th Century
    C．Natural Movement in Dance D．A Pioneer in Modern Dance

    When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite(胃口) and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopeful,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.”
    So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never be thinking of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知)，fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.
    小题1:The text is mainly written to explain ___.
    A．how to keep yourself from being hurtB．how to stay mentally healthy
    C．how and when to remain calmD．why and how to pardon others
    小题2:According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?
    A．Try to figure out why you get hurt.
    B．Write a letter to the person who hurts you.
    C．Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.
    D．Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.
    小题3:Dr. Luskin advised us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because___.
    A．we are not patient enoughB．we’d feel worse accepting other’s apology
    C．people seldom want to apologizeD．people don’t mean it when they apologize

    Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message.
    Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
    Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job?” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task?” You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning, pouting, facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
    1. 小题1:According to the passage, we know _______.
    A．words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
    B．body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
    C．expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
    D．you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language
    2. 小题2:What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph?
    A．We can express ourselves well by body language.
    B．We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts
    C．Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
    D．We use body language to help express ourselves.
    3. 小题3:The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with ______.
    A．looking down uponB．speaking highly of
    C．laughing atD．believing in
