in Italy in the 1400s, but ballet as it is danced today began in France. During the reign of King Louis XIV, in the
1600s, it was officially recognized as a form of art. The French Royal Academy of Dance was founded in 1661
to promote ballet.
Traditional, or classical, ballet follows strict rules and traditions. There are standard positions for the arms,
legs and hands, and special movements that make the dance flow smoothly.
Classical ballet uses orchestras (交响乐团), fine scenery and splendid costumes. Many ballets tell a story,
but the dancers do not speak any words. They act out the story, using their bodies. The person who arranges
the dance movements is called the choreographer (舞蹈指导).
Some ballets are very famous. They have been danced for many years. Giselle, a story of a tragic young
village girl who dies in love-stricken grief, was first performed in 1841. Two other long-time favourites are
Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. These two ballets are as famous for their music as for their dancing.
Modern ballets often look very different from classical ones. They include freer, more modern dance steps.
Sometimes, instead of telling a story, they dwell on certain moods or themes. Special effects may be produced
with lighting, rather than scenery.

by bowing instead of shaking hands. It is impolite not to return a bow to whoever bows to you.
Bowing has many functions in one. It expresses the feeling of respect, thanks, regret, and so on. You can
bow when you say, "thank you", "sorry", "hello", "goodbye", "congratulations", "excuse me", "good morning",
and more.
Bowing seems simple, but there are different ways of bowing. Bowing techniques vary from a small nod
of the head to a long, 90-degree bow. It depends on the social position or age of the person you bow to. If
your opposite is of higher social position or older than yourself, you are supposed to bow deeper and longer
than him or her. It is polite to bow from your waist. Men usually keep their hands at their sides, and women
usually put their hands together on their legs with their fingers touching. If it is not a very formal situation,
you can bow by nodding. The most common bow is a bow of about 15 degrees.

The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the
16th century. The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it
its name-"misi" meaning "great" and "sipi" meaning "water". When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is
added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. 1_____. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta
(三角洲), it is 2480 miles long.
Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping
away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions
homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. 2_____.
Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place,
the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th
century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to
themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta. 3_____.
4_____. Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In
1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This
city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the adventurous men and women who opened up
the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.
Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above
the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. 5_____. New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of
the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic.
B. Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood waters
C. Therefore, as we know, it"s the third longest river in the world
D. It is known that the "Great Water" has also been a frontier river
E. However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune
F. The "Great Water" always remains a thread, for the streets of the city are below the"level of the river
G. They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving their own
traditions
in postcards across the world, it rarely fails to attract tourists at the first proper sight.
Yet the authorities open only certain sections of the wall as fit for viewing, and few get to visit the
unauthorized sections. Fewer still are aware of the existence of at least one part of the Wall that remains
in almost original condition, nearly 1, 500 years after construction of legendary fortification began. But
there"s a good reason for this-it"s underwater.
American journalist Steven Schwankert has been diving since age 10. It was through his setting-up
of a diving school that Schwankert came to explore some of lesser-known areas of China"s Iakes-and
discovered the underwater Wall under a reservoir.
"The most fascinating piece of diving I ever did in China must be the Great Wall. I managed to find
out about it via the Internet It wasn"t difficult to get to Pan Jiakou in Hebei Province, near the East Qing
Tomb about 4 hours" drive from Beijing. Why do I want to dive the Great Wall? Why do people want to
walk on the Great Wall? It"s the same answer."
There are, however, advantages of visiting the Great Wall in a diving suit over being on foot. The
water acts as a preservative by preventing the kind of mass tourism that has brought trouble on other
parts of the Wall. "Unlike the people who walk in the Wall, we as divers never need to actually touch it.
I"ve dived twice there, the last time in July. I found that the water then was much deeper than it was
before-13 meters deep.." When he first dived, parts of the Wall were visible above the surface. Now
even the guard tower is completely submerged. "It"s better that the Wall is deep under water, as there
are lots of boats coming in and out around that area. Their wave action could potentially damage the
brickwork. So, the deeper, the better."
B. walking along on the Wall
C. diving the underwater Wall
D. visiting some famous lakes
B. Washed by water.
C. Preserved by water.
D. Covered by water.
B. Advantages of visiting the underwater Wall.
C. The reasons why the Wall is deep under water.
D. The reasons why the underwater Wall is protected.
B. Diving the Wall is popular with divers all over the world.
C. DiVing is a good way to visit the Wall without causing much damage.
D. More and more tourists will come to visit the underwater Wall in China.
a temple celebrating the Greek goddess Athena, it was for thousands of years the church of the Virgin Mary
of the Athenians, then a mosque (清真寺), and finally a ruin. The building was changed and the sculptures
much damaged over the centuries. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained.
Between 1801 and 1805, Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, which controlled
Athens, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities, removed about half of the
remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself. Lord Elgin loved Greek history and
transported the sculptures back to Britain. The arrival of the sculptures in London had a huge effect on the
European public, greatly increasing interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary artistic
trends. These sculptures were acquired from Lord Elgin by the British Museum in 1816 and since then they
have all been on display to the public, free of charge.
Since the early 1980s, however, the Greek government has argued for the permanent removal to Athens
of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum. They have also challenged the British Museum Board
of Trustees" legal title to the sculptures.
The British Museum, however, insists that it exists to tell the story of cultural achievement throughout
the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day. The museum
considers itself an important resource for the world: the breadth and depth of its collection allows the world
public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of interconnected world cultures.
It also says that, within the context of this unparalleled collection, the Parthenon sculptures are an
important representation of ancient Athenian civilization. Each year millions of visitors admire the artistry of
the sculptures and gain insights on how ancient Greece influenced-and was influenced by-the other civilizations
that it encountered.
B. pray to their god
C. search for sculptures
D. learn about its complex history
B. the Greek government
C. the Parthenon
D. the British Museum Board of Trustees
B. Ancient Greek culture has greatly influenced world culture.
C. The British Museum has made much money from the Parthenon sculptures.
D. The British Museum is the place most capable of preserving these sculptures.
B. He worked for the Ottoman Empire.
C. He saved the Parthenon sculptures from being destroyed.
D. He had a deep interest in Greek culture.
B. what people can see in the British Museum
C. why the British Museum refuses to return the sculptures
D. the influence of Greece on British culture
