The Beginning of Drama
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the 1____ that drama evolved from ritual(宗教仪式).The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings2______ the natural forces of the world-even the seasonal changes--as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to3_____these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to4______ the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 5_______ rituals.6_______stories which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals arose. As time passed,some rituals were7______, but the stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rituals contained the 8________ of theatre because music, dance, masks,and9________ were almost always used.10______, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and 11_______ the entire community did not participate, a(n) 12_______ division was usually made between the “area for acting”and the “area in which an audience sits". Besides,there were performers, and,since considerable importance was 13________ to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals,religious leaders usually 14_________ that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitated(模仿)other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed(用哑剧表演出)the15______ effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun- 16________ an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representatives were separated from17_____ activities.
Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in18_______.According to this view, tales about the hunt, war or other things are told and gradually spread,19_______ through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person.

四.阅读
I start every summer with the best of intentions: to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: Moby Dick on a three-day cross-country train trip:The Magic Mountain in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors , no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond.Attempting The Man Without Qualities on a return to Hawaii,my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes(册),then decided that I'd got the point and went swimming instead.
But this summer I find myself at a loss. I'm not quite interested in Balzac,say, or Tristram Shandy. There's always War and Peace, which I've covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the “War”part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone's name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite--once more into The Waves or Justine, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.
And then there's Stendhal's The Red and the Black, which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒)of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty. It is easy to drink , and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconi's theory: “I take whatever's fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park , making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut , sun beating through the lids...
