问题     Read a passage about modern dance. Match the topics (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below.  Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1.
   Many artists late in the 19th century were in search of a means to express their
ndividuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no strict technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trials, errors, and genius founded the techniques and tile principles of the movement. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Martha Graham, but she was the main person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and praised.
   Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in different situations. "Life today is nervous, sharp, and zigzag," she said," it often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my dance. "She insisted she had never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the emotions she had to express could not be expressed through any of the traditional forms.
   This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. Tile theories of psychoanalysis were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry, music, and painting.  Martha Graham’s first dance concert occurred on April 18, 1926. Connoisseurs (鉴赏家) of dance, gathered at the Forty-eight Street Theater in New York, witnessed Martha Graham’s first at-tempt into this new area of dance. They saw that, through such dancing programs as" Three Gobi Maidens", and "A Study in Lacquer", desires and conflicts were expressed through body movements. These critics agreed that something entirely new, a departure from all previous forms, had been created.
   In the early thirties, she founded the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Her classes were used as a laboratory for her stage works, and her stage works in turn were a means for attracting new pupils to her school. Martha Graham and the school she has founded are virtually synonymous(同义词) with the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique of the dance, designed and taught it, but her students have gone out to fill the modem dance world.
   Now match each of the topics (61 - 65) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
