问题 There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is 【S1】______ on the assumption that drama 【S2】______ from ritual. People might wonder the relationship between these two things. However, the argument for this view goes as follows.
    In the beginning, human beings viewed the 【S3】______ forces of the word—even seasonal changes — as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these feared powers. Those 【S4】______ which appeared to bring the desired results were then 【S5】______ and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Though it is simple to describe the process, they believe, the actual happening might last long. 【S6】______ stories arose which explained or veiled the 【S7】______ of the rites.
    As time passed, some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, 【S8】______ and provided material for art and drama. Those who believe that drama came from ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater 【S9】______ music, dance, and masks were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for 【S10】______ and there was clear division between the "acting area" and "auditorium". In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task.
