【題目】 With depressingly few exceptions, performances are dull and lack vitality…

After years of trying to convince myself otherwise, I now feel sure that ballet is dying.”

-----Jennifer Homans, Apollo’s Angels

Is ballet dead? Has the art form evolved to depression? Jennifer Homans’s conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet, Apollo’s Angels, is worrying.

It appears that ballet’s pulse continues to beat strongly, however, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached. So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying? And do they have a point?

“Ballet is dead”----“Ballet is dying” ---all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical claim: “God is dead.” Headline grabbling, certainly. Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey.

To start with, how do you define ballet? What is ballet today? Consider popular modern classics like Twyla Tharp’s In the Upper Room, where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers, combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together. Or closer to home, there is Graeme Murphy’s Swan Lake, which layers elements of Petipa’s choreography(編舞) with a contemporary theme and aesthetic. Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles, then manipulate(操縱) the rules. .

The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague. In an interview with The Telegraph (2015), British choreographer Mattew Bourne acknowledges that this “cross-fertilisation” between contemporary dance and ballet continues to grow, as evidenced by the rise in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. Referring to Homans’s book, Bourne believes what has changed is that “the dance forms are coming closer together”. Not dying, but merging. Reinventing. This has been the case amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now. .

Homans writes that ballet’s decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine. Something ahs changed, certainly. A stylisic transition----from neo-classical to contemporary ballet----has occurred.

Our art form’s evolution has always been with extinction. Prominent dance critic with The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and again over the centuries,” and yet, “phoenix-like, rose again from its ashes”. History shows there were periods where ballet hibernated and lacked popularity. This coincided with the art form’s changing forums.

So here is the irony: what sells best, still, are reproductions of Petipa’s classics. A season without a Tchaikovsky score is a financial risk. And without Nutcracker(《胡桃夾子》), half the ballet companies in North America would not exist. Admittedly, as a dancer, my favourite roles---Albrecht, Prince Siegfried and Romeo----were from the classical canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets). A part of the charm behind classical repertoire, for me, was in reproducing the glories of past greats. Classical ballet’s framework supports the modern process of bench-marking.

Perhaps Jennifer Homans’s thoughts are not completely unfounded. Perhaps ballet is dying for some. Ballet’s evolution has been delayed by its audiences. And as Homans suggests in her epilogue, perhaps also by its creatives.

Now here is a bold prediction. In line with the Royal Ballet’s programming in Brisbane this year----of Christopher Wheeldon’s The Winter’s Tale, and Wayne MacGregor’s Woolf Works----over the next 20 years, ballet’s reliance on Petipa will decrease. Contemporary ballets and merge-styled ballets will produce their box-office influence ever more.

Why?

It is simple: our audiences will be ready for ballet to change again.

1Why does the writer cite Jennifer Homans’s words at the beginning of the passage?

A. To support the writer’s viewpoint.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.

C. To highlight the theme of the passageD. To provide the background knowledge.

Oh, a pity! It’s raining again? Is everybody here? Good. Now listen carefully. I wish the weather is better here for you. It’s very usual to have so and so much snow and rain here at this time of year.

Some of you are asking about tomorrow’s activity on the way here. Well, we’re going to climb the mountain unless the weather gets much better during the night. OK? So, provided that it doesn’t snow too heavy tonight, I’ll see you back here at six o’clock. Set your alarms for 5:30. We’ll take our breakfast with them because we won’t reach the top of the mountain unless we set out early, before it’s light. So be there tomorrow morning with everything you need. You’ve all got a list—you need a whistle in case you get separated from the rest of the group, warm waterproof clothing and gloves, and a good pair of boots. Don’t forget to bring maps I gave you yesterday. I’d rather you didn’t bring large cameras and video cameras.

It’s time we had dinner now, so if that anyone has any questions, you can ask me on the way to the dining hall. Let’s go.

Everyone should take the action to reduce haze(霧霾),which is harmless to our health.First of all,I believe that if we plant more tree,there will be less haze in their city.Trees can absorb exhaust fumes(尾氣)from cars,thus reduce pollution.Second,the government should punish the factories where produce too many fumes.Exhaust fumes is the main cause of haze and do greatly harm to people’s health.Maybe we can move factories to areas where few people live.Third,I think it was a great idea to encourage people to use public transportation.Last but not least,we can call on citizens ride bikes if they travel short journeys.
