(2015·河北省普高质监

)

Martha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators

of

dance,

whose

influence

on

dance

has

been

compared

with

the

influence

Picasso

had

on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on

architecture.

She

created

almost

two

hundred

dance

pieces.

She

is

often

called

the

Mother of Modern Dance.

Earlier

in

her

life,

however,

Martha

did

not

know

that

she

would

become

a

dancer.

At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha's parents didn't approve

of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the

newly

created

Denishawn

School

of

Dancing

and

Related

Arts,

founded

by

Ruth

St.

Denis

and

Ted

Shawn,

where

Graham

worked

very

hard

to

improve

her

ability

to

dance

because

she was considered too old to begin dancing.

In 1936, Gra

ham made her defining work, “Chronicle”，

which signaled the

beginning

of

a

new

era

in

modern

dance.

The

dance

brought

serious

issues

to

the

stage

for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash

of 1929, the

Great Depression that followed,

and the Spanish

Civil War,

it focused

on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and

costumes.

Graham

continued

to

dance

past

the

age

of

seventy.

Once

again,

she

was

met

with

criticism

from

people

who

came

to

watch

her

shows.

But

she

didn't

give

up.

Her

last

completed

ballet

was

1990's

Maple

Leaf

Rag.

“A

Dancer's

World”

is

an

introduction

to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some

of their methods.

Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the

Presidential

Medal

of

Freedom

in

nineteen

seventy?six.

She

was

the

first

dancer

to

receive the country's highest civilian honor. She died in 1991 at the age of

ninety?six. In 1998,

Time magazine listed her

as the “Dancer of the Century”

and

as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.

Hare,

a

professor

of

zoology

at

the

University

of

Maniloha

in

Winnipeg,

and

his

team managed to record squirrels' alarm researchers studied the sounds

and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached

individually with a video recorder

to capture(

抓拍

)their squirrels

lifted

their

heads

up

and

became

alert(

警惕的< /p>

)

．

Creatures

that

were

more

frightened

simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.

“

In

effect

then,

whistles

that

mix

with

chucks

say

‘

there's

an

enemy

of

average

threat

that's

here

’

，

and

whistles

without

chucks

say

‘

there's

an

enemy

of

seemingly

average threat around here somewhere

’

，

while pure chirps say,

‘

I'm hiding here

because there's an immediate danger.

’

”

Hare told.

Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds are part of an advanced

language that develops just as all other communication systems.

Although

squirrels

risk

their

lives

when

they

call

out

to

warn

others

of

threats,

other

squirrels

might

admire

this

behaviour,

thus

increasingly

the

caller's

social

status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as

birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may

benefit from the alarm calls.

In fact, another Canadian study found that deepvoiced, blackcapped chickadees

have their own language, ing to certain research, there are a lot of

tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in

contact between mates, and raising alarms.

While

chickadees

and

other

birds

are

often

welcomed

into

gardens

by

homeowners,

squirrels

are

frequently

viewed

as

pests(

害兽

).

Hare

wishes

a

greater

understanding

of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide

“hope that hu

mans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these

animals”．
