Individuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed (称赞). Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas. First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art. Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希腊式的) tunes, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal. Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom. She was as exciting and eccentric (怪异) in her personal life as in her dance. 小题1:According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?

石榴郭沫若①五月过了,太阳增加了它的威力,树木都把各自的伞盖伸张了起来。不想再争妍斗艳的时候,有少数的树木却在这时开起了花来。石榴树便是这少数树木中的最可爱的一种。②石榴有梅树的枝干,有杨柳的叶片,奇崛而不枯瘠,清新而不柔媚,这风度实兼备了梅柳之长,而舍去了梅柳之短。③最可爱的是它的花,那对于炎阳的直射毫不避易的深红的花,单瓣的已够陆离,双瓣的更为华丽。那不是夏季的心脏吗?④单那小茄形的骨朵已经就是一种奇迹了。你看,它逐渐翻红,逐渐从顶端整裂为四瓣,任你用怎样犀利的剪刀也都剪不出那样的匀称,可是谁用红玛瑙琢成了那样多的花瓶儿,而且还精巧地插上了花?⑤单瓣的花虽没有双瓣的豪华,但它却更有一段妙幻的演艺,红玛瑙的花瓶儿由希腊式的安普刺变为中国式的金垂(殷、周时代古味盎然的一种青铜器)。博古家所命名的各种绣彩,它都是具备着的。⑥你以为它真是盛酒的金罍吗?它会笑你呢。秋天来了,它对于自己的戏法好像忍俊不禁地,破口大笑起来,露出一口皓齿,那样透明光嫩的皓齿你在别的地方还看见过吗?⑦我本来就喜欢夏天。夏天是整个宇宙向上的一个阶段,在这时使人的身心解脱尽重重的束缚。因而我更喜欢这夏天的心脏。⑧有朋友从昆明回来,说昆明石榴特别大,籽粒特别丰腴,有酸甜两种,酸者味更美。⑨禁不住唾津的潜溢了。石榴是夏天的心脏。对此,你如何理解?
