There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece The one most widely accepted today

is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual

The argument for this view goes as follows In the beginning, humans beings viewed the natural forces of the

world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought, through various means, to control these unknown

and feared powers Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama

Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music , dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided

Trang 2

for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the “

acting area” and the “ 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 Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired

effect -success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun -as an actor might Eventually such dramatic

representations were separated from religious activities

Another theory traces the theatre’s origin from the human interest in storytelling According to this view, tales ( about the hunt, war or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action ,and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitation of animal

movements and sounds

Staggering tasks confronted the people of the United States North and South, when the Civil War ended

About a million and a half soldiers from both sides had to be demobilized, readjusted to civilian life, and reabsorbed by

the devastated economy.

Civil government also had to be put back on a peacetime basis and interference from the military had to be stopped The desperate plight of the South has eclipsed the fact that reconstruction had to be undertaken also in the North, though less spectacularly Industries had to adjust to peacetime conditions: factories had to be retooled for civilian needs

Financial problems loomed large in both the North and the South The national debt had shot up from a modest

$ 65 million in 1861, the year the war started, to nearly $3 billion in 1865, the year the war ended This was a colossal sum for those days but one that a prudent government could pay At the same time, war taxes had to be reduced to less burdensome levels

Physical devastation caused by invading armies, chiefly in the South and border states, had to be repaired This

Herculean task was ultimately completed, but with discouraging slowness.

Other important questions needed answering What would be the future of the four million Black people who were freed from slavery? On what basis were the Southern states to be brought back into the Union?

What of the Southern leaders, all of whom were liable to charges of treason? One of these leaders, Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Cofederacy , was the subject of an insulting popular Northern song, “Hang Jeff Davis from a Sour Apple Tree”, and even children sang it Davis was temporarily chained in his prison cvell during the early days of his two –year imprisonment But he and the other Southern leaders were finally released, partly because it was

unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern Confederate state, would convict them All the leaders were finally

pardoned by President Johnson in 1868 in an effort to help reconstruction efforts proceed with as little bitterness as possible

a Wartime expenditures b Problems facing the United States after the war.

c Methods of repairing the damage caused by the war.

D The results of government efforts to revive the economy

39 According to the passage, which of the following statements about the damage in the South is correct?

a it was worth than in the North b The cost was less than expected

c It was centered in the border sates d It was remedied rather quickly

40 The passage refers to all of the following as necessary steps following the Civil War EXCEPT

d To compare the Northern and Southern presidents

43 The word “ them” refers to a charges b leaders c days d irons

Confederate state, would convict them”?

c Virginian were loyal to their leaders d All of the Virginia military leaders had been put in chains
