Name: ……………………… THE FIRST SEMESTER 2015-2016 No2

Read the following passage and then do the exercises below.

The Ancient Mexicans used to respect and fear the sun. They were frightened that the sun might stop rising. As a result, they used to make sacrifices so that the sun god would continue to give them day and night and the four seasons.

Farmers, however, used to worship the rain god almost as much as the sun god. Even today there are ruins of great pyramids they used to build to worship the sun and the rain gods.

Another popular god was the wind god, which took the form of a snake with feathers. This feathered snake was also the god of knowledge for the Ancient Mexicans. Under its influence, civilization spread throughout Mexico, which at that time was mostly a peaceful country with plenty of skilled craftsmen and traders. Unfortunately, news of this civilisation eventually spread, and Mexico was invaded from the far north. Later, other people called Aztecs settled in Mexico. At first they used to live on an island in a lake where Mexico city now is. The people used to grow maize and they built beautiful towns and temples, developing Mexico into one of the most advanced civilisations of the time.

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions below.                                                            

          The first reason why many families do volunteer work is that they feel satisfied and proud. The feeling of fulfillment comes from helping the community and other people. In addition, volunteering is a great way for families to have fun and closer. But many people say they don’t have time to volunteer because they have to work and take of their families. If that’s the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You could select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition. For instance, your family can make and donate gift blankets for the old homeless people on holidays. Your family can also spend only one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish in your neighborhood.

1. How do people often feel when they volunteer?

2. Why don’t some people have time to volunteer?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

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, human 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 believed 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 hard to be provided for the 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 theater'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.

The passage supports which of the following statements?

A. Storytelling is an important part of dance 

B. No one really knows how the theater began. 

C. Dramatic activities require the use of costumes.

D. Myths are no longer represented dramatically.
