题目内容
阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
Dancing is most likely the oldest art of all and out of it have grown acting and most probably, music, since the first musical sounds must have been the beat of the drum (鼓) and the chants (单音调的) of the dances. Early man first danced to express anger, joy and other strong feelings and when he discovered that if he danced in front of another person that person usually wanted to dance as well, he used dancing as a way of passing on his feelings to others.
For example, if the chief man of a tribe (部落) in the Stone Age wanted to get his followers busy hunting for meat, he told them what he wanted not in words but by dancing. For this dance he dressed himself up to look like an animal, perhaps with horns (角) and tail, and jumped up and down, making animal movements and noises. You may think that the head man was acting a part rather than performing a dance, but acting and dancing are the same thing for primitive (原始 的) people; they dance an act and act a dance.
