25、rainingDchance to study abroad23（8分） One night I received a Facebook message from Laura, a former classmate. “Hey Steve,” she said, “I know youve always been an animal lover. Ive just had a baby and I cant keep my mini pig.”Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how

26、 to make it happen. I lived in a two-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon, Ontario. Its tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner.But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura Id take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her i

27、n the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. Its better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her.When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know wha

28、t I had done. She complained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house.I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name “Esther”.Es

29、thers arrival changed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals.

Has the art form evolved to depres

33、sion? Jennifer Homanss conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet, Apollos Angels, is worrying.It appears that ballets pulse continues to beat strongly, however, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached. So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying? And do they ha

34、ve a point?“Ballet is dead”-“Ballet is dying” -all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsches philosophical claim: “God is dead.” Headline grabbling, certainly. Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey. To start with, how do you

35、define ballet? What is ballet today? Consider popular modern classics like Twyla Tharps In the Upper Room, where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers, combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together. Or closer to home, there is Graeme Murphys Swan Lake, which layers elements of Petipas ch

36、oreography(編舞) with a contemporary theme and aesthetic. Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles, then manipulate(操縱) the rules. .The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague. In an interview with The Telegraph (2015), British choreographer Mattew Bourne

37、acknowledges that this “cross-fertilisation” between contemporary dance and ballet continues to grow, as evidenced by the rise in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. Referring to Homanss book, Bourne believes what has changed is that “the

38、 dance forms are coming closer together”. Not dying, but merging. Reinventing. This has been the case amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now. .Homans writes that ballets decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine. Something ahs changed, certainly. A stylisic transitio

39、n-from neo-classical to contemporary ballet-has occurred. Our art forms evolution has always been with extinction. Prominent dance critic with The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and again over the centuries,” and yet, “phoenix-like, rose again from its ashes”. Histor

40、y shows there were periods where ballet hibernated and lacked popularity. This coincided with the art forms changing forums.So here is the irony: what sells best, still, are reproductions of Petipas classics. A season without a Tchaikovsky score is a financial risk. And without Nutcracker(胡桃夾子), hal

41、f the ballet companies in North America would not exist. Admittedly, as a dancer, my favourite roles-Albrecht, Prince Siegfried and Romeo-were from the classical canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets). A part of the charm behind classical repe

42、rtoire, for me, was in reproducing the glories of past greats. Classical ballets framework supports the modern process of bench-marking.Perhaps Jennifer Homanss thoughts are not completely unfounded. Perhaps ballet is dying for some. Ballets evolution has been delayed by its audiences. And as Homans

43、 suggests in her epilogue, perhaps also by its creatives.Now here is a bold prediction. In line with the Royal Ballets programming in Brisbane this year-of Christopher Wheeldons The Winters Tale, and Wayne MacGregors Woolf Works-over the next 20 years, ballets reliance on Petipa will decrease.

Essentially, dry ice is frozen CO2. The first report of what we now call dry

49、ice came from the French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 324, the Drylee Corporation of America named the solid form of CO2 as Dry Ice, which is what it is popularly called today.At normal atmospheric pressure, CO2changes directly from solid to gas. It skips the liquid phase（階段）which makes reg

50、ular ice wet. Frozen CO2is also much colder than regular ice. But regular ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, CO2 changes from gas to solid at -21.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This extremely cold temperature makes it very dangerous to handle with bare hands. It can cause frostbite in a very short period

51、of time.Dry ice has been used for a variety of purposes throughout the past century. Its primary use is to refrigerate food when electrical refrigeration isnt available. Through the process of sublimation (when CO2 changes from solid to gas), it can maintain cold food for a long time.If youve ever b

52、een to a play and seen heavy fog on the ground, it is likely that you have seen dry ice in action. This effect can be achieved because CO2 is heavier than air, so evaporated （揮發(fā)的）CO2 will sink and accumulate on the ground.Another interesting use for this substance is to bait（誘殺）insects like mosquito

53、es. These insects have sensors which guide them to CO2. They find the high concentration of CO2 in dry ice quite attractive.Mars has long been a mystery for human beings. We have been looking for evidence of life on Mars. In the 360s scientists guessed that the polar ice cap of Mars was made of froz

54、en CO2. More recent observations have shown that while the topmost layer consists of frozen CO2, the most of it is probably regular frozen water.1、Frozen CO2 gets its name of Dry Ice mainly becauseAit is very easy to make it dryBwe cant melt it and it doesnt get wetCit looks like ice at a low temper
