In the beginning, human beings 37 the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 38 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to 39 the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 40 rituals. 41 stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were 42 , but the stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama.
Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rituals contained the 43 of theatre because music, dance, masks, and 44 were almost always used. 45 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and 46 the entire community did not participate , a(n) 47 division was usually made between the “ area of acting “ and the “ area in which an audience sits ”. Besides, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was 48 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually 49 that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitated (模仿) other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the 50 effect—success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun— 51 an actor might.

A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily gymnastic or that are 55 of animal movements and sounds.

A
There will come a time when you must decide to lead the life someone else has chosen for you… or the life you want.
According to legend, when a young boy asked the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo why he was working so hard hitting the block of marble that would eventually become his greatest sculpture, David, the artist replied, “Young man, there is an angel inside this rock, and I am setting him free.” In The Angel Inside, the well-known consultant and career coach Chris Widener uses Michelangelo’s words to explore the hidden potential that exists within us all.
In this unforgettable tale, Tom Cook, a disillusioned（幻想破灭的）American businessman, has traveled to Italy looking for direction in his life. In Florence, the last city on his tour, Tom meets a mysterious old man who opens his eyes to the art and life of Michelangelo and reveals what the artist’s work can teach him — and all of us — about the power of following your passion.
Whether you are looking for a way to reinvigorate your career or searching for the courage to begin a new one, The Angel Inside is a must-read if you want to find true meaning in your life and work.
The break-out business story that’s already sold more than 70,000 copies, The Angel Inside tells the story of a young man searching for meaning in his work and finding it in an unlikely place: the life and art of Michelangelo. Advance Praise for The Angel Inside
“The Angel Inside is a powerfully simple story that helps you discover your potential for a passionate life!”
— John C. Maxwell, author, speaker and founder of INJOY Stewardship Services and
