Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. 'Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger. And perhaps the most popular modem dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert. The Ballet Rambert is Britain's oldest established dance company which began in 1926. In the 60s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a "new look" in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent—for musicians and designers as well as dancers—and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the company's previous fans disliked the change, new audiences came to see the productions. The modem dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In 1968 the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London's West End. The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the arts. Later, the Ballet Rambert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.
The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modem dance popular while creating original and often avantgarde(标新立异的) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!
According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. People in Britain and the USA are interested in modern dance.
B. It is popular to learn all kinds of dances.
C. More audiences than before go to watch modern dances.
D. Ballet Rambert is the most popular modern dancer.
