閱讀下文，回答第 26−30 題 Before babies learn to talk and have no idea of dance, they express happiness through simple rhythmic movements or what we later recognize as simple dances. However, humans are not the only species that can dance. There are birds that actually have group dances: circling, bowing, advancing, and retreating in unison. Some species could learn rhythm from the birds! For example, bees flirt with dance as part of their mating rituals. Nevertheless, it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes. Dance as therapy has a long history. Primitive peoples first danced instinctively and, after a while, found that repeated rhythmic movements produced a good feeling. Associations were formed between dance and this positive effect on the mind and emotions. This was the birth of dance therapy. Dance has always seemed to have a magic healing power. It was used for a wide variety of purposes and on different occasions: religious ceremonies, war dances, hunting dances, rain dances, planting and harvesting dances, marriage and funeral dances. Sadly, today many “advanced” industrial societies have lost many original functions of dance. Purposeful dances have been replaced, for example, with rave dancing which involves shaking your body at a nightclub. Even so, in these cases, however, the ritualistic and therapeutic effect of dance can still be seen: the low lights, loud insistent rhythms, and group activity, often building up into a kind of mass hysteria or ecstasy. But, the “ primitive” use of dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival. Never before has there been such interest in courses offering dance therapy. There are nearly two million websites for dance therapy on the Internet, and dance therapy groups around the world combine pleasure with health and well-being. Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners. It would seem that the “dance of life” continues to move us all.

(A) To describe a healing power of dancing

“勞謙君子，有終吉” 研一下 (2019/11/02):

在嬰兒學說話之前，他們不懂舞蹈，他們通過簡單的節奏運動或後來被我們稱為簡單的舞蹈來表達快樂。但是，人類並不是唯一可以跳舞的物種。實際上，有些鳥群舞：盤旋，鞠躬，前進和後退。有些物種可以從鳥類那裡學習節奏！例如，蜜蜂在交配儀式中與舞蹈調情。然而，只有人類使舞蹈適應了治療目的。舞蹈作為治療已有悠久的歷史。原始民族首先是本能地跳舞，一段時間後，發現反复的節奏運動產生了良好的感覺。舞蹈與這種對思想和情感的積極影響之間形成了聯繫。這就是舞蹈療法的誕生。舞蹈似乎一直具有神奇的治愈能力。它被用於各種各樣的目的，並在不同的場合使用：宗教儀式，戰爭舞蹈，狩獵舞蹈，雨舞，種植和收割舞蹈，婚姻和喪葬舞蹈。可悲的是，今天許多“先進”的工業社會失去了許多舞蹈的原始功能。有目的的舞蹈已被取代，例如，狂歡舞，其中涉及在夜總會搖晃身體。即便如此，在這些情況下，仍然可以看到舞蹈的儀式性和治療效果：昏暗的燈光，響亮的堅持性節奏和集體活動，常常會導致一種大眾的歇斯底里或狂喜。但是，近來，舞蹈作為治療的“原始”使用已獲得巨大復興。從來沒有像現在這樣對提供舞蹈療法的課程感興趣。互聯網上有近200萬個用於舞蹈治療的網站，世界各地的舞蹈治療組將愉悅與健康和福祉結合在一起。實際上，當今的舞蹈療法已被替代醫學醫生和傳統醫學醫生非常重視。似乎“生命之舞”繼續推動著我們所有人。

為什麼文章的作者提到不同的舞蹈場合，例如宗教儀式，婚姻和葬禮？

 （A）描述舞蹈的治愈能力

 （B）說明舞蹈是交往儀式的一部分

 （C）暗示其他醫生偏愛跳舞

 （D）避免通過有節奏的動作表達情感。
