单选题The role of the performing artist is to interpret, not ______, the notes on a printed sheet of music.

单选题The swimming sky of oceanic expanse in Van Gogh"s The Starry Night; the human figure born of marble by the careful hands of Rodin; the graceful, ethereal figure of Degas"s ballerina; all communicate both emotion and essence in a world where aesthetic reigns supreme. Art has forever been humankind"s tool for expressing the ineffable, a form of communication when words fail or are wholly inadequate. Art challenges the artist by constructing a world in which opposing forces— impulse and control, emotion and thought, ideation and actuality—must cooperate to produce a piece of art. The artist must wrestle an almost untamable creative force for control in order to grant space to its expression. The process of facing and governing this force while conveying it to others makes artistic creation an especially valuable therapeutic tool for the emotionally disturbed. The process of creation and the created product are equally valuable parts of therapeutic art. Creating art requires balancing two aspects of personality that are, in the case of the emotionally disturbed person, especially irreconcilable. Like all artists, the emotionally disturbed person must learn to control and harness the dangerous, unpredictable forces of creation while remaining sufficiently unrestrictive to allow its expression. Balancing these forces in a constructive way while granting full play to both is an important ability to master, one that art therapy teaches particularly well. The emotionally disturbed artist"s goal is not the perfect expression of an aesthetic ideal. Yet communicating the mind"s content and having it recognized by others is intensely valuable to the disturbed artist"s healing. Taking ideas out of the isolation imposed by the mind and reproducing them in a form that can be shared and understood by others releases those ideas from the mind and removes from them some of their power. Using the brush where the pen and voice fail allows others, like the therapist, to recognize, understand, and begin to deconstruct the mind"s content. Artistic creation allows emotionally disturbed people to communicate ideas they are unable to express in words, and it provides therapists with an otherwise unobtainable window into the mind. Examination of their artistic pieces reveals an inner world that the self of the disturbed person cannot express another way. Art then becomes a new therapeutic medium through which to understand and address the complex issues that threaten and haunt the disturbed person, and in which to free them.

单选题Man is a gregarious creature. Companionship plays an important role in human development at all stages in life. The hours that a child plays in company with his peers expand his life space, help him to develop his physical skills, and provide him with experience in getting along with others. Contact with peers becomes the primary means for the adolescent to achieve independence from parents and the attainment of status as an individual in his own right. Finding a congenial social group is one of the major development tasks of adulthood. In the later years of life, the loss of the loved ones through death, the preoccupation of sons and daughters with their own adult problems, the decline of physical powers, and the loss of occupation all serve to make the search for companionship of lifelong importance in the satisfaction of fundamental psychological needs. As long as one lives, adjustment will be conditioned by the capacity for, and skill in the conduct of companionship. It is necessary that you practice effective means for getting along with your peers so that negative attitude will not be aroused in others. The capacity for establishing effective relationships with others results from social contacts, not primarily from what one learns out of books. You need to preserve friendships. In college this means the participation in at least one club or organization and in at least some extracurricular campus activities. This participation will aid you in improving your social skills and will provide you with desirable companionship. In seeking satisfaction from companionship, you also need to cultivate a deep friendship with several special persons with whom you can share your triumphs and disappointment. It is a psychological fact that telling your troubles to another person affords release from psychological tensions, provides feedback so as to give you a truer and more valid perspective of your problems, and aids you in more realistically resolving your problems. True, special friends will overlook your shortcomings and at the same time assist you in evaluating and overcoming your difficulties. The benefits of such special companionship cannot be all one-sided or there would be no friendships. Your special friends have the right to expect and receive these same satisfactions from you. This being so, you are contributing to their mental health at the same time that they are contributing to yours. Thus, from such close companionship you receive the double benefit of feeling that you are worthy and have personal significance and that your need to help others is being met. Social competence fosters economic and occupational efficiency because our work is surrounded and conditioned by the existence of others. You will recall that the chief reason for job failure is not lack of knowledge of how to do the job but inability to get along well with others.

单选题It was so hard to keep her eyes open. She had cleaned all day and now must rock the cradle into the night. Behind her slept the infant"s mother. Before her, the baby. Her hand rocked, and rocked, ever a little slower. She could force her wary eyes no longer. Her head drooped. And the cradle stopped. A moment later her brief repose was shattered by a flash of fiery pain as an angry lash whipped across her neck. The infant had begun to cry when the cradle stopped. The mother had woken. And Harriet Tubman, the slave girl, was for a season wide awake as adrenaline flooded her aching body. Little did anyone realize it, but those cruel lashes would ultimately work against those who imposed them; for in her trials, Harriet was learning the endurance she would need in later years as she spent many sleepless nights leading hundreds of slaves to freedom. Harriet"s own escape took place when she was in her early twenties. Rumor had it she and two of her brothers would be separated from their family and sent further south the following day, never to return. That night, Harriet and her brothers ran, guided only by the North Star and hearsay that "lovely white ladies" waited in the North to receive fugitives. Some distance into the night, Harriet"s brothers grew frightened. There was no logical basis for hope that they would make it. The North was so far away, and search parties would be after them in the morning. Harriet"s brothers gave up and turned back. She could not convince them to press on, but press on she did. Alone. Hiding by day and moving by night, appealing for food from those she prayed would be friendly—and were—Harriet crossed into free territory many days later. " I had crossed the line of which I had so long been dreaming, " Harriet recalled, " I was free; but there was no one to welcome me, ... I was a stranger in a strange land, and my home after all was down in the old cabin quarter, with the old folks, and my brothers and sisters. But to this solemn resolution I came; I was free, and they should be free also; I would make a home for them in the North, and the Lord helping me, I would bring them all there. " And this she did. She endured hunger and hardship, danger and difficulty, returning nineteen times to lead three to four hundred slaves to freedom—including all her family except one sister and her three children. When the Civil War began, Harriet served as a scout and hospital nurse for the Union Army without pay, helping to free hundreds more of her people. Aptly she came to be known as "Moses" among northerners and southerners alike. Toward the end of her life, as the first biography of Harriet Tubman"s life was being written, one of those who knew her well summed up Harriet"s character, saying "... Harriet"s willingness to endure hardship and face any danger for the sake of her poor followers was phenomenal. "
