Fred Astaire was born in Nebraska in 1899. Fred and his sister, Adele, learned to dance when they were very young. Their mother took them to New York to study dance. They performed in their first professional(专业的) show when Fred was ten years old and Adele was twelve. Later, as teenagers, the two danced in many shows throughout the United States. Their first big success was on Broadway in 1917.

The Astaires -- as they were known -- quickly became Broadway stars. During the nineteen twenties, they sang and danced in eleven different shows. They also performed in England. In 1932, Adele Astaire married a British man, and stopped performing. But Fred did not forego his dream. He would go on alone, in the movies.

Fred Astaire had the best skill among all dancers in history. He danced up walls and on the ceiling in the film Royal Wedding. He danced on rooftops in The Belle of New York. He danced on roller skates in Shall We Dance?

Fred Astaire made all this look easy. But it was not. He said: "Dancing is a sweaty job. You cannot just sit down and do it. You have to get up on your feet. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable. I always try to get to know my dance so well that I do not have to think.”

In 1949, Fred Astaire won a special award for his film work from America's Motion Picture Academy. He also won awards from the television industry for a number of his television programs.

Fred stopped dancing in 1970. He was more than seventy years old at the time. He said a dancer could not continue dancing forever. He said he did not want to disappoint(使失望) anyone, even himself. He danced again in public only once after that. It was with another great male dancer, Gene Kelly, in the movie "That's Entertainment, Part Two".

Fred Astaire and his first wife, Phyllis, had three children. Phyllis died in 1954. Twenty-five years later, Fred married race horse rider Robyn Smith. Fred Astaire died on June 22, 1987. He was eighty-eight years old. He was called the greatest dancer in the world. His dancing was called perfect. And moviegoers everywhere will remember him as a great performer whose work will live forever in his films.

拿来与送来

林默涵

①近来,很有些人把鲁迅先生所提倡的“拿来主义”拿来,为自己搬进西方的现代主义、存在主义等等作辩护。其实,这是对“拿来主义”的误解。

②“拿来”是与“送来”相对称的。自从帝国主义者发现我们这个古老的国家以后,首先送来的就是鸦片烟,其数量逐年增加,结果不但捞走了大量银两,而且使中国出现了许多面黧肌瘦的“大烟鬼”。这使得清朝政府中一些较有识见的官吏,也担心这样下去,“数十年后,中原几无可以御敌之兵,且无可以充饷之银”(林则徐),不得不起来抵制鸦片输入了。然而,帝国主义者硬是要“送来”,并且用枪炮迫使你非接受不可,这就是有名的“鸦片战争”。鸦片战争不止一次,还有第二次,第一次香港被占领,第二次圆明园被烧了。

③除了最先送来的英国的鸦片外,接着还“送来”了许多东西:德国的废枪炮,法国的香粉,美国的好莱坞电影,日本的印着“完全国货”的各种小东西。这就使清醒的人们,对于洋货发生了恐怖。鲁迅先生说:这是因为那些是“送来”的,而不是“拿来”的缘故。所以,他提倡“拿来主义”。 

④“拿来”是“要运用脑髓”,根据我们的需要,“放出眼光,自己来拿”的。既不是盲目地乱拿,更不是被迫接受人家“送来”的东西。这就是鲁迅先生所主张的“拿来主义”。拿来是有辨别,有选择的,他举了一个例子:比方一个穷青年,由于某种原因得到一所大宅子,对宅子里的东西就要区别对待,看见有营养的东西,可以拿来吃掉;看见鸦片当然不必丢进毛厕,可以送到药房去供治病之用,但如果欣欣然地自己也躺下来大吸剩下的鸦片,那就是废物了。

⑤我们历来主张向外国先进的科学文化学习和借鉴,而且已经这样做了;但我们也历来反对盲目照搬外国,全盘西化,——事实证明,这是极端有害的。在今天,我们更要引进外国先进的科学技术,为“四化”建设之用,但不能把资本主义社会没落腐朽的文化思想,也当作奇货搬进来。我们要如鲁迅先生所说的“沉着,勇敢,有辨别,不自私”,才能从复杂纷繁的外国文化艺术中,汲取对我们有益的东西,这才是真正实行鲁迅所主张的“拿来主义”。

⑥现在,还有没有“送来”的东西呢? 还是有的。比如,淫秽书刊和黄色录相带之类,就是别人极力要“送来”的,其毒害程度不亚于鸦片烟。虽然送来者不敢像过去那样明目张胆,并且强迫你接受了。但若浑浑噩噩,不加以抵制、清除,一任其流入、泛滥,甚至竟然自己伸手去拿,这种人就真真是十足的废物了。

小题1:第①自然段中“搬进西方的现代主义、存在主义等等”指的是( )

A.英国的鸦片、德国的废枪炮、法国的香粉等种种无用的东西。

B.如美国的好莱坞电影等精神鸦片。

C.西方资本主义社会腐朽没落的文化思想。

D.淫秽书刊和黄色录相带之类的文化遭毒品。小题2:第②自然段中有两个“鸦片战争”,前一个用引号,后一个没有用,这是为什么( )

A.前一个加引号表示特定称谓;

B.前一个加引号表示直接引用;

C.前一个加引号表示强调突出;

D.前一个加引号表示讽刺或否定;小题3:用一句话归纳第②自然段的中心意思。

________________________________。

小题4:第③自然段“就使清醒的人们,对于洋货发生了恐怖”中划线的“这”指代的内容是什么?请用自己的话加以归纳。

____________________________。

小题5:根据第④自然段的内容,给“拿来主义”下定义。
