Unit 4　Section Ⅳ Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2021·威海高二检测) Organizers of Paris 2024 have suggested that breakdancing(霹雳舞) should be included as a new sport in the Olympic sports. The committee is pleased with the suggestion as it is in line with its aim of rejuvenating the Olympics. But, what is breakdancing on earth? Breakdancing is not simply a style of dance. It’s a unique culture with its own history. Popularized by African Americans and US Latinos, breakdancing is an energetic form of dance including stylized footwork and moves such as spinning on the head, hands or knees. It arose in New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s from martial arts moves. The moves, originally learned as a form of self-defence eventually developed into the complex and athletic moves of today Breakdancing is largely improvisational(即兴的)without standard moves or steps. The key is on energy, movement, creativity and certain danger. The people who perform this style of dance are known as b-boys or b-girls. They are also called breakers. From those early roots, breakdancing began to add different moves to their routines, such as “pops”and “locks”， which brought a robotic quality to the dance. That style was popularized in the early 1970s by artists of the time. In the 1980s breakdancing reached a greater audience when it was adopted by mainstream artists like Michael Jackson. Jackson’s moonwalk, a step that involved sliding backward and lifting the soles of the feet so that he appeared to be sliding or floating, caused huge excitement among teens of all races. With the growing popularity over the years, breakdancing has gone from a street phenomenon to one that is accepted by the wider culture. Breakdancing is universal and it is popular with more than one million b-boys and b-girls in France. We hope the energetic dance is to be in the Olympic Games. 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了霹雳舞，并呼吁将其纳入奥运会运动项目。 1．Which of the following best describes breakdancing？__C__ A．Unique and defensive.
