A
Seven years of careful design and planning all came together on Monday，when James Cameron became the first human to make a solo trip to the deepest known point on earth―the Challenger Deep！More importantly though，he appeared safely seven hours later，plete with exciting photos and videos from this dark mysterious world that has been visited by only two humans before!
Seated inside a specially built 12－ton green submersible(潜水器) called the Deep Sea Challenger，the brilliant filmmaker caught every moment of his 2－hour－36－minute journey down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench on video―given that it is 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and a mile deeper than Mount Everest.
Absolutely nothing！There were no large alien creatures or mysterious footprints―just a flat desolate(荒凉的) landscape，50 times larger than the Grand Canyon.Mr.Cameron describes it as “devoid(缺乏) of sunlight，any heat，any warmth”．The only things swimming around，were some tiny shrimp－like(虾状的) creatures no bigger than an inch.
While the 57－year－old had expected to spend six hours at the bottom，he was forced to return in three，because the robotic arm that was supposed to help him collect samples went wrong and began lea king oil.He also lost some thrusters(推进器) and a whole starboard side，causing the submersible to spin around in circles.
However，these small setbacks did not make the whole trip any less exciting for Mr. Cameron.The director，who returne d to the surface in a speedy seventy minutes，believes this is just one of many trips he and other adventurers will be taking.In fact，Sir Richard Branson，the founder of the Virgin Group，is currently in the midst of planning a similar trip to the Puerto Rico Trench that lies five miles below the surface of the water.Though Mr. Cameron is promising to move his historic trip into an exciting 3－D National Geographic documentary，he is tight－lipped about how the experience will be used in his next movie！We cannot wait to see!
【解题导语】　经过七年的精心策划和准备，Cameron成功地完成了去Challenger Deep的探险，并带回了许多珍贵的照片和录像。

A．there are some mysterious footprints
B．the landscape is not very large
C．there are many fish

Like all dance movements，modern dancing has developed over time as ideas have changed.
By the turn of the 19th century，s ome ballet dancers were getting ti red of dancing the style of classical ballet and were looking for something more human and express ive. One of these dancers was Isadora Duncan.
Isadora Duncan lived as she died：dramatically.Duncan believed in dancing rather than performance，although she needed to perf orm for ine. But she didn't like that. In fact，she punished family and students when they performed for money. She set up dance schools in Germany，in France and in the new Soviet Union to teach children dance，sometimes financing the schools out of her own pocket. She died without leaving any money when one of her long scarves got caught on the wheel of a car in which she was riding，killing her.
Another influential modern dancer was Martha Graham. Graham was educated by Ted Shawn and Ruth St.Denis. Over her lifetime，Graham choreographed(编舞) more than 180 dances. Her dances varied in their themes. For example，a dance might be influenced by ancient Greek myths，Biblical themes or American history. Unlike earlier dancers，whose dance movements were typically smooth and flexible，Graham's dances always looked stiff.
Martha Graham was one of Twyla Tharp's teachers.Among Tharp's achievements is bining modern dance，classical ballet and music and contemporary popular dances and music to create a new twist to modern dance. When Tharp was 23，she formed her own dance pany，Twyla Tharp Dance，which she was forced to close in 1987 for financial reasons. In addition to creating works for her own pany，Tharp worked with the Joffrey Ballet，the American Ballet and the New York City Ballet on performances that crossed traditional dance and music lines.
Modern dance continues to develop today as new dancers with different training and musical preferences move dancing into the future.
