三、Nancy 在外地旅游时,接触了非同寻常的面部彩绘,以下是她的个人感悟。根据短文内容,选出最佳答案。
When we think of art, we probably think of painting a picture on strong cloth or special paper, even on the walls of a city. However, in many cultures, people paint on their faces instead.
①
In fact, face painting may be the very first form of art. Painted faces are in different colours and patterns. This has been part of people's traditions for thousands of years. The way that people painted their faces can tell stories and lessons from the past.
②
People still paint their faces for lots of reasons. Patterns on faces connect people to a tribal(部落的) family and can show who is the most important in the family. For fighters, it is a way to make their enemies afraid. Face painting is also used in many ceremonies and special celebrations.
How is face painting important in theatre?
Face painting was important in ancient Japanese and Chinese ceremonies. It was also used in traditional theatres to change the actors' roles. Actors in those countries still wear white, black, and red face paint today to show feelings and make the bad people look dramatic(戏剧性的) and awful.
③
Tribal people make face paint from the natural colours in plants and earth. Plant parts are used to make different colours. The ingredients are dried over a fire and then made into a powder(粉末). This is then mixed with animal fat.
