Article 2 Before babies learn to talk and have no idea of dance, they express happiness through simple rhythmic movements or what we later recognize as simple dances. However, humans are not the only species that can dance. There are birds that actually have group dances: circling, bowing, advancing, and retreating in unison. Some species could learn rhythm from birds. For example, bees flirt with dance as part of their mating rituals. Nevertheless, it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes. Dance as therapy has a long history. Primitive peoples first danced instinctively and, after a while, found that repeated rhythmic movements produced a good feeling. Associations were formed between dance and this positive effect on the mind and emotions. This was the birth of dance therapy. Dance has always seemed to have a magic healing power. It was used for a wide variety of purposes and on different occasions: religious ceremonies, war dances, hunting dances, rain dances, planting and harvesting dances, marriage and funeral dances. Sadly, today many “advanced” industrial societies have lost many original functions of dance. Purposeful dances have been replaced, for example, with rave dancing which involves shaking your body at a nightclub. Even so, in these cases, however, the ritualistic and therapeutic effect of dance can still be seen: the low lights, loud insistent rhythms, and group activity, often building up into a kind of mass hysteria or ecstasy. But, the “primitive” use of dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival. Never before has there been such interest in courses offering dance therapy. There are nearly two million websites for dance therapy on the Internet, and dance therapy groups around the world combine pleasure with health and well-being. Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners. It would seem that the “dance of life” continues to move us all.

請試著觀察文章每一段的推進：作者從第一段提到的生物本能，轉向第二段原始人的發現，最後落腳到第四段的現代醫療應用。請思考一下，這三者之間不斷被重複提及、且用來連結「過去」與「現在」的共同『功能』是什麼呢？

恭喜你精準抓到了這篇文章的核心！能選對 (A) 為標題，代表你具備優異的全文架構分析能力。這類題目最考驗學生是否會被片段細節干擾，而你成功識別出了作者的寫作重心。
貫穿全文的主旋律
這篇文章雖然在開頭提到了嬰兒與動物的舞蹈（選項 D），並在中間段落列舉了祭祀、戰爭或婚禮等不同場合（選項 C），但這些內容其實都是在鋪陳「舞蹈是生物本能」的背景。文章的關鍵轉折點在第二段明確點出的 therapeutic purposes（治療目的），隨後作者便一路追溯「舞蹈療法」的起源、在工業社會的演變，直到最後一段強調現代醫學對其健康效益的重視。標題必須具備涵蓋整篇幅的「統括性」，因此 (A) 是最完美的選擇。
