阅读下列短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal and ended up doing lots of research on how to achieve it? As you learned more and more, it seemed you knew less and less. That is because when you learned a new concept, you found that there was a lot more to know about it.

Usually, people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea. There is nothing wrong with learning a lot, but when you let learning get in the way of doing, you will never get going.

One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get from those actions. Don't be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step. You will go further than those who are still in preparation. It's good to be prepared, but over­preparation in trying to reach a goal won't get you results. The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked up along the way.

Learning more is great but if all you're doing is learning and not taking action, it's time to change that. Just take the first step.

(1)、When people learned something new, what did they find?
A、There was less to know about it. B、They knew nothing about it. C、There was everything to know about it. D、They needed to know more about it.

A、People need to learn a lot before trying a new idea. B、One of the best ways to learn is to take action. C、Learning has nothing to do with doing. D、Over­preparation is not good for reaching a goal.
(3)、What should a baby do when it wants to learn how to walk?
A、get up and start walking B、sit there and think about how to walk C、learn from its parents D、read books about how to walk

The speech bubble* is a way to show words spoken by characters in comics* or cartoons. The birth of the speech bubble was in the seventeenth century in England. Since then, it has been used together with drawn characters. At that time, cartoonists used the speech bubble sometimes. A cartoon called Hogan's Alley began to use it all the time in 1895. In Japan, they still had to wait until the 1930s to have the speech bubble. 

A speech bubble usually has two parts – the bubble and the tail. The bubble has the messages that the character wants to express. The tail helps tell who has spoken the words. So the tail is always pointed to the character. If a character can't be seen in the picture, the tail may be pointed towards the bubble itself.

There are diverse speech bubbles. One of the most common bubbles is the thought bubble. It usually shows what the character is thinking about or an idea in a cloud-shaped or square bubble. How about expressing strong feelings? The jagged edge bubble can help to show anger or excitement. But when you want to make your character express a secret or just whisper some words, a bubble with dashed lines may be the best choice. One of the funniest bubbles is the wavy bubble with a wavy tail. It sends readers the message that the character is so tired.

The speech bubble is necessary for expressing spoken dialogues. Comic artists must carefully choose and place it in order to express the proper meaning and not to puzzle the reader. The proper use helps bring characters on the paper to life, for they have a "voice".

Tom and Mike were good friends, and they began to work in a company together the same year. They both worked hard. After several years, however, the boss made Mike manager (经理) but Tom was still an office worker. Tom couldn't stand it, so he handed a letter to his boss, saying that he decided to resign (辞职) his job because the boss didn't value his hard work at all.

The boss knew that Tom worked very hard for years. He thought for a moment and said, "I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your mind." Tom agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out if there was anyone who sold water-melons in the market. Tom returned soon. He said he had found a man selling watermelons. The boss asked the price of the watermelons. Tom shook his head and went back to the market again. When he returned, he told the boss it was $2 for each kilo.

The boss told Tom to wait for a moment in his office, and he called Mike in. He asked Mike to find if there was anyone selling watermelons in the market. Later Mike returned and said, "Only one man is selling watermelons, $2 for each kilo. He has 100 watermelons in all. Every watermelon weighs about 2 kilos. They were brought here two days ago, pretty fresh and sweet." Tom got to know the difference between Mike and himself. He decided not to resign his job any more.

If you go to a club and pay to hear someone tell funny stories, there is a performance called "stand-up". Stand-up comedy (单口喜剧) started in Britain and the US more than 150 years ago. It has come a long way in the West, but it is a new kind of TV show in China. More and more young people began watching stand-up comedy, and some even started doing it part-time. Unlike the Western's, the Chinese stand-up comedy is much shorter, lasting five to ten minutes long.

So far, the most popular one in China is Stand-up Comedy 2024 on the Internet. More than 50 performers from China and abroad join the show. A graduate (研究生) talks about the problems when he is looking for jobs. A British man tells his funny stories while living in China. A grandpa shares what happened to him and his children when they live together. Their colorful stories and different ideas on life put wonder into this season's program. The show is such a big success that it has opened a door to the golden age of stand-up comedy.

Today there are stand-up clubs around the world. Why is stand-up comedy so popular? Because people think it is simple and fun. All you need is one person to stand up and make the whole room laugh. The performers are telling their own stories in a straightforward (直接的) and funny way, which makes people forget about their worries and leave a big smile on their faces. So if you're looking for a good time full of laughter, choose stand-up comedy.
