Stand-up comedy is becoming popular among the young in China. One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh.
Stand-up comedy is different from other forms of acting. An actor usually has a script(剧本) to fall back on and a team of other actors to rely on. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. A stand-up performer fails or succeeds depending on his or her own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy has often been described as one of the hardest acts to complete successfully.
Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can include a monologue(独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere — clubs, bars or parties.
Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the West, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock & Roast(《脱口秀大会》). All of its three seasons were popular, especially the third season. When the third season came out last summer, it took the Internet by storm and soon became one of the hottest TV shows in China. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people have begun watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax.
1.What’s the purpose of stand-up comedy?
A.To share ideas. B.To make fun of people.
C.To introduce a new art form. D.To bring people laughter.
2.How are stand-up comedy performers different from actors?
A.They create characters. B.They must follow the scripts.
C.Their success is much easier. D.Their success depends on their own talent.
3.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A.The history of stand-up comedy
B.How stand-up comedy changes people’s life
C.Stand-up comedy is getting popular in China
D.What are needed to be a stand-up comedy performer

Stand-up comedy is becoming popular among the young in China. One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh.
Stand-up comedy is different from other forms of acting. An actor usually has a script(剧本) to fall back on and a team of other actors to rely on. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. A stand-up performer fails or succeeds depending on his or her own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy has often been described as one of the hardest acts to complete successfully.
Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can include a monologue(独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere — clubs, bars or parties.
Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the West, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock & Roast(《脱口秀大会》). All of its three seasons were popular, especially the third season. When the third season came out last summer, it took the Internet by storm and soon became one of the hottest TV shows in China. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people have begun watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax.
1.What’s the purpose of stand-up comedy?
A.To share ideas. B.To make fun of people.
C.To introduce a new art form. D.To bring people laughter.
2.How are stand-up comedy performers different from actors?
A.They create characters. B.They must follow the scripts.
C.Their success is much easier. D.Their success depends on their own talent.
3.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A.The history of stand-up comedy
B.How stand-up comedy changes people’s life
C.Stand-up comedy is getting popular in China
D.What are needed to be a stand-up comedy performer

Stand-up comedy is becoming popular among the young in China. One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh.
Stand-up comedy is different from other forms of acting. An actor usually has a script(剧本) to fall back on and a team of other actors to rely on. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. A stand-up performer fails or succeeds depending on his or her own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy has often been described as one of the hardest acts to complete successfully.
Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can include a monologue(独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere — clubs, bars or parties.
Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the West, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock & Roast(《脱口秀大会》). All of its three seasons were popular, especially the third season. When the third season came out last summer, it took the Internet by storm and soon became one of the hottest TV shows in China. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people have begun watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax.
1.What’s the purpose of stand-up comedy?
A.To share ideas. B.To make fun of people.
C.To introduce a new art form. D.To bring people laughter.
2.How are stand-up comedy performers different from actors?
A.They create characters. B.They must follow the scripts.
C.Their success is much easier. D.Their success depends on their own talent.
3.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A.The history of stand-up comedy
B.How stand-up comedy changes people’s life
C.Stand-up comedy is getting popular in China

Stand-up comedy is becoming popular among the young in China. One person, man or woman, stands on stage and tells funny stories, or funny people or funny things that happened to them. The performers will try their best to make people laugh.
Stand-up comedy is different from other forms of acting. An actor usually has a script(剧本) to fall back on and a team of other actors to rely on. Unlike an actor, a stand-up performer is showing himself or herself but not creating characters. A stand-up performer fails or succeeds depending on his or her own talent. It usually takes days or even weeks of hard work to make people laugh for a few minutes. That’s why stand-up comedy has often been described as one of the hardest acts to complete successfully.
Stand-up comedy can take many forms. It can include a monologue(独白) on funny things that may form a story. It can be simply a series of jokes. It can also be performed almost anywhere — clubs, bars or parties.
Stand-up comedy has come a long way in the West, but it is a new art form in China. Today the most popular stand-up comedy show in China is Rock & Roast(《脱口秀大会》). All of its three seasons were popular, especially the third season. When the third season came out last summer, it took the Internet by storm and soon became one of the hottest TV shows in China. The show is such a big success that it has opened a new door to the golden age of stand-up comedy. More and more young people have begun watching stand-up comedy, and some even start doing it part-time. They say it’s a great way to relax.
1.What’s the purpose of stand-up comedy?
A.To share ideas. B.To make fun of people.
