The humorous story is strictly a work of art--high and delicate (精美的) art--and only an artist can tell it; But no art is necessary in telling the comic and witty stories; anybody can do it. The art of telling a humorous story--I mean by word of mouth, not print--was created in America, and has remained at home.
The humorous story is told seriously; the teller does his best to hide the fact that he himself even suspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh.
When he gets through, and sometimes, if he has had good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the point of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause (喝彩), and then repeat it again.
Which story takes the longest to tell? ()
A.The humorous story.
B.The witty story.
C.The comic story.
D.All three take the same amount of time.

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well,but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand-he wants to teach them. and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain,because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors,not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors,out of the countless billions possible,is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors,or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose:their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at,that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern,that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(生坏疽的)leg and another a lake in moonlight,each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something,showing us something,emphasizing something-all of which mean that,consciously or unconsciously,he is trying to teach us.
All artists are common in that______.
A. they use shapes and colors instead of words
B. they are trying to teach the public
C. what they want to teach is difficult to explain
D. they want to learn from the public
