阅读下面一篇短文，从1~3各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
Last weekend, I took Lucy to a park, where she discovered a track with large bumps（凸块）and sharp turns. At first, I thought Lucy was able to ride her bike along the track, but she quickly found that her bike was too low to the ground and kept getting stuck on top of the bumps.
Lucy looked at me with fear because she was still a biking newbie. I tried to encourage her too, but really, I was thinking-- this is going to be a disaster. Not because I thought she would get hurt. More because I thought she wouldn't be able to pick up enough speed to balance, then got really discouraged, and gave up quickly. I imagined her throwing her bicycle to the ground and then crying all the way home.
But I was only half right. Lucy did have a lot of trouble riding the bike. She couldn't find her balance. She fell many times. At one point, she almost started crying because younger kids were getting angry that she was slowing everyone else down. But she did not give up. She kept picking herself up and trying again. She even took the bike off the track and into the main park to practice pushing off and picking up speed on a flat ground. When she felt more confident, she came back. Then she did it over and over again until she finally reached her goal of going around the whole track without falling once. Then she didn't want to leave and everyone was cheering her on.
This was not a day that ended in a disaster. It was a day when Lucy learned that perseverance pays off.
1. What does the underlined sentence probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Lucy would get hurt and cry all the way home.
B. Lucy would fear to ride the bike and get discouraged.
C. Lucy would lose balance and slow the younger kids down.
D. Lucy would have trouble riding the bike and give up soon.
2. What did Lucy take the bike into the main park for?
A. Being cheered on by everyone. B. Getting practice in an easier way.
C. Feeling more confident and coming back. D. Reaching her goal of riding the bike at once.
3. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Playing in the Park Is Fun B. Perseverance Pays off
C. Don't Be Afraid of Falling D. Riding Bikes Is Art
C
