It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo - a logo that flies. Its a new form of advertising in the sky thats never been used before. Its a different way to market your products, logos, and events.These funny logos are made with soap bubbles （肥皂泡） mixed with a little helium gas （氦气） ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves.

It seemed you knew less and less. That is because when you learned a new concept(概念). 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. Dont be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step. You will go further than those who are still in preparation. Its good to be prepared, but over-preparation in trying to reach a goal wont get you results. The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked up along the way.If a baby wants to learn how to walk, it doesnt do it by just sitting there and thinking about how to walk. The best way for a baby to walk is to actually get up and start walking. Sure it may fall, but with every fall, it learns what is working and what is not and adjusts(调整)to it. By doing this over and over, it will finally learn to walk. This is the method you should use when you want to achieve your goals as well. It works.Learning more is great but if all youre doing is learning and not taking action, its time to change that. Just take the first step.（1）When you learned something new, you found there was to know about it. A . lessB . nothingC . everythingD . more（2）Which is NOT true according to the passage? A .
