Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five. He broke into show business because his mother, a music-hall performer, lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage, and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song. Halfway through the song, a shower of money poured onto
the stage. Charlie stopped singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song. The audiences laughed. This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin’s fabulous(神话) career.Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world. His dream came true in the world. His dream came true in the end. Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues. Instead, he coninued to make films without dialogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland, where he was buried at Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book, Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life. He says, “You have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret.”

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam 36
to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was 37 .This was their last exam—then on to graduation and jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they would get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 38 and able to take 39 of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a（n） 40 task, as the professor had said they could bringeither books or notes they wanted, requesting， only 41 that they did not talk to each other during the test.
42 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles appeared on the students’ faces as they 43 there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed before the professor began to 44 the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor 45 the class.
He looked at the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 46 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students 47 restlessly(不安地) in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained 48 .
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want you to 50 you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively common in everyday 52 .
” Then smiling, he 53 , “You will all pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 54 .”The years have 55 the name of the professor, but not the lesson he taught.

Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.
Mrs. Neidl’s 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !" I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing --- only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I’d put in. It was that year that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn’t known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 .

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We’re moving house.’; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn’t know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
小题1:How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
| A．Shocked. | B．Sympathetic. | C．Annoyed. | D．Upset. |
| A．felt worried | B．was angry | C．ate a little | D．sat by the fire |
| A．saw her puppies | B．heard familiar barking |
| C．wanted to leave the author | D．found her way to her old home |
| A．time | B．effectiveness | C．importance | D．complexity |
