About the year 1 900，a small dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting

outside the back entrances of London theatres．He1  thin and hungry．He was hoping to get work in show business．He could sing and dance．a(chǎn)nd above all，he knew how to2  people laugh．But he couldn’t get work and walked up and down in the city．Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents．

    But twenty years later，this same Chaplin became the greatest best-known and best loved comedian（喜劇演員）in the world．Any visitor to the cinema3  some of Charlie Chaplin’s films．People everywhere4  while seeing them until the tears ran down their faces．Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s film because they are mostly5 ．His words in．the films can’t be heard at all，6 his comedy doesn’t depend on（依靠）words or languages．It depends on actions which mean the 7  thing to people all over the world．Performance without words：plays an important part in the dances and plays in many countries．It’s a kind of world language．People in China．Also love his films very much，8  today．We can see some short films on TV acted by Charlie Chaplin．

    Chaplin9  most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day 1 977 at the age of eighty-eight．The whole world was full of sadness at the news of his10 ．
