问题     About the year 1900, a small, dark-haired boy named Charles Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry but his blue eyes were determined. He was hoping to get work in show business for he could sing and dance. His parents were music hall artists and he had been born into the life of the stage. And, although his own boyhood was painfully hard, he knew how to make people laugh.
    His own father had died from drinking too much. And his mother wasn’t really able to look after Charles and his elder half-brother, Sid, because she was often sick in mind and had to be sent into hospital. Even when she was home with them she seemed to live in a different world. Her illness made the boys very sad.
    As young men, he and his brother travelled to America in a small company of actors and acted in various cities. One day Charles was invited to join a new company that was making film comedies (喜剧). He accepted the offer and soon became popular.
    By the time he was thirty, Chaplin was the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian in the world. He had formed his own films making company and was writing and producing his own films. He was welcomed by excited crowds who surrounded him wherever he went. But he worked very hard and had few close friends.
From the passage, we know that Chaplin’s mother ______.
选项 A、was a dance artist
B、stayed at home everyday
C、had some mental illness
D、could look after her family
答案C
解析 文中第二段对卓别林的父母有描述。他母亲不能照顾他和Sid，因为她脑子有病，得住在医院。且第一段说，他父母都是音乐艺术家，故A、B、D都错，C对。
