About the year 1900, a small dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting out- side the black entrances of London theatre. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered(徘徊) about the city streets. 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(喜剧演员) in the world. Nearly all visitors to cinema must have seen some of Chaplin’s films. People everywhere had sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are almost silent. It isn’t what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words or languages. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, of common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It’s a kind of world language.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
选项
A、Because he wanted to enjoy a play in the theatre.
B、Because he was hungry and wanted some food.
C、Because he liked to play a part in a play and thus make a living.
D、Because he wished to become a man of business.
答案
C
解析
由第一段“He was hoping to get work in show business...”可知年轻的卓别林等在剧院的后门人口处是为了得到一份他喜爱并能够维持生计的(表演)差事。
