(一) Not that Charlie’s own life was easy! He was born in a poor family 【小题1】 1889. His parents were both music hall 【小题2】 (perform). You may find 【小题3】 astonishing that Charlie   【小题4】 (teach) to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially 【小题5】 the family income was often uncertain. 【小题6】 (luck), his father died, 【小题7】 (leave) the family even 【小题8】 (bad) off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking 【小题9】 his mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the 【小题10】 (popular) child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks.

For example, making eye contact — looking into someone’s eyes — in some countries is a way to d【小题7】 interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved o【小题8】. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not s【小题9】 permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down w【小题10】 talking to an older person.
