It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My ______ little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was making a paper plane, while Sam was _______ on a painting.
But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was lost in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to ________ the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (叹息) of satisfaction.
“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a ________ .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.
Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.
It wasn’t until later that evening that I ________ a “mailbox” beside the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t _______ Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低声说), “________he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it _______ my heart. I was touched at how carefully she paid attention to what wrong happened to us. When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a _______day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.
This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the college, but some things about her have ______ changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”

About the year 1900, a small dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry, but his blue eyes were determined(坚定的). He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, 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 Charlie. She was often sick in mind and had to be sent to hospital. So he was sent to a home for children who had no parents. He was cold and poor there and the children were punished for small mistakes.
Thirty years later this same Charlie Chaplin became the king of comedy. Many people must have seen some of his films. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until tears flowed down their eyes. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. It isn’t what he said that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend upon words. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. From his very first appearance they know what to expect from the modest little man with the black moustache(小胡子), wide-open eyes, round black hat and shoes too large for his feet.
Charles Chaplin’s film dream | |
having the dream | hard childhood he was sent to a home for1. children great talent singing and dancing making people 2. |
fighting for his dream | trying to 3. a special image on the screen doing little actions instead of words |
4. his dream | becoming the king of comedy attracting people who speak 5. languages all over the world |
