A
It was several years since Adolf Hitler came into power in Germany. And now his army was marching into some parts of Europe. He must be in the prime of his career.
One day, Hitler went to an exhibition where the works of school children were on show. He seemed to have great interest in the exhibits — inventions as well as carvings, drawings. After having walked around the hall and examined every one, he said he was ready to meet the_young_artists. And soon a group of children came into the room to salute (敬礼) him.
“Well, well. You did very good work，” nodded Hitler in satisfaction. “I promise on my honour I'd satisfy you with whatever you want. What'd you wish to be if I were your father？”
“A sailor sailing on the sea，” one of the boys answered.
“Good. I'll have you join my navy (海军) and some day you will rule the oceans.”
“Ask for anything? What'd you wish to be if I were your father？” he asked a second boy.
“A painter as great as Rembrandt.”
“Good. You are to be sent to the Fine Art School and surely you will be an even greater painter.”
When Hitler caught sight of a sad­looking boy, he frowned (皱眉), and then quickly forced a smile, “There my boy, in spite of my point of view towards the Jews, I'd do you a favor, and your dream will come true. What'd you wish to be if I were your father？”
The boy looked straight at the man.
“An orphan (孤儿)，” he murmured.

About the year 1900, a small, dark－haired hot boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London Theatre. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance; above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn't get work and so he wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest, best­known, and best­loved comedian in the world. Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin's filmstrips (胶片). People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films though most of them are silent. It isn't what he says that makes people laugh. His comedy doesn't depend upon words and languages. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words，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 Day, 1977, at the age of eighty­eight. The world was astonished at the news of the death and burst into sadness.
