阅读理解。 about the year 1900, a poor boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances
of London theatres. 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
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. Any regular visitor to the cinema, must have seen some of Chaplin's films. People
everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don't understand
