It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Chaplin produced the film The Kid，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent (made without any sound，not even the characters talking).The story is about the relationship between “the Tramp”，played by Chaplin，and his adopted(领养的) child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of The Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co star (联袂主演者).Chaplin later wrote，“All children in some form have talents; the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.”
Like the kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to look after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based on (基于) the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children.“Perhaps that's why the film had some truth，” he said.
6.________ is Chaplin's greatest work.
A. The Kid
B. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
C. The Old Man and the Sea
D. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
7.The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. why The Kid was made
B. when The Kid was on
C. how The Kid got successful
D. what The Kid is about
8.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that Jackie Coogan ________.
A. always visited the theatre alone
B. was possibly talented in acting
C. knew much about Chaplin before
D. played every role in Chaplin's films
9.Which of the following is TRUE about Chaplin
A. He had a poor childhood experience.
B. He was brought up by his father.
C.He looked after his mother very well.
D.He produced films with his brother.
10.What's the best title for the passage

Fifteen years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One day I went to pick up a passenger at 2: 40 am. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute, ” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a while, the door opened. A small woman stood before me. She was more than eighty years old. By her side was a big bag. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ”
“It's not the shortest way, ” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I'm in no hurry, ” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I am not long for this world. ”
I listened quietly and shut off the meter(计程表).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the place where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I pay you ” she asked.
“Nothing, ” I said.
“You have to make a living, ” she answered.
“Oh, there are other passengers, ” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. She held on to me and said, “You gave an old woman a perfect gift. ”

My Gift for Mom
It’s nice to get gifts from others when the special day is coming. Last year, on Mother’s Day, I bought Mom a pair of gloves. My mom was very happy when she saw the gift.
The gloves were gray and thick. Mom didn’t like bright colors, so I chose the gray color. Mom’s hands would become colder as the weather got colder. In order to keep her hands warm, I sent her the gloves. With the gift, I want to tell her that I am thankful for her good care and that I will remember that forever.
When I grow up, I will try my best to make her happier. Because of my gift, my mom gets the happiness not only in the simple gift but for my kind heart.
