二、完形填空
Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned twelve, a white gardenia(栀子花) was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not 11 at all. After a while I stopped trying to 12 the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
However, I 13 stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest 14 were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone to whom I had shown special 15 . Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a 16 I had run into.

Charles Chaplin was born in London on 16 April, 1889. His parents were music hall actors. The Chaplin family were very poor, and life was difficult in London. Charlie, as he was called, used to do his mother’s job in the theatre when she was ill.
When he was only 17 years old, Chaplin got his first real job as an actor. What he did was to do silly things to make people laugh in the theatre. Seven years later he went to the USA. And over the next four years, he formed his own way of art. He developed the character (角色) of a homeless gentleman which became very popular.
From the 1920s to the 1950s, Chaplin made his most famous films. The film Modern Times (1936) shows his care about the modern industry workers. Many of his films describe the poor life and hard time of the working people during that period.
Although Charlie Chaplin was British, he lived in the USA until 1953. But he never got US nationality. Then Chaplin, his wife and his five children had to move to Switzerland where he lived until he died. When he was 83 years old, he won his only Oscar for the music he wrote for the film Limelight.

When we compare ourselves with great people, we may feel very ordinary (平凡的) and unimportant. However, we must remember that those great people were extraordinary (卓越的). The world has more than 6 billion people, so it is difficult for all of us to be extraordinary. What can we do We can try to be the best people that we can possibly be.
①I think this means that we need to be honest and hard-working. We also need to be open-minded and kind to other people. Most importantly, we need to be ambitious (有雄心的). We need to always set goals for ourselves and work hard to achieve these goals.
Madam Curie and Thomas Edison were hard-working, kind and ambitious, and they worked hard to achieve their goals. Curie gave her life to “ease (减轻) human suffering”. Edison spent his life as an inventor. He invented a camera that showed movement. Later people used cameras to make modern films.
A famous writer from Ireland once wrote, “We are all in the gutter (社会底层) but some of us are looking at the stars.” ②I often come up with this when I am unable to achieve something. It reminds me that we are all at a lower level and that we all have a higher goal to work towards. It makes me try to be the best person that I can possibly be.
