Charlie
Chaplin
was
a
British
actor,
film
maker
and
composer.
He
became
famous
in
the
1910s,
when
films
were
silent
in
black
and
white.
Charlie
Chaplin
was
one
of
the
best
comedy
actors
of
his
time
because
he
knew
how
to
use
his
body
and
facial
features
to
make
people
laugh.
In
my
opinion,
the
funniest
thing
about
Charlie
Chaplin
was
the
way
he
walked
while
he
was
acting
as
the
Tramp,
who
is
his
most
famous
character.
The
Tramp
is
a
poor
man
with
a
kind
heart
who
has
unexpected
adventures.
These
adventures,
often
involving
the
police,
are
usually
the
funniest
scenes.
My
favorite
Charlie
Chaplin
film
is
Modern
Times
and
my
favorite
scene
is
in
the
factory
where
Charlie
Chaplin
is
working
on
a
production
line.
When
a
bee
starts
circling
around
Charlie’s
face,
he
falls
behind
with
his
work.
It’s
so
funny
to
watch
him
trying
to
keep
up!
I
think
the
power
of
Charlie
Chaplin’s
works
is
not
only
in
his
acting,
but
also
in
the
stories
and
the
characters
he
created.
The
Tramp
is
the
symbol
of
the
silent
cinema
and
even
after
so
many
years
he
is
still
able
to
make
people
laugh.

Tang
Jiezhong,
one
of
China’s
top
cross-talk
artists,
died
in
Beijing
on
18
June
2017.
The
85-year-old
had
worked
with
a
number
of
outstanding
comedians
throughout
his
career,
including
Ma
Ji
and
Jiang
Kun.
Tang
made
a
great
contribution
to
the
Chinese
cross-talk.
In
his
performances,
he
played
many
different
funny
characters
very
vividly.
For
instance,
he
imitated
different
singing
styles
to
make
people
laugh.
My
favourite
Tang
Jiezhong’s
work
is
The
Reverie
in
the
Tiger’s
Den
(《虎口遐想》)
with
Jiang
Kun.
A
twenty-eight
lad
was
trapped
in
the
tiger’s
den
by
mistake,
which
caused
a
series
of
funny
daydreams.
And
many
people
tried
their
best
to
rescue
him.
I
adored
their
performing
style
and
humour.
Tang
dedicated
his
life
to
the
cross-talk
career.
He
performed
many
times
in
a
row
at
the
CCTV
Spring
Festival
Gala.
He
is
really
a
great
cross-talk
performer.

As
I
approach
the
hospital
wearing
my
white
coat,
I
look
just
like
any
other
doctor.
That
is
until
I
put
on
my
curly
rainbow
wig,
big
red
nose,
and
add
my
name
badge
“Doctor
Larry
Laugh-Out-Loud”.
I
walk
through
the
doors
into
the
waiting
area,
where
there’s
a
familiar
atmosphere
of
boredom
and
tension.
Read

This
paragraph
is
mainly
about:
What
a
clown
doctor
wears
and

So
the
answer

“f”.

who
tells
me
that
Lara’s

rushed
her
to
the
hospital
after
she
fell
off
her

Since
getting
here,
Lara
has
spent

clowns

known
as

clowning”.

I
chose
this
career
because
of
my
experience
of
going
to
hospital
when
I
was
a
kid.
Although
the
doctors
and
nurses
did
a
great
job,
hospitals
weren’t
really
designed
for
children.
I
spent
much
of
the
time
when
I
was
there
feeling
frightened
and
more
than
a
little
bored!
This
paragraph
is
mainly
about:
What
is
a
clown
doctor
and
why
the
author
chose
to
be
one.
So
the
answer
is
“b”.
Read
for

Visiting
hospitals
and
other
health
care
facilities,
we
clown
doctors
work
together
with
medical
professionals.
On
a
typical
day,
we
spend
our
time
cheering
up
patients,
their
families,
and
more
often
than
not,
the
hospital
staff,
too!
We
do
this
by
doing
magic
tricks,
singing
songs,
telling
stories
and,
of
course,
telling
silly
jokes.
Read
for
general
idea.

Some
children,
though,
don’t
feel
like
laughing,
especially
if
they’re
in
pain.
We
have
to
be
very
sensitive
and
work
closely
with
the
doctors
and
nurses,
who
keep
us
updated
on
each
patient.
This
paragraph
is
mainly
about:
What
the
clown
doctor’s
responsibilities
are.
So
the
answer
is
“d”.
Read
for
general
idea.
5
And
my
magic
medicine
does
indeed
seem
to
do
the
trick.
While
the
doctor
concentrates
on
examining
Lara’s
ankle,
I
get
her
attention
by
doing
a
magic
trick.
Although
she
is
clearly
still
in
some
pain,
her
scared
and
anxious
look
has
been
replaced—first
by
a
small
smile,
and
then
by
loud
laughter
as
I
“magically”
produce
her
sock
from
out
of
my
pocket.
Seeing
their
daughter
so
much
happier
has
in
turn
made
Lara’s
parents
more
relaxed.
Read
for
general
idea.
This
paragraph
is
mainly
about:
How
a
clown
doctor
helps
the
patient
and
their
family.
So
the
answer
is
“e”.

general

And
as
for
me?
Well,
when
I
take
off
my
wig
and
my
red
nose,
I’m
still
wearing
a
big
smile,
as
I
remember
all
the
fun
and
laughter
of
the
day.
While
there
might
be
more
hospital
visits
ahead
for
Lara
and
others,
I
hope
that
clown
doctors
help
make
it
a
friendlier
place
to
visit.
After
all,
it
really
is
true
that
“laughter
is
the
best
medicine”.
This
paragraph
is
mainly
about:
How
the
author
feels
and
what
he

How

They
cheer

the
hospital

to
make

So
their

laughter

Task

Discuss
which
of
the
practical
jokes
is
the
funniest
and
give
reasons.
Sample
Student
A：The
jokes
are
really
funny.
I
think
the
lion
one
is
the
funniest
for
it
worked
for
more
than
two
centuries.
Which
one
do
you
think
is
the
funniest?
Student
B:
Yes,
the
lion
one
is
funny,
but
the
funniest
one
I
think
is
the
smellovision
one.
It
reminds
of
the
Emperor’s
New
Clothes;
how
could
people
smell
something
out
of
a
screen!
And
some
even
said
their
eyes
watered
by
the
onion,
wasn’t
it
ridiculous!
Sample
Student
A:
Yeah,
funny
enough.
I
am
wondering
if
people
would
be
annoyed
when
they
knew
they
were
fooled.
Student
B:
I
guess
not.
Because
that’s
on
April
Fool’s
Day，the
jokes
meant
no
harm
and
were
out
of
amusing
intention.
Actually,
a
lot
of
people
laughed
as
they
knew
they
were
taken
in.

Karen:
Hi,
I
am
Karen
and
this
is
“Fun
time”.
I’m
joined
today
by
Mark
Collin.
Hi,
Mark.
Mark:
Hello!
Karen:
As
you
know,
today
is
the
1st
of
April,
or
as
we
call
it,
April
Fool’s
Day
and
Mark’s
here
to
tell
us
about
three
of
the
best
practical
jokes
in
history.
Listen
for
speaking.
Mark:
Indeed.
Let’s
start
with
the
oldest
recorded
April
Fool’s
joke,
which
took
place
on
the
1st
of
April,
1698.
Some
people
were
told
to
go
to
the
Tower
of
London
to
watch
“the
washing
of
the
lions”.
Listen
for
speaking.
Of
course,
there
were
no
lions
at
the
Tower
of
London.
This
was
reported
in
a
newsletter—similar
to
today’s
newspapers—on
the
second
of
April
that
year.
Apparently,
this
practical
joke
worked
so
well
that
it
was
played
on
visitors
throughout
the
18th
and
19th
centuries.
Listen
for
speaking.
Karen:
Well,
I’d
be
pretty
annoyed
if
someone
did
that
to
me.
OK,
let’s
hear
the
next
one.
Mark:
OK.
This
is
a
practical
joke
from
1965.
The
BBC
News
Channel
invited
a
university
professor
to
talk
about
his
invention
called
“Smellovision”.
Karen:
Smell
-o-
what?
Listen
for
speaking.
Mark:
Smellovision!
This
was
a
type
of
machine
that
allowed
smells
to
be
carried
over
the
airwaves.
During
the
interview,
the
BBC
showed
images
of
people
actually
smelling
a
TV
screen!
Karen:
But
I
don’t
get
it…
How
on
earth
did
people
actually
believe
that
there
was
such
a
thing
as
“Smellovision”?
Listen
for
speaking.
Mark:
The
professor
did
a
demonstration.
He
placed
coffee
beans
and
onions
inside
the
Smellovision
and
asked
people
watching
the
program
at
home
to
phone
him
if
they
could
smell
anything.
And
people
did!
Some
really
believed
they
could
smell
coffee
beans
and
onions.
Some
even
said
that
the
onions
make
their
eyes
water!
Listen
for
speaking.
Karen:
I
see...
I
guess
you
can
convince
yourself
of
anything
if
you
really
want
to.
Mark:
Indeed!
Now,
my
favorite
one.
The
“spaghetti
tree”
joke.
Karen:
Oh,
I
know
it!
It’s
a
good
one!
Listen
for
speaking.
Mark:
It’s
another
BBC
joke
and
probably
the
most
famous
one.
On
the
1st
of
April,
1957,
a
news
program
told
viewers
that
the
spaghetti
trees
in
Switzerland
were
having
a
really
good
harvest.
The
program
even
showed
people
picking
spaghetti
off
trees
and
laying
it
in
the
sun
to
dry.
Listen
for
speaking.
Karen:
That’s
so
funny!
Mark:
Many
people
fell
for
the
joke
because
spaghetti
wasn’t
that
common
in
England
at
the
time.
Karen:
I
can
imagine!
