He spent his early childhood with his mother, the singer Hannah Hall, after she and his father separated, and took the place of his mentally unstable mother to appear on the stage. However, he and his mother soon separated from each other because the sick Hall was sent to a hospital. Then, Charlie was sent to a series of boarding schools.Using his mother's show-business contacts Charlie became a professional entertainer in 1897 when hejoined the Eight Lancashire Lads, a dancing act. His following stage characters include a small role in William Gillette Sherlock Holmes (1899). While touring America with the Karno company in 1913, Chaplin was signed to appear in Mack Sennett's Keystone comedy films. Though Making a Living (1914) was not the failure that historians have claimed , Chaplin's first screen character did not show him to best advantage. To come up with a more-workable screen image, Chaplin created an outfit consisting of a too-small coat, too-large pants and a walking stick. As a finishing touch, he put on a mustache(胡子).It was in his second Keystone film, Kid AutoRaces at Venice （1914）, that Chaplin's classic screen character, "the Little Tramp（流浪汉广，was born.In truth, Chaplin did not always portray a tramp; in many of his films his character was employed as a waiter, store clerk? stagehand, fireman, and the like. But the Tramp's attraction was universal： audiences loved his cheekiness（厚脸皮），unexpected bravery and especially his recovery in the face of difficulties which moved the audience most. Some historians have traced the Tramp's origins to Chaplin's Dickensian childhood, while othershave suggested that the character had its roots in the motto （座右铭）of Chaplin's teacher, Fred Karno： ”Keep it eager, gentlemen, keep it eager. " Whatever the case, within months after his movie was on, Chaplin was the screen's biggest star.4. Which word best describes Chaplin's early life?C. Simple.D. Boring.B. His performances in another country.D. His father disapproval of their meeting.A. Carefree.B. Struggling.5. What made Chaplin separate from his mother?A. His further study in an art school.C. His mother's serious health problem.6. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Chaplin?A. His early performances.B. His main characters.C. The reason for his success.D. His relationship with others.7. Which aspect of the Tramp moved the audience most?A. His action with a walking stick.C. His special learning experience.8. His unique and serious appearance, D. His ability to recover from difficulties.CYoung adults often have a lot to learn in school. However, occasionally, the life skills needed for them to become successful outside of school aren9t learned. This may be why the years after high school can sometimes be the most uneasy and tense times for young adults.Some may say that life skills are to be taught by their household rather than school, but that's not exactly true. Some students don't have a parent figure to teach them the necessary moral lessons needed and habitually rely on school to propound them with this essential knowledge. This is why courses of life skills should be set up in schools.Over the course of history, students generally go to an educational institution of some sort to find themselves spending their entire time learning math and science, instead of what is required for real world-communication, which is through behaviors and manners. Manners are important when having a conversation with family, friends, teachers perhaps or even employers. Schools should find a way to teach manners as a way for students to have respect and be open-minded when it comes to other individuals.In addition, the handling of finances is one of the major life skills for students. For people, especially young people, to survive in today5s financial environment, knowledge of personal finance is a necessity. For example, schools educating students about building credit scores and keeping up with a credit card is helpful. However, Educational Institutions does not spend a good amount of time talking about the topic of money managing ： paying taxes, mortgage, bills, insurance, etc. It is time to extend financial knowledge by making personal finance a required course at US colleges and universities.With the essential instructions of communication and financial management provided to the young adults, they will be more successful in their future life.8. What does the underlined word “propoimcT in paragraph 2 mean?A. Bother.B. Charge.C. Provide.D. Treat.9. What does the author advise schools to teach students?A. Skills of making money.B. The communication ability.C. The history of their country.D. Ways to study maths and science.10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. It is easy to survive in today9s financial environment.B. Most of the students don't need to build credit scores.C. Students are lacking in instructions of financial management.D. Educational Institutions spend much time on money managing. 11. What is the best title for the text?A. What Have Students Learned in School?B. Why Should Life Skills Be Taught in School?C. How Can Students Behave Well in Daily Life?D. Why Should Parents Teach Kids Moral Lessons?DIt can be hard to convince homeowners to use less water on their lawns （草坪），particularly during a hot and dry summer. But tell them it's a competition fbr the ugliest lawn, and suddenly they may be more willing to give up using the sprinkler（洒水器）.This clever strategy was employed by the government of Gotland, Sweden's largest island located in the Baltic Sea. Gotland sees its population double during the summer months as tourists arrive. This puts pressure on the island's already-limited water supply, which is projected to decrease by 13% between 2021 and 2050, asdemand is expected to rise by 40% by 2045.The campaign, called “Gotland's Ugliest Lawn”, urged homeowners to compete fbr the saddest, deadest and brownest yard. They were asked to avoid watering for an entire season, then post a photo of the lawn using a label that linked it to the campaign.Mimmi Gibson, the acting marketing and brand manager at Region Gotland, said that "the ugliest lawn contest would remind the islanders not to waste water, and to talk about ways they can adapt their gardens t
