【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格，每空一詞。

About the year 1900, Charlie Chaplin (卓別林) was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theaters. He looked neither tall nor short. He was hoping to get work in show business. Luckily, he soon got a chance to act and it was also his first performance on the stage.

But twenty years later, this same Chaplin became the greatest, best-known comedian (喜劇演員) in the world. Any regular visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Charlie Chaplin’s films. People everywhere have laughed at them until tears have run down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they mostly have no sound. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. It is based on little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world.

Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day in 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
