7.Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest and widely loved silent movie stars.From Easy Street(1917)to Modern Times(1936),he made many of the funniest and most popular films of his time.He was best known for his character,the naive and lovable Little Tramp.The Little Tramp,a well meaning man in a raggedy suit with cane,always found himself wobbling into awkward situations and strangely wobbling away.More than any other figure,it is this kind-hearted character that we associate with the time before the talkies (sound films).Born in London in 1889,Chaplin first visited America with a theater company in 1907.Appearing as"Billy"in the play"Sherlock Holmes",the young Chaplin toured the country twice.On his second tour,he met Mack Sennett and was signed to Keystone Studios to act in films.In 1914Chaplin made his first one-reeler,"Making a Living".That same year he made thirty-four more short films,including"Caught in a Cabaret","Caught in the Rain","The Face on the Bar-Room Floor",and"His Trysting Place".These early silent shorts allowed very little time for anything but physical comedy,and Chaplin was a master at it.
Though Chaplin is of the silent movie era,we see his achievements carried through in the films of today.With the appearance of the feature-length (达到正片应有的长度)talkies,the need for more subtle acting became apparent.To maintain the audience's attention throughout a six-reel film,an actor needed to move beyond constant comedy.Chaplin had demanded this depth long before anyone else.His strictness and concern for the processes of acting and directing made his films great and led the way to a new,more sophisticated(精密的、高雅的),cinema.

From the earliest days of our country,we have seen education as the foundation for democracy and citizenship.Yet high school students and families are increasingly questioning its value.Is investing in a college or university education still worth it?The answer is definitely"Yes".
From a financial point of view,a college education surely pays off.Students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not,well over a million dollars over a lifetime.Completing college makes an even greater difference to the earning power of young women.A 25-34 year-old female with a bachelor's degree can expect to make 70% more than if she had only completed her high school diploma.But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure?
College is a passport to different places,different times,and different ways of thinking-from learning new languages to considering the arc of human history to diving deep into the building blocks of matter.It gives students a chance to understand themselves differently,seeing how their lives are both like and unlike those who inhabited other eras and other lands.
College introduces students to people they've never met before.One of the most important ways in which students learn at college is by interacting with people who are different from themselves.I recall one student who was admitted to Harvard but wasn't sure he would fit in at a school in the Northeast.However,one night he found himself debating the characteristics that define a genuine hero with other admitted students from around the world.Not everyone agreed,but the differences were what made the conversation exciting,and he realized how much he could learn at a place full of engaging people with a wide range of viewpoints.
College teaches students the virtue of slowing down.No one denies the value of speed,connectivity and the virtual world in an economy that thrives on all three.But"thinking"is a word that is too often forgotten.College teaches students to slow down,to change information into insight and knowing into understanding.It nurtures critical thinking.The result is that students grow in knowledge and in wisdom for a lifetime.
To conclude,investing in a college or university education is well worth it.College opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics.But more importantly,in college students have acquired a new way of transforming the world,through the power of learning,analyzing,changing to adapt to what they have come to understand.
College helps students dream of more than a salary.
