　　My school makes students take one religion(宗教)class every year．But religion is really hard, especially with Mr Frank Smith for a teacher．

　　Mr Smith is 55 years old, with grey hair and a moustache(胡子)．He always wears a blue school T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes with long white socks．My friends say he looks like a cat．

　　In his class, we did yoga(瑜珈)and meditation(冥想)(actually most of the children in my class lay on the ground sleeping), tasted some strange tea, had classes outside in the garden, and watched videos and movies about Tibetan Buddhism(藏传佛教), God, and so on．

　　It was fun sometimes．However, the course(课程)was quite hard when it came to tests．The girls often worked until one or two o'clock in the morning on nights before the tests, but they still got bad scores．

　　When our test scores were bad, he would give us some makeup assignments(补考作业)．Once I got a B, which I thought was bad, so I asked Mr Smith for an assignment to bring up my grades．

　　As a matter of fact, his assignments were often worse than the tests．The tests were just a lot of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or short essays(文章)．But his assignments usually included a speech in class．

　　I was not afraid of public speaking, yet it took me three days to collect the information, two days to write the speech, one day to make a PowerPoint and several hours to prepare．I knew my presentation(课堂展示)was good, because I saw Mr Smith's big smile when he listened to me．He gave me an A at last．

　　After finishing the course, I may not remember how hard it was or the meaning of some vocabulary．But through Mr Smith, I learned a lesson that will be with me my whole life．That is：no matter what we do, we need to put our hearts into it, and then our work will pay off．

Charlie Chaplin

　　As a young man, Charlie traveled to America in a small company of actors．He was then invited to join a new company that was making film comedies(喜剧)．Very soon he had made dozens of short films for this company．And it was in his second film that he wore the clothes which made his reputation(声誉)－black hat, tight coat, baggy(松垂的)trousers, huge shoes, moustache and walking stick．

　　By the time he was thirty, Charlie was the greatest, best known and best loved comedian(喜剧演员)in the world．He worked very hard and had few close friends．Perhaps that was why the sad side of the little man began to show more clearly in the films he made．

　　Chaplin's films have attracted a large number of audience in various countries．People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears stream down their faces．He will rush from one accident to the next．He will struggle through snow, slip on ice, fall from windows, and slide off bridges．He will fight men who are twice his size and fall in love with women who hardly notice him at all．He will be bullied(欺侮)and beaten by people stronger and richer than himself．But somehow he will always fight back and make the best of his broken heart．

　　Even people who don't understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent．It isn't what he says that makes us laugh．His comedy doesn't depend upon words or language．It depends upon little actions that mean the same thing to people all over the world．He is master of the art of mime－a kind of world language．

　　Having lived in America for forty years, Chaplin moved to Switzerland．There he died on Christmas Day 1977．He once described himself as a citizen of the world, rather than of any particular country．

　　He once wrote,“You have to believe in yourself．That's the secret of success．Even when I was in the children's home, when I was wandering about the streets trying to find enough to eat to keep alive, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world．”
