Charlie Chaplin is irresistible (无法抵御) because he is one of the first and most enduring (持久的) movie
stars, because he quickly gained creative and financial control (创作权和财政权) of his movies, because he
invented such a fascinating (引人入胜的) series of comic (喜剧的) films, because he experienced such a
stormy personal life, and because his 40-year filmmaking career in the United States was such a rollercoaster
ride of boom and bust.
Every few weeks outside the movie theater in virtually any American town in the late 1910s,stood the life-
size card board figure of small tramp-outfitted in tattered (破旧的), baggy (肥大的) pants, a cutaway coat
and vest(背心), impossibly large, worn-out shoes, and a battered derby (扁顶) hat-bearing the inscription (印
象) "I am here today." An advertisement for a Charlie Chaplin film was a promise of happiness, of that precious,
almost shocking moment when art delivers what life cannot.
In a 1995 worldwide survey (调查) of film critics, Chaplin was voted the greatest actor in movie history.
He was the first, and to date the last, person to control every aspect of the filmmaking process-founding his
own studio, United Artists, with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and D.W. Griffith, and producing, casting
(演员挑选人), directing, writing, and editing the movies he starred in.
In the first decade of the twentieth century, when weekly movie going was a national habit, Chaplin more
or less invented global recognizability (世人的赞扬) and helped turn an industry into an art. In 1916, his third
year in films, his salary of $10 000 a week made him the highest paid actor-possibly the highest paid person-in
the world.
By 1920, "Chaplinitis" accompanied (伴随) by a flood of Chaplin dances, songs, dolls, comic books and
cocktails, was rampant. Filmmakers Mack Sennett thought him "just the greatest artist who ever lived". Other
early admirers included George Bernard Shaw, Marcel Proust, and Sigmund Freud. In 1923 Hart Crane, who
wrote a poem about Chaplin, said his pantomime"represents the futile gesture (无用的) of the poet today".
Later in the 1950s, Chaplin was one of the icons of the Beat Generation. From 1981 to 1987, IBM used the
Tramp as the logo to advertise its venture (冒险精神) into personal computers.
He has been called the single most influential artist in the history of motion pictures; certainly no other
movie star enjoyed the international, iconographic (象征性的) status (地位) he attained early in the silent era
and maintained (保持) well past the coming of sound. And certainly no other creative talent did as much as he
to elevate (提高) screen comedy to a high art.
of motion pictures?

a young man held prisoner by Hamas for five years,spread.
But the happiness was hardened by the reality of the price Israelis had paid to set him free. The 1,027 Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged for the single Israeli corporal turned out to include men and women
convicted (宣判有罪) of some of the worst terrorist attacks in the country.
"Ambivalent," says Aya Ilouz, of her feelings on the matter. Strolling in downtown Jerusalem with her
husband Liron and their 5-month-old daughter Yael, the couple is so in sync on the question of the day
that they finish each other's thoughts.
"Yes," says Liron, "we are very happy and excited to see Gilad meet his family. And on the other
hand-"
"We are very concerned," says Aya.
"About what happens next," Liron explains. "When the next terrorist blows himself up, someone will
have to answer."
Just around the corner, on King George Street, Alan Bauer had been walking home with his son on
March 21, 2002, when a Palestinian man named Mohammad Hashaika exploded a suicide vest packed
with metal scraps. Eighty-four people were wounded that day. Of the three killed, one was a woman
pregnant with twins.
Though the bomber of course died, Israeli courts convicted the two women who drove him to the site
of the bombing, easing his way past the Israeli checkpoint by buying flowers to carry in the Mother's Day
crowd.
"These women, as I speak, are being released," Bauer says.
Specifics have a way of weakening the joy of Shalit's release. Among the 477 prisoners released on
Tuesday, in the first phase of the exchange, are an organizer of the 2002 Passover bombing that killed 30
people; a woman who developed an online relationship with a lovesick Israeli youth she then had
murdered when he came to meet her; and the man who proudly displayed his bloody hands to the mob
(暴民) gathered outside the Ramallah building where two Israeli soldiers were beaten to death after
making a wrong turn onOct. 12, 2000.
When the list became public, relatives of terrorism victims appealed, without success, to Israel's
supreme court to prevent the prisoner exchange. The court hearing was interrupted repeatedly by upset
survivors, including Shvuel Schijveschuurder, who lost five of his family members in a 2001 attack at a
Jerusalem Sbarro. To protest the release of the woman who drove the suicide bomber to the pizza
restaurant, Schijveschuurder poured paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin, the Prime Minister slain by an
Israeli extremist for signing the Oslo Accords.
"When we say 1,027 prisoners will be released, it's abstract, it doesn't mean anything," says Eliad
Moreh Rosenberg, who was wounded in the 2002 terrorism bombing at the Hebrew University cafeteria. "But for victims of terror, it's a reality."
Israeli officials calculate that 60% of those released resume terrorism attacks. To help prevent that
resumption this time around, Israel insisted that most of the prisoners liberated be sent either to the Gaza
Strip - which is sealed off from Israel and under the control of Hamas, which says it continues to observe
a cease-fire - or into exile (流放) in Turkey, Qatar or Syria. About 100 arrived in the West Bank, where
the government led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas works diligently to suppress
terrorism, cooperating with Israeli intelligence and military.
With the future uncertain, on Tuesday, Jewish Israelis stopped and stared at televisions wherever they
came upon them. On the sidewalk at midmorning outside the 24-hour Hillel Market, 50 people were
gathered under a flat screen to catch the first images of Shalit, looking painfully thin . "It was moving. It
was very exciting," says Anat Rubin, 42. "I just saw photos of him getting out of the car. It gave me
chills." But she says she heard Hamas say that, learning from success, it was keen to kidnap more Israelis
in order to win freedom for the 6,000 Palestinians still in Israeli prisons. "I don't want to see the photos of
them doing the V for victory," she says. "Like they won. They are really releasing murderers. I'm happy
and sad all together."
B. moved
C. contradicted
D. terrified
B. Because they are concerned about the health of Shalit.
C. Because they are worried more terrorist blows are coming.
D. Because they want to know when and where the prisoners will be set free.
B. Among the released prisoners, Shvuel Schijveschuurder was caught because he poured
paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin.
