It was 18：15. Rob waited outside the cinema impatiently. His friend, Steve, was supposed to meet him in five minutes.

Both of them really liked movies and tried to see one almost every week, but lately Steve had been arriving later and later. If he didn't arrive soon, they wouldn't have time to get popcorn and drinks before the movie started. They might even miss the previews（预告）！Rob grumbled（发牢骚）while he waited.

He watched cars arriving at the parking lot, trying to find Steve's blue car. However, watching cars made him more irritated（恼怒的）.He was almost sure Steve would be late.

Rob checked his watch one more time. There was only one minute left…Then he heard a voice. "Rob, I made it!”

Rob turned around and saw his friend Steve. He looked at his watch again. Steve was on time.

"Well, let's go then,”Rob suggested. He reached for his wallet then, so he could buy a ticket. Where was his wallet? He looked around worriedly.

"What's wrong?" Steve asked.

"I don't have my wallet.”

"Go and check in your car.”

Rob ran across the parking lot. By the time he got his wallet from his car and bought a ticket, he'd already missed the previews and he didn't have time to get popcorn or a drink. Steve shared his popcorn, but Rob could hardly eat it.

When the movie was over, Rob said to Steve, "I'm sorry, Steve. I was grumbling about you being late, but then I was the one who was late.”

"Don' t worry. It happens to all of us.”

"I see now. Thanks for understanding.”

"That's what friends are for,”Steve said.

About the year 1900, a small dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry, but his blue eyes were determined(坚定的). He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh.

His own father had died from drinking too much. And his mother wasn’t really able to look after Charlie. She was often sick in mind and had to be sent to hospital. So he was sent to a home for children who had no parents. He was cold and poor there and the children were punished for small mistakes.

Thirty years later this same Charlie Chaplin became the king of comedy. Many people must have seen some of his films. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until tears flowed down their eyes. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. It isn’t what he said that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend upon words. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. From his very first appearance they know what to expect from the modest little man with the black moustache(小胡子), wide-open eyes, round black hat and shoes too large for his feet.
