Chaplin arrived at ur Keystne Film Cmpany in early December 1913. We rushed him int a shrt film called Making a Living as fast as we culd. There was truble: Chaplin's music-hall cstume was funny n stage with British cmedians, but n gd n the screen with Chester Cnklin playing a pliceman. Henry Lehrman was the directr, but he wrked Chaplin t fast. Chaplin didn't knw what he was ding. It was shwn n February 2, 1914 t disappinting reviews and bx ffice results. Later we sent it ut under different titles, such as A Busted Jhnny, Trubles, and Ding His Best. N matter what we called it, the film fund little favr with mst mviegers.
“We just gt ur little cmpany in the black,” Charles O. Baumann shuted at me. “Nw with this silly cheap cmedian yu picked ut f nwhere, yu're pushing us int the red.” I stuck up fr my decisin t put Charlie Chaplin in films. “The truble is,” I said, “we haven't gt his character right yet. We haven't gt his timing right, either. Or his make-up and cstume. Give me a little time and I wuldn't be surprised if Charlie Chaplin turns ut t be a fair actr.”
We were learning hw t use a prmising actr. Still, Chaplin was cnsidered a strange man by my team f prfessinals. They cnsidered him cheap. He wasn't cheap. He simply didn't enjy drinking r partying. He preferred his wn cmpany. He ften walked the streets n his wn at night watching things and peple. He lived in a cheap htel and he stayed in it until lng after he became wrth a millin dllars a year.
By the time Chaplin had made fairly shrt films, we knew what a great find we had. He had watched and listened and asked questins, and learned frm Mabel Nrmand. He was still shy and tngue-tied but he thught he was different frm ther cmedians. This was hw Chaplin started t becme Charlie Chaplin.
24. Hw did Making a Living turn ut?
A. It was a failure. B. It sld quite well.
C. It was influential in Britain. D. It shwed Chaplin's great skills.
25. What was the authr's attitude t Chaplin as an actr?
A. Supprtive. B. Surprised. C. Uncaring. D. Wrried.
26. What did the authr say abut Chaplin's persnal life?
A. He used mney unreasnably. B. He had many strange habits.
C. He seldm left his hme. D. He liked being alne.
27. What d we knw abut Chaplin frm the last paragraph?
A. He tried t develp his wn style.
B. He liked t help ther cmedians.
C. He was n his way t becming a great actr.
D. He was facing great difficulties at Keystne.

A new study shws that the husehld cnsumers (家庭消费者) are fcusing mre n reducing their energy csts by using technlgically advanced hme appliances. The lighting cntrl held the largest share in the smart hme market in 2016. The increase in the adptin (采用) rate f intelligent lighting cntrls by husehlds wrldwide has fuelled the grwth f the smart hme market. These have the ability t reduce electricity cnsumptin because they adjust (调节) the artificial light accrding t the surrundings.
Fur years ag, I was in a discussin abut Nest Thermstat (恒温器), sharing my view that if a huse is built prperly, it desn't need a smart thermstat. It prbably wuldn't d much gd there because with careful placement f high-quality windws, yu seldm need t heat r cl it at all. Since then, ther studies have shwn that in a leaky ld huse, smart thermstats can be very effective and save energy.
But is smart lighting saving energy? A smart lighting system might turn ff r adjust the brightness f a bulb (灯泡), but an LED bulb already uses very little electricity, say 7 watts per bulb. But when yu make it smart, it is always cnnected, cnsuming a bit f pwer t talk t the cntrller r bridge; ne guy with a meter tested it at 0.4 watts per hur, r 9.6 watts in a day. It means that if yu have a pile f smart bulbs and devices, yu are cnsuming a fair bit f electricity.
Except fr smart thermstats in leaky huses, nne in the smart market saves energy. Asking Siri, vice cntrl n any f Apple devices, t turn ff the lights is fun, but we wuld be better ff in terms f energy and exercise if we gt up and reached fr a light switch. Rather than saving energy, the smart hme is wasting it.
28. What des the underlined wrd “fuelled” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A. Cntrlled. B. Prmted. C. Predicted. D. Detected.
29. What des the authr think f smart thermstats?
A. They are well-designed. B. They are energy-efficient.
C. They are nt very useful. D. They are nt always autmatic.
30. What des paragraph 3 mainly want t tell us?
A. LED bulbs are very bright. B. LED bulbs are f little value.
C. Smart lighting has develped quickly. D. Smart lighting des little t save electricity.
31. What des the authr advise us t d in the last paragraph?
A. T use Siri fr fun. B. T imprve smart lighting.
C. T give up smart thermstats cmpletely. D. T turn t the traditinal way f turning ff lights.
D
Since I learned that shppers wh d less research are happier with their purchases ( 购买的东西), I've been prud f my “gd enugh” methd f shpping. Unlike my husband, wh des weeks f research, lking at varius chices, and weighing his preferences cmpared t csts, I always buy the first item I cme acrss that fits my needs and price range.
Accrding t Barry Schwartz, authr f the bk The Paradx f Chice, my methd f shpping is called “satisficing,” while my husband engages in ( 参与)“maximizing.” Maximizers want the best and believe that there's a perfect ne f whatever they're lking fr. Satisficers, n the ther hand, fcus n what will be gd enugh t meet their minimum (最低的) standards.
I recently purchased a desk chair. I wanted ne that ffered mre lumbar ( 腰部的) supprt, s I went t a stre and picked ut a chair that felt cmfrtable and was within my price range. I was happy with my purchase fr six mnths, until the day I put just a little weight n the back f the chair, and it brke. Turned ut that the chair's back was made f particle bard and it was just a matter f time befre sme weight brke the bard. Nw I have t buy a new ne. It wuld have been less expensive if I'd researched varius chairs, even if I'd ended up with a pricier chair.
While I am very much a satisficer, there are purchases that bring ut the maximizer in me. One f them is blank ntebks. Recently I spent nearly tw hurs lking thrugh the ntebks at a stre t find the perfect ne fr a creative prject. While I culd use any ntebk t take ntes and draw pictures, the ne I fund fitted the prject I had in mind.
While I'm always glad t be a satisficer, I admit my satisficing ways can smetimes prevent me frm getting the satisfactin f finding exactly what I want. I knw making sure that I raise my standards and get the enjyment f finding the right chice fr me will help me t enjy the best f bth wrlds.
32. What can we learn abut the authr frm paragraph 1?
A. She dislikes shpping at all.
B. She wants every purchase t be perfect.
C. She is prud f every chice she has made.
D. She is a quick decisin-maker when shpping.
33. Why des the authr mentin her experience f buying a desk chair?
A. T suggest that satisficing can save time.
B. T shw that satisficing can ften be silly.
C. T shw that satisficing can be expensive.
D. T prve that satisficing can bring happiness.
34. Hw did the authr feel abut the ntebk she bught?
A. She regretted buying it. B. She felt satisfied with it.
C. She thught it was affrdable. D. She fund it was nt gd enugh.
35. What des the authr learn frm her shpping experiences?
A. It pays t be a patient shpper. B. Shpping can prvide pleasure.
C. Spending wisely saves ne truble. D. One never wastes time n what t buy.
