问题     About the year 1900, a small, dark-haired boy named Charles Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry but his blue eyes were determined. He was hoping to get work in show business for he could sing and dance. His parents were music hall artists and he had been born into the life of the stage. And, although his own boyhood was painfully hard, 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 Charles and his elder half-brother, Sid, because she was often sick in mind and had to be sent into hospital. Even when she was home with them she seemed to live in a different world. Her illness made the boys very sad.
    As young men, he and his brother travelled to America in a small company of actors and acted in various cities. One day Charles was invited to join a new company that was making film comedies (喜剧). He accepted the offer and soon became popular.
    By the time he was thirty, Chaplin was the greatest, best known, and best loved comedian in the world. He had formed his own films making company and was writing and producing his own films. He was welcomed by excited crowds who surrounded him wherever he went. But he worked very hard and had few close friends. [br] Chaplin hoped ______ even in his childhood.
选项 A、to sing and dance
B、to travel to America
C、to produce film
D、to be an actor
答案 D
解析 文中说“He was hoping to get work in show business.”可见，卓别林小时候就渴望在演艺界谋求工作。当一句演员就是其中之一。故选D。A和B明显不符。C不符儿童时的卓别林的心态，文中没有说他有如此愿望。
