In 1932, my father had to declare bankruptcy (破产). He was ashamed of it, but it came about because of his  1heart.

He had been in the milk business and every day he  2milk to many homes. His route（线路）included many people  3worked at the local steel company. Dad  4delivering milk even when his customers were unable to  5him.

After the bankruptcy, he started selling hamburgers from a  6building he and his brothers had built. That was the  7of the Poplar Inn, named  8the row of poplar trees（杨树）nearby. My mother was a good cook, and soon many dishes were  9to the menu. Later, another two buildings were built and the Poplar Inn   10much larger.

On Saturdays, Mother would spend the whole day in the kitchen  11for parties. During dinner, my sister Phyllis and I helped  12customers. Phyllis would dance, and I would sing the latest songs. Square dances were  13then and many adults would dance. As the evening went  14, and children became bored with watching their parents  15, they were often taken to our bedrooms.

Since Dad had a big heart, it was not  16for him to help others without asking for payment. Every time my father made a loan (借出的贷款), he  17out a card, but he never tried to  18those debts. Finally, he destroyed the cards — therefore there were no  19at all.

   At first all films were in black and white, but in 1932 the first color film was made. This proved as unpopular as talking films had done in the late 1920’s. It was not until 1938 that a full-length color film was made, and the success of this film made producers everywhere change from black and white to color. This first full-length color film was translated into ten different languages and made Hollywood the main center of film industry

   In the early days of the cinema, other countries also had film industries. Very good films were made in Sweden, Britain, Russia and France. However, because Hollywood had so much money to spend, it kept its position as the world’s most important film center. Film actors went to America because they knew they could get a lot of money for every film they made. In 1918 Charlie Chaplin received $5 each day.

Charlie studied Chemistry in a famous college for four years. He studied hard and did well in all his subjects. He hoped to become a good teacher. This year he left the college and began to work in a middle school. He likes his students and wants them to get good marks so he does his best to make his classes lively and interesting.

  One day he carefully explained a chemical reaction(反应)to the students of Grade 2 in the chemistry lab.

“Be careful. Everyone,” he said loudly. “Before I make the experiment, there’re twenty five atoms of carbon（碳原子), but after I finish it, there’re twenty four atoms of carbon left!”

He stopped to watch the classroom and hoped his students would go on explaining it. But the young men looked at each other and nobody answered him. He had to ask, “What happens? What makes the atom disappear?”

The classroom was very quiet and none of the students looked at their teacher.

“Who can tell us where it has gone?”

Suddenly a soft voice came from the back row, “We did not see anybody leave the lab!”
