Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native land Britain, but even more so

for the world. On the

stage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that were

perhaps more characteristic of

Europeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of the

roles Chaplin played were

in silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty understanding

his films. With sound

movies, Chaplin created a nonsense language that sounded like no known

nationality and was accepted

and appreciated by people all over the world. For most of his lifetime he did

not stay in his mother

country; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for people of

different nationalities.

XV.

Compare the new welfare system with the old one and you would find a

world of difference between

the two. Under the new welfare system, the law encourages welfare clients

to work on their own for a

gradual shift away from welfare, and this is not the case in the past. Welfare

clients now can develop

their talents to make money. In the past, they often cheated to bleed the

system for a few extra dollars.

Now caseworkers will gladly help their clients find appropriate jobs rather than act like detectives to

try to seek out any unreported properties. Today many welfare clients have made a choice to live a life

of complete honesty and they tell the truth to caseworkers and declare any extra income they make.

In cases like this, caseworkers will feel greatly relieved because they don't need to search for any cheating as in the past.

solitude. Literary giants such as William Wordsworth, John Milton and Henry

Thoreau enjoyed living

alone on purpose. Hunters or explorers enjoy themselves as they venture

out to tame the great wild

areas. On the other hand, there are some other people who have to live

alone due to various reasons:

being divorced, widowed or never married. Many of them feel bitter to live

in solitude. They have no

one to talk to and as a result they talk at length to themselves and to their

pets and to the television.

Typically there are two kinds of people who choose to live alone on purpose. The first group of people

is artists. They believe in the inspiration in solitude. One of my friends is a writer. He enjoys the time

when he is alone because he can stay up late to read and, above all, concentrate on his writing without

fear of being interrupted by others. On his wall he posts a quotation from Thoreau: "I never found

the companion that was so companionable as solitude." The second group consists of people who

are disappointed with their marriage or family life. A woman I know has been living alone since her

husband left her five years ago. She is not waiting for his return but she is just disappointed with life.

Sticking to high moral standards is easier said than done. Once, a young

British car sales manager

who had just finished courses on business ethics was sent to sell cars to an

African country. The

negotiations had been going on for months without any real results．He was at his wits' end. Finallyxhe

hit upon a solution．One day he bought a popular novel and slipped a check of #20,000 in the book.

Then he presented it to the minister in charge of transportation. This minister examined its contents，

pretending he didn’t see the check at all．Then he said with a

smile："Young man，I hear London is at

its best in May.”The sales manager, who was quick-witted, replied: "My

company in London will be

most honored to welcome your visit！”A short time later, the deal was

approved in London！
