31、   (一) Not that Charlie’s own life was easy! He was born in a poor family 【1】 1889. His parents were both music hall 【2】 (perform). You may find 【3】 astonishing that Charlie  【4】 (teach) to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially 【5】 the family income was often uncertain. 【6】 (luck), his father died, 【7】 (leave) the family even 【8】 (bad) off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking 【9】 his mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of the 【10】 (popular) child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watching him – his subtle acting made everything entertaining.
