It isn't what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy()doesn't depend upon words or language, but on the little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. In his films, Chaplin raises his thick black eyebrow().He straightens his coat or swings his walking stick in the air. He hides behind a fat lady or climbs under a table to escape from his enemies. Trying to be brave, he faints away on the floor. He pretends to be what he is not and never could be a rich, successful, important man. It is the secret for Chaplin's huge success.

He and his family were living at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied during his vice presidency. Coolidge awoke to see a burglar search his clothes. Finally he got a wallet and a watch. When he was removing the watch chain, Coolidge spoke:" I wish you couldn't take that." The thief, at his voice, said: "why?" I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm. Take it near the window and read what is engraved()on the back of it," the President said. The burglar read: "Presented to Calvin Coolidge, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court. "Are you President Coolidge?" he asked. The President answered, "Yes, and the Legislature gave me that watch charm...I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You www.gzzkgk.cn want money. Let's talk this over."

China will also encourage students to return to the motherland to participate in its modernization effort, she said, and if they want to go abroad again the country will give them the green light. On June 23,1978, the late Deng Xiaoping, then Chinese Vice-premier, decided that more people should study abroad, and the policy started a 20-year study-abroad fever. QQ:1163816823 :gzzkgk 83 www.gzzkgk.cn 020-8828266715374053589 In Chinese cities, it is difficult to find a young person who has not heard of TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language)or GRE(Graduate Record Examination),the primary tests required to attend graduate school in the United States. China sent its first group of students to study in the United States and Europe back in 1872. That ended during World War II. During the 1950's ,the major destination for students was the former Soviet Union. Many current Chinese leaders were students in Soviet colleges. But the "cultural revolution(1966-1976)"dealt a blow to the enthusiasm. Any contacts with foreigners were strictly banned() "To some extent, the difficulty of a shortage of talented people has been eased," she said, "thanks to the study-abroad policy which has in turn promoted China's opening-up to the rest of the world."Wei went on to say that during the past two decades, about 300,000Chinese have gone to study in more than 100countries. By the end of 1997, a total of 163,000 Chinese had studies in the United States, accounting for 56percent of the students who went overseas to study. "Facts have proved that Deng's decision was correct."Wei said. www.gzzkgk.cn Another official said that more and more students have returned to China after completing their studies abroad.

Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to change greatly the art and science of surgery. The tool is a laser() and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know, light is hot ,any source of light----from the sun itself down to a simple match burning----will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam(), however, is concentrated(). This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized() beam. 84 QQ:1163816823 :gzzkgk www.gzzkgk.cn 020-8828266715374053589 Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball. No knives, no stitches(), no unwanted damage----a true surgical wonder. Operations which once made patients tired and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling calm and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tried. The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.

50. The rapid development of laser techniques indicates that.
