六、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（有两项为多余项）
Most of the silent films were made in the 1920s. They are very different from modern films. In fact, it would be very hard for us to watch silent films now. They are in black and white and are often not very clear. However, these are not the biggest problems for us. (1) It would be hard for us to understand the story and the silent dialogue between the characters. (2)
The acting in silent films is very different from the acting in films with sound. (3) For example, a person who was surprised in a silent film would open his or her mouth and eyes very wide and hold one hand up to their face.
Silent films were usually very short because it was difficult to tell a long story with no speech. (4) One of the most famous actors of silent films, Charlie Chaplin, said, “All I need to make a film is a park and a policeman.” He knew how to save money!
The actors usually tried very hard to show the story. Of course, because the films were silent, there were no jokes or clever language used. Instead, they used body performance. (5) In a very famous film, a whole house even fell down around an actor called Buster Keaton without hitting him.
A. The biggest problem is that they are silent.
B. And also, the films were very expensive to make.
C. Among silent films, comedies were really popular.
D. We are so used to hearing sounds and speech in films.
E. For example, some characters fell over a lot and had silly fights.
F. It was also very hard for companies to make silent films at that time.
G. The actors in silent films used a lot of body language and facial expressions.
