When Mackenzie Foy got the call from film director Lasse Halls telling her that she’d landed the role of Clara in the Disney film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, she said “yes” immediately. “I was just excited to go on a new adventure,” Foy told The Evening Standard. Indeed, when many actors and actresses choose to appear in films simply for the fame and exposure (曝光), Foy does it for the “adventure”.

It’s true that every movie Foy has ever been in is an adventure. In The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn for example, the 11-year-old Foy plays a half-human-half-vampire (吸血鬼) girl who has a superpower. In Interstellar, then 14, she plays the daughter of a scientist who travels across the universe to try to find ways to save human beings from destruction. And, in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Clara went on yet another exciting journey. This time, she allows a doll that her parents give her as a Christmas gift into a strange world.

Foy likes excitement in real life, too. In fact, she has a first-degree black belt in tae kwon do. “I am dying to do an action movie,” she told Vanity Fair. “I can do my own stunts.” And not happy with simply being in front of the camera, Foy dreams of trying something new one day. “I want to be a director in the future,” she told The Evening Standard. “I want to make films that will make people end up looking at the world in a different way, so that they will feel inspired and learn something new.”

1. Why did Foy accept the role of Clara immediately?

A. To gain more fame. B. To earn more money.

C. To experience the adventure. D. To improve her performance.

2. What kind of movie would Foy like to play in next time?

A. An action movie. B. A documentary. C. A love story. D. A thriller.

3. What does the underlined word “stunts” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Different performances. B. Special expressions.

C. Popular languages. D. Unique skills.

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A. A Future Director B. A Young Adventurer

C. A Productive Actress D. An Energetic Youth
