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

Nowadays， many of us spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. The result is that our brain easily feels tired. We need to give the brain a rest， but how？

David Strayer is a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. He claims that camping may be just what a tech-tired brain needs. His argument finds strong support from Carl and Kate， two experienced campers. Carl， who works for a mobile phone company， says that being outdoors makes him feel relaxed. It also prepares him for the work he must do. “Camping gives us a chance to be in touch with nature and it’s very relaxing. When you return to work on Monday. you’re in a better state of mind. I really like the way I feel on Monday.” Kate is a senior editor. She says camping brings her some peace she couldn’t have otherwise. She even finds herself more creative.

David Strayer explains that camping allows close contact with nature and being in nature calms the brain and helps it to focus. When people go camping， they need to learn about animals and natural environments， they have to deal with the weather， learn to stay dry in the rain or warm in the snow and have to keep the feet in good condition when hiking and walking.

Some might say that taking a long walk in the woods or by the ocean or in a city park is wonderful， too. But camping requires that one spend more time in nature and it can test him in different ways. And it brings more health benefits as well.

4. What is the result of using electronic devices too much according to the text？

A. We will waste time. B. Our brain will feel tired.

C. Our study will be influenced. D. Our brain will be refreshed.

5. Why does the author take Carl and Kate as examples？

A. To show advantages of camping. B. To share a good camping site.

C. To show their interest in camping. D. To share their work experiences.

6. What is the benefit of camping according to the text？

A. It helps learn how to protect the environment. B. It helps us learn more about nature.

C. It teaches us how to get out of danger. D. It teaches us to avoid difficult situations.

7. What is the author’s attitude towards camping？

A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
