When Mackenzie Foy got the call from film director Lasse Halls telling her that she'd landed the role of Clara in the new 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, Foy, a 17-year-old US actress, 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, plays the daughter of a scientist who travels across the universe to try to find ways to save human beings from destruction. And now, in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, which will be released in Chinese cinemas on November 2, Clara is going 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 (MY y ilÏ). "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 once I finish high school," 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.
For many people, the Transformers movies are the greatest Hollywood blockbusters (大片). And among the Transformers themselves, the yellow Autobot named Bumblebee is certainly the favorite. He may be one of the smallest and weakest of the alien machines, but he is always loyal to his friends and shows great bravery in battle.
In the new film, Bumblebee is found in a junkyard (废车场)and is full of honeybees. He always finds himself in awkward (尴尬的)situations, but people like his cute and naive looks. In addition to his blue eyes, Bumblebee's body language and movements are adorable. At one point , he sits with his legs straight out, with his huge feet making him look like a 5-year-old trying on his dad's shoes.
Bumblebee is the Transformer who has the greatest affinity (亲和力) with humans. He starts journey with Watson, who is at a loss about her future and wants a friend. As a result of their adventure together, Watson grows up and starts to work toward her life goal of becoming a musician. As for Bumblebee, as we know, is a robot from outer space, he now has a better understanding of his task to protect the Earth. Every adventure has a beginning, as the movie poster puts it.
More importantly, "Every adventure needs a good partner. The considerate, positive and warm Bumblebee is definitely a good choice." according to a US actress Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Watson in the film.
A thrilling polar competition between two adventurers to cross Antarctica alone, unsupported and unassisted had a happy ending with both explorers achieving the unprecedented feat (功绩). American professional athlete Colin O'Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to become the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.
Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O'Brady caught up with Rudd on November 10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O'Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33-year-old spent 54 days skiing the world's coldest continent while pulling a 300-pound sled(雪橇) with supplies.
Instead of leaving the harsh environment after completing the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world's largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to complete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O'Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, becoming the world's second person to complete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.
Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a "race". Besides, the 49-year-old British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, "I didn't want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I completed it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the flag with Henry's name on it."
After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.

As a child, I was very shy. I wanted to be successful, but lacked confidence. When I discovered 1, I found something I was good at. I began to be 2 by my friends and this gave me the desire to climb harder and higher mountains. I discovered that nothing was impossible if I could find the 3 to try.
Both individual determination and teamwork are 4 to success when climbing. You need to rely on the 5 of your team and share in the achievement. But personal focus and determination to keep 6 despite any difficulty is an important 7 to team success.
My greatest achievement in climbing is being the first ever to 8 the 5, 000-foot Troll Wall in Norway, whose rock face is the 9 and most vertical(垂直) in Europe. A stone which drops from the summit will touch nothing until it 10 on the valley floor one mile below.
11 our climb, the experts in Europe had said it was impossible to climb the Troll Wall. But with three companions, I decided to try. It took ten days to make the climb and we slept on ledges(岩石架) no more than a foot wide. But I 12.
Afterwards, I said to myself, “If I can do that, I can do anything.” Some years 13, I succeeded in climbing Mount Everest—the highest mountain in the world.
14 to me is not hanging on a rope on the side of a mountain, but is just one field where adventurous people can constantly 15 themselves. If we look at every day as an adventure, we can challenge ourselves and continue to grow throughout our life. That is the final adventure.
Which would you rather be, a mathematician or author? Perhaps you will never be (face) with this kind of choice. Lewis Carroll was a mathematician and author. He was a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University. But he is (good) known as the writer of two of the most famous children's books have ever been written (Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass). The author's real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, but he (prefer) to use the pen name “Lewis Carroll” when he wrote, and this is the name we remember him by. Alice in Wonderland, (publish) in 1865 when the author was 33 years old, was followed by Through the Looking Glass in 1871. Both (book) were written for a real girl called Alice and they (read) by millions of children since they were first published. These stories are about a dream world in which Alice meets strange creatures and has (interest) adventures. I'm sure you know this already, if you don't, you'd better read the stories yourselves.
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated (不耐烦的), to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"
The father was angry, "If the only reason you asked is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish (自私的). I work hard every day for such childish behavior." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. "How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?" he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep, son?" he asked.
"No, daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. "It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh. Thank you, daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money started to get angry again. ……
Not knowing what his son meant, the father just stood there, waiting for his boy's explanation. ……
