    Gary Oldman is like the English version of Leonardo DiCaprio. They are both actors who are "underappreciated (未受到充分赏识的)", as GQ magazine said. DiCaprio didn't win his first Oscar until 2016 at the age of 42. In 2018, Oldman finally got his first Oscar at the age of 59 on March 5.

    He took home the Best Actor award at the 90th Academy Awards. He won the award for his performance as former British prime minister Winston Churchill in the movie Darkest Hour. Many believe that Oldman accurately reproduced Churchill's appearance and personality, such as his round body, large jowls and cigars (雪茄). Reporter Brian Truitt wrote in USA Today that after watching the movie for just 10 minutes, you forget that you're seeing Gary Oldman—there is just Winston Churchill.

    Oldman was already seen as an excellent actor even before winning his Oscar. In a 2015 survey, he was voted Greatest Actor to Never Win an Oscar, according to Ranker.com. He is known for his versatility (可塑性). His acting style is expressive due to his theater training. He has played many classic roles: the vampire (吸血鬼) Count Dracula in Dracula (《惊情四百年》), the corrupt (腐败的) policeman Norman Stansfield in Leon (《这个杀手不太冷》), and Harry Potter's noble godfather (教父) Sirius Black.

    Oldman said he acts not in order to win awards, but simply for the pleasure of acting. "Acting was my way out," Oldman told Interview magazine. "The fun of it was getting away from myself and stepping into the characteristics and the behavior of someone else."

(1)、Which of the following is TRUE about Gary Oldman?
A、He is an American actor. B、He has won two Oscars. C、He is 59 years old. D、He was Britain's prime minister.
(2)、Who did Gary Oldman play in Darkest Hour?
A、Winston Churchill. B、Count Dracula. C、A policeman. D、Sirius Black.
(3)、According to Brian Truitt, Gary Oldman's performance was ________.

    He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got at his family's small house on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

    On the day before the bass(鲈鱼)season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and bass with worms. Before long, when his pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the bank and he very successfully lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

    The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, the fish jumped up and down in the moonlight. The father looked at his watch. It was 10 P.M.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. "You will have to put it back, my son," he said. "I have never seen such a big fish before." cried the boy. "There will be other fish," said his father. "The boy looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by his father's voice that the decision was not be changed. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water.

    That was 34 years ago. And he has never again caught such a beautiful fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see the fish again and again—every time he comes up against a question of ethics(伦理). For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

    We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young. For we would have learned the truth. The decision to do right lives fresh in our memory. It is a story we will proudly tell our friends and grandchildren.

    "Let's go wrestling, Dad!"《摔跤吧,爸爸!》) is one of the Top 10 movies recently. It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name's Mahavir. In real life, he is called "the father of India women wrestling" because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.

    A very famous Indian actor, Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him to play this role. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time.

    Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.

    It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and do it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.

    The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last. As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts.
