阅读短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

    Being able to go to a perfect university is what every high school student dreams of. However, for Jin Chengkuang, a high school senior at Shenzhen Experimental Chenghan School, his long-standing dream has been to be a film director. He has received offers from four top art schools in the United States, which means he is already on the way of making his filming dream come true.

    Although Jin is only 18 years old, he has had some experience of filming. During his three years in high school, Jin produced four more short films besides Choose and Out of Control, which were more successful.

    According to Jin, he shot Choose with an Argentinian student when he was at a summer school programme in New York. It was a short film about freedom. The film was produced in a classroom with only a fish tank as the main prop (道具). To express the opposite of freedom, the tank was empty in the beginning, but suddenly, a fish appeared and swam freely in the tank. In the end, the fish disappeared, leaving us an open ending. It took Jin and his partner one month to finish the six-minute short film.

    As a beginner, Jin has been quite lucky so far. Last winter, he got a chance to join the well-known film director Chen Kaige when they travelled to Northern China to film I Legend of the Demon Cat.

    Jin said, "A great firm takes everyone's efforts. Although the conditions were pretty poor, it was all worth it because I learned a lot."

A、his first work was paid well B、he could travel to Northern China to shoot a film C、he had a chance to learn from a famous director D、he could experience the trouble of the directors

    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."
