Ⅷ. Read the passage and answer the following questions.
How would you persuade（劝说）your parents to support your dream? American actress Emma Stone created a PowerPoint presentation（陈述）to get her argument across. Stone is a rising star in Hollywood. She has played the role of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man’s high school love interest, in two Spider-Man movies.
The actress said she has something in common with her character in the film. “Gwen is clear on what she wants to do with her life ... I think I am in the same ballpark（同一范围）there.”
Stone made up her mind to become an actress at the age of 15. But would her parents agree to her leaving school early and pursuing（追求）her dream? __________.
“I used a lot of computers when I was younger, and my dad’s a businessman, so I just thought a presentation is the way to get my point across,” she said.
She titled the presentation Project Hollywood and used pop singer Madonna’s classic song Hollywood as the soundtrack, saying “just please let me move to LA to be an actress.”
Her tactic（方案）proved to be a success. In 2004, Stone dropped out of high school and moved with her mother to Los Angeles. She was homeschooled after that.
Now Stone is a successful actress with many films to her name. Her next step is to try different things like “bizarre（奇怪的）” characters or comedy. Will she persuade directors with PowerPoint presentations too?
