Section C 26 The American economic system is organized around a basically private enterprise. Its【 B1】 _economy in which consumers dete
16、rmine which shall be produced by spending their money for those goods and services. Private businessmen,【 B2】_to make their profits, produce these goods and services in【 B3】 _with other businessmen, and the profit【 B4】 _. operating under competitive pressures, largely【 B5】 _how these goods and servi
17、ces are produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers,【 B6】 _with desire of businessmen to gain more profits and the desire of individuals to【 B7】 _their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it. An im
18、portant factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and【 B8】 _by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a system in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers. If the product i
19、s in short reply relative to the demand, the price will be a bit up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If, on the other hand, more supply of products results in reducing its cost, this will tend to【 B9】 _offered by sellerproducers which in turn will lower the price and permit mor
20、e consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system. The important factor in a private-oriented economy is that individuals are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In th
21、e American economy, the concept of【 B10】 _embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including determining the price or making a free contract. 27 【 B1】 28 【 B2】 29 【 B3】 30 【 B4】 31 【 B5】 32 【 B6】 33 【 B7】 34 【 B8】 35 【 B9】 36 【 B10】 Section A 36 People tend to
22、 underestimate their life expectancy, and its not surprising. Its the look-around problem again: You【 C1】 _from life spans of older friends and family members and figure out whats in【 C2】 _for you, too. But in an era of rapidly improving life expectancy, the look-around method once again gives the w
23、rong answer. Life expectancy at age 65 today is 15.6 additional years for woman. For both sexes, this represents an【 C3】 _of more than two years just since 1970. By the time the youngest baby boomers turn 65, the Social Security Administration【 C4】 _that life expectancy at that age could be as high
24、as 18 more years for men and 21 years for women. Note that everyone【 C5】 _very nearly a 50 percent “risk“ of living longer than their life expectancy. That reality makes retirement planning【 C6】 _difficult. On the day a husband and wife【 C7】 _65, they may have only a year or two of living between th

A good rule of thumb might be to plan against the possibility that you will【 C8】 _three quarters of the people in your age group an actuarial(保险核计的 )calculation our Website calculator allows you to make. You may not want to【 C9】 _a child a college education just s
26、o you are sure to have enough money to celebrate your 95th birthday, but you also dont want to become a burden on your children just because you unexpectedly live to be 10 years older than the【 C10】 _life expectancy for people your age.

28、standing of the many facets of the film industry. While graduating from one of the many top film schools or film directing schools does not ensure a film school graduate success in the film industry, it certainly increases the odds in his or her favor. The film industry is becoming much more competi
29、tive and graduates of film schools or film directing schools have more doors opened to them because of their film school or film directing school diploma or degree. Because graduating from one of the many film schools and film directing schools requires lots of time and money, make sure that film sc
30、hool or film directing school is, in fact, the option that will best help you reach your film career goals. Choosing the Film School Program That Is Right for You B)The film industry is a lucrative, multi-faceted one. Depending on what part of film production and movie making you would like to learn
31、, there is a film school or film directing school for you. Top film schools and film directing schools are located all over the United States, and choosing the right one can often prove very difficult to a prospective film student. Researching Film School Options C)Due to the increasing demand of fi
32、lm-related jobs, film schools have been increasing in number. However, not all of these film schools issue film degrees or film diplomas that arc taken seriously in the film industry. To be sure that you avoid attending one of these film schools, make sure you do plenty of research on the film schoo
33、l. Some questions you may want ask yourself are: Has this film school or film directing school been around for a while? Is this film school or film directing school affiliated with a major university? Does this film school have the credentials to back up its program? Have this film schools teachers
34、worked in the industry? D)If the answer to many of these questions is no, you may want to consider another film school. Well-established film schools that have been around for a long time are generally taken more seriously in the film industry. The film students of film schools affiliated with major
35、 universities are also more widely accepted. As a prospective film student, you want your film school teachers to have had experience in the film industry. If not, how can you expect to learn from them how to break into the film industry? The film schools credentials are very important. Some film sc
36、hools give degrees that are almost worthless in the film industry. Make sure that the film school that you choose is one that is respected in the film industry. Film School Location E)Another factor in choosing a film school is location. If you would like to remain closer to home, then check the fil
37、m schools in your area. Many of the most acclaimed film schools are located in New York and in Los Angeles, as they are the two major film centers in the United States. You may want to choose a film school in one of these or another major city, because it will give you a chance to be close to the fi
38、lm industry. This opens up more opportunities for you to get a film-related internship or job. Film School That Meet Your Career Needs F)Depending on what branch of film most interests you, you will want to select a film school with a degree/program that will aid you in your particular field of inte
39、rest. G)There are three major types of film schools. Industry film schools are film schools that prepare you for a career in Hollywood and teach you how best to go about selling your movie ideas to producers. Independent film school will help you if you want to produce major films outside of the Hol
40、lywood system. Experimental film school does not teach the financial and business side of film, but focuses on the artistic side of film. Film School Degrees vs. Film School Diplomas H)Another very important factor when choosing a film school is knowing what the film schools offer you upon graduatio
41、n. Some film schools will offer a degree, and some will offer a diploma upon completion of the course, but no degree. That is not to say that the programs are not recognized by the film industry, however. Many of the film degrees available are MFA(Master of Fine Arts)Degrees. To be considered for ad
42、mission into a film school program of this nature, you must already have an undergraduate degree. I)If possible, visit the film schools or film directing schools you are seriously considering attending. Make sure that you like the campus, city and program they have to offer. You are given many optio
43、ns when looking for a film school. Make sure you choose the one that is right for you. Applying to Film School J)When applying to a film school or a number of film schools, you will be asked to provide them with various items to demonstrate your ability as a film-maker and prospective film school st
44、udent. You may want to start early accumulating things that will look impressive in order to be admitted to your first choice film school. Preparing Your Film School Resume K)The first item you will be asked to submit will be a resume. In addition to the things you would put on any college applicati
45、on, you will want to focus on certain things. Many film schools look for students with advanced writing skills. Taking writing classes will give you an edge. Acting and theater-related classes will also help you, especially if you hope to specialize in directing during your film school career. Direc
46、ting requires you to be able to relate and effectively communicate with the actors you are working with. Also, be sure to include any previous movie production experience you have, if any. Making an Application Film for Film School L)The other, equally important thing that a film school will want to
47、 see is a sample movie. Film schools want to see you in action. They want to see an example of your film production abilities. If you dont have a video camera yourself, try to borrow one from a friend. The movie should not be very long. It should probably be between 5 and 10 minutes. Make multiple m
48、ovies. Watch them with others and have them give you feedback. Your films will get progressively better as you gain more experience. With this information in mind, you may want to take different extracurricular film programs and attend film camps to give yourself an extra edge in the competition for
49、 film school admission. Other Requirements for Film School Applications M)Some film schools may ask for other things, including a screenplay, or other example of your writing, an animation storyboard, or photographs. Much of it depends on the individual film schools, and what area of film you want to enter. For example, if you wanted to enter animation, you would most likely need to send your prospective film school drawings. Be sure to check the admissi
