The payroll for workers in the U.S. film industry totals about $6 billion. There are more than 23,000 screens showing movies throughout the United States. The motion-picture industry is divided into three branches ------- production, distribution, and exhibition. From about 1915 to the late 1940s, large movie studios controlled all three branches of the U.S. movie industry. The studios not only made the films, they distributed them to the theaters, the biggest and most important of which they owned. In 1948, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that studio control over production, distribution, and exhibition was an illegal monopoly. The court ordered the motion-picture studios to give up their role as exhibitors. By 1953, most of the Hollywood studios had sold their movie theaters. Also during the late 1940s, the studios began to restrict their role in the production of movies, partly because of economic competition from television. The studios discovered that, in most cases, they could earn more money by financing and distributing movies made by independent producers. This section deals with the distribution and exhibition branches of the movie industry. For information about production see the section Howmotionpicturesare made. This section also describes attempts by government and private organizations to examine movies and the industry's own attempts at self-regulation. The section ends with a discussion of film festivals and awards. Distributors are responsible for advertising the film and delivering it to its audience in theaters and in homes through television and video-cassettes. Major studios serve as the distributor for most American films. The remainder are handled by independent distribution companies. Some producers are able to secure distribution before the film is even made. At this early stage, distributors might be interested in the movie because of its star or because the film will be a sequel

to a popular film. If the producers have not obtained distribution before filming, they usually wait until the final print of the film is made before presenting it to distributors. 46. “payroll” ( Par. 1, sentence 3) means“ .” A. payment B. list of payment C. list of plays D. cast 47.

Passage 3 Career education is instruction intended to help young people identify, choose, and prepare for a career. Such instruction may focus on a person's role in work, leisure, or family life. Career education differs from vocational education, which is designed to teach specific occupational skills. Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family, in the community, and in schools. In school, career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses. These activities are designed to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills important for work roles. For example, a science class might investigate careers in environmental fields, health, and marine sciences. Career education helps students develop self-understanding and

use it to plan their education and working life. A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school. Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling programs. In kindergarten and elementary school, youngsters learn about different types of work. In middle school or junior high school, children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most. School counselors and teachers help children find educational and occupational opportunities that match their abilities and interests. In high school, students get more specific information about occupations and life styles. They may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions where they learn how to make career decisions. They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation. Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films about occupations or industries. Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs. A student may accompany a worker on the job. Cooperative education combines classroom study with practical work experience. 51. According to the passage, which statement is true? A. Career education is carried out in primary schools. B. Career education is carried out in middle schools. C. Career education is carried out in colleges. D. Career education is carried out in the whole process of children's education. 52.
