times, too, people treat film art as opposed to film as a business. This split is related to the issue of entertainment, since entertainment generally is sold to a mass audience. Again, however, in most modern societies, no art floats free of economic ties. Novels good, bad, or indifferent are published because publishers expect to sell them. Painters hope that collectors and museums will acquire their work. True, some artworks are funded through taxes or private donations, but that process, too, involves the artist in a financial transaction(交易 ). Films are no different. Others are funded by patronage or public moneys. Even if you decide to make your own digital movie, you face the problem of paying for it- and you may hope to earn a little extra for all your time and effort. The crucial point is that considerations of money don’t necessarily make the artist any less creative or the project any less worthwhile. Money can corrupt any line of business (consider politics), but it doesn’t have to. In Renaissance Italy, painters were missioned by the Catholic church to illustrate events from the Bible. Michaelangelo and Lenonardo da Vinci worked for hire, but it would be hard to argue that it hurt their artistry. Here we won’t assume that film art prevents entertainment. We won’t take the opposite position either- claiming that only Hollywood massmarket movies are worth attention. Similarly, we don’t think that film art rises above mercial demand, but we also won’t assume that money rules everything. Any art form offers a vast range of creative possibilities. Our basic assumption is that as an art, film offers experiences that viewers find worthwhile. 66. Where should the sentence “It doesn’t happen by accident.” be put in the passage?

But why sit and think how pathetic (可憐的 ) you are? There are some things that may help you lift up your mood. If it fails you, at least while doing these things you won’t have time to think of your problems. You win anyway! The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively. It’s very hard, because usually when we feel depressed we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad character issues we have. But if you try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances for changing your mood into better are very good. Just try to avoid bad thoughts. Instead, try to think only about the bright side of your life. Don’t fet: We are what we think we are. You should also try doing something only for yourself, something totally selfish. This could be something you wanted for a long time: maybe a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood. This doesn’t have to be costly. The point of all this is being good to yourself. Besides giving presents to yourself, buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy. Think of your friends, family, relatives or even local charities, choose one person and give him a gift. Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind. Try to concentrate on the present and future to make your life better in every possible way. Most bad moods and mental attitudes are the result of something that happened to us in the past. It is vital to your mind, soul, body and your life on the whole that you stay in the present with all your thoughts and feelings. If you have too much time, volunteer it. We usually think that the problems we have are huge, although if you try to go to hospital, you’ll see that there are a lot of people who have more severe problems. Moreover, you’ll see that people are still working, smiling and laughing. This kind of work will definitely help you understand that your problems are very small and maybe even funny. Don’t fet to be creative! Creating doesn’t include only painting or playing an instrument, it also includes cooking, sewing, writing, photographing and many other activities. While concentrating on creating, you will fet how you have been feeling. All you have to do is to take control of your emotions and make them positive instead of letting them control you. Making yourself feel better isn’t that hard. It’s hard only to start doing something that would lift up your mood.
