But some students have great ideas that simply<br /> cannot wait until graduation day. With many free resourcesand technologies available to them, more<br /> and more university students are finding ways to start small businesses while they are still in school.<br /> Let’s take a look at a few enterprisingundergraduates and their companies.<br /> Green Mobile<br /> As a student at the University of Missouri, Brian Laoruangroch used to sell refurbished<br /> cell phones on eBay as a hobby. But when Brian realized how much money he could make by<br /> buying, fixing, and reselling phones, he decided to create his own website to resell the phones. His<br /> parents loaned him money, and he received money from his local government to found a company<br /> called Green Mobile, which now has local retailstores and about<br /> 20 employees. Brian said balancing work and studies was challenging, but he didn’t forget to pay<br /> attention in class. “I was learning important business concepts while I was using them in my own<br /> business,”he said.<br /> Whitney Williams Collection<br /> Whitney Williams has always been creative, and she enjoys making things in her spare time.<br /> While in elementary school,she sold handmade stationery to people in her neighborhood, and later<br /> she expanded her offerings to include one-of-a-kind purses. When Whitney visited Italy as a student<br /> at Texas Christian University, she fell in love with the handmade jewelry she saw there. It inspired<br /> her to start her own jewelry business. Instead of partying with friends or traveling, Whitney spent<br /> most of her weekends for the next two years selling her high-quality jewelry at small shows and<br /> private sales. As a result, the Whitney Williams Collection is now produced and sold around the<br /> world. Whitney hopes to eventually expand her brand to include shoes, clothing, and accessories.<br /> Punch<br /> As a competitive swimmer, Zac Workman became very familiar with energy drinks. However,<br /> Zac found problems with most energy drinks. They either tasted bad, used chemicals that weren’t<br /> healthy, or made the user feel tired again when its sugary energy was used up. This spurredZac to do<br /> some research when he got to the University of Indiana. Using an old family recipe for fruit punch,<br /> Zac developed an energy drink with natural ingredients, and found a partner to produce it. His<br /> Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 245<br /> <br /> energy drink, called Punch, became popular on his campus.

Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute terms. When<br /> used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they are<br /> still just labels. Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist.<br /> There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often<br /> forgotten. Realism is a particular style, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials<br /> of film, both realistic and formalistic. Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world<br /> for their subject matter, but what they do with this material - how they shape and manipulate it determines their stylistic emphasis.<br /> Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a<br /> minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the<br /> copiousness of life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize)<br /> certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is<br /> less obvious. Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an<br /> objective mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense. They<br /> deliberately stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a<br /> manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing.<br /> We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. Some<br /> filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is<br /> used conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that reproduces the surface of tangible<br /> objects with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity,<br /> and directness. This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the<br /> realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art.<br /> Câu 37: What does the passage mainly discuss?<br /> A. Filmmaking 100 years ago<br /> B. Acting styles<br /> C. Styles of filmmaking<br /> D.
