Passage 1　　　　　　　　
The American economic system is organized around a basically private-enterprise， market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen，striving to make profits，produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen；and the profit motive，operating under competitive pressures， largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus， in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers，coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes，that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy，this mechanism is provided by a price system，a process in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller-producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand，the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If，on the other hand，producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost，this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller-producers，which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus，price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
The important factor in a private-enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own productive resources（private property），and they are permitted to hire labor，gain control over natural resources，and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy，the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights，including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.

文章结构与内容　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
文章结构：花开两朵型。作者在文章开始提出两个核心概念：private-enterprise（私人企业）和market-oriented （以市场为导向的），随后分段论述。这种文章的重点是两个概念的定义，以们之间的联系和区。本文介绍了美国经济体系的主要特点：以市场为导向（其中供求关系决定价格），以私人企业为基础（其中私有财产包含生产资料和某些权利）。
