问题     There are rare instances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract【C1】______. Reward or【C2】______are out quite independent of human interference. At such times, justice acts like a living force. When we use a phrase like it serves him right, we are, in part,【C3】______that a certain set of circumstances has enabled justice to act of its own accord.
    When a thief was caught on the premises of a large fur store one morning, the shop assistants must have found it【C4】______to resist the temptation to say ’ it serves him right’. The shop was an old-fashioned one with many large, disused fireplaces and tall, narrow chimneys. Towards midday, a girl heard a muffled cry coming from【C5】______one of the walls. As the cry was【C6】______several times, she ran to tell the manager who promptly rang up the fire-brigade. The cry had certainly come from one of the【C7】______, but as there were so many of them, the firemen could not be certain which one it was. They located the right chimney by tapping at the walls and listening for the man’ s cries. After chipping through a wall which was eighteen inches【C8】______, they found that a man had been trapped in the chimney. As it was extremely narrow, the man was unable to move, but the firemen were【C9】______able to free him by cutting a huge hole in the wall. The sorry-looking, blackened figure that emerged, at once admitted that he had tried to break into the shop during the night but had got【C10】______in the chimney. He had been there for nearly ten hours. Justice had been done even before the man was handed over to the police.
