    Lawyers are less than 1% of American adults,【C1】______ they are well-represented in government. Both the president and the vice-president trained as lawyers. So did 55% of senators and 100% of Supreme Court justices. There are【C2】______ to having a bit of legal expertise among those who write and【C3】______ the nation’s laws, or assess their constitutionality. But there is also a potential conflict of interest. If florists had such a lock on the levers of power, you might expect subsidies for weddings and a campaign to beautify cities. Lawyers, alas, are no more【C4】______.
    The American legal system is the most lawyer-friendly on Earth. It is dizzily【C5】______. The regulations that accompany the Dodd-Frank law governing Wall Street, for example, are already more than 3 million words long—and not yet half-written. Companies must hire【C6】______ lawyers to guide them through a labyrinth(迷宫)created by other lawyers. They must also hire lawyers to defend themselves against attacks by other lawyers on a playing field【C7】______ by lawyers. The cost—roughly $800 a year for every American—is passed on to consumers. The benefits are hard to detect. Americans are probably no less likely to be injured or【C8】______ than the citizens of countries that spend a fraction as much.
    So it is hard to feel sympathy for lawyers facing a【C9】______ labour market. America’s 250 biggest law firms shed more than 9,500 people last year.

None of this is nice for the people【C10】______, especially those with large student debts.
【C4】
选项
答案A
解析 空格前的are提示，空格处应填入形容词或动词分词。本句意为“律师不会更加……”，上一句提到如果卖花商人当权，会做出对其有利的决定(实施婚礼补贴和美化城市运动都可以增加鲜花的销量)，这是自私的行径，空格前有表否定的no more，故应选selfless“无私的”，说明律师也会这样自私。
