问题       A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".
      Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers’ fees?
      Public interest lawyers fill this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below than what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.
      Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction and have no place to go to. Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout our society.
Which of the following is not a matter for civil case?

选项 A、A tenant is faced with eviction.
B、A landlord refuses to fix a dangerous staircase.
C、A burglar is arrested.
D、A store sells a faulty radio.

答案C

解析第四段提到了商店出售有问题的收音机，房客住在危险的房子里和房客被赶出去都属于民法案例。只有选项C是说盗贼被逮捕，这是属于刑事案例，故选C。
