Lawyers are regarded as Darth Vaders of the New Age in America. America has become overpopulated with lawyers—the legal profession has transformed the American system into a government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers. This has led to an explosion of litigation(诉讼), which has burdened the paying public with billions in legal bills. These are paid by all the people in the form of higher costs, higher prices and lower productivity.
As a group, lawyers are one of the most reactionary forces in American society. In an age when we need cooperation and self-responsibility, they promote conflict and blame. Where we need unity, they promote division. Where we need honest communications, they practice the art of distortion in an effort to win legal games.
A recent study reported in the San Francisco Chronicle found lawyers bad for the economy. They are obviously bad for the total society; they have been called America’s own home grown terrorists due to their explosive, random, and negative impact on the nation. It has been suggested that nothing would benefit the society more than a five year moratorium(延期偿付) on all civil litigation and locking down the law schools until the next century. Of course, this will never happen. Lawyers are powerful figures in the Receding Age and they will not readily surrender their privileged positions.
Given the negative impact of lawyers on society in general, it is not surprising that they have had a very negative impact upon the employee-employer relationship as well. The number of so-called "wrongful discharge" cases has increased dramatically as lawyers have found a new area to exploit. Some employees now spend more time documenting their cases against their employers for future litigation than they do performing their duties.
Which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、It’s reported that lawyers are bad for the economy.
B、Lawyers have been called terrorists due to their explosive, random, and negative impact on the nation.
C、A five year moratorium on all civil litigation and locking down the law schools until the next century have been put into practice in America.
D、Lawyers gave a very negative impact upon the employee-employer relationship.
答案
C
解析
本题为是非判断题。在第三段和第四段中,作者指出了律师对美国经济的恶劣影响,被称为“国内恐怖主义者”,以及律师对劳资关系的负面影响。而选项C是有人这样提议,但作者立即进行了否定,说“Of course,this will never happen.”即这不可能发生。
