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’ fee?
    Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help need, 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 (being driven) and have no place to go. Their cases are all called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which the men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout society.  
What is the difference between public interest lawyers and other lawyers?

选项 A、They have had more highly specialized training.
B、Their training is much cheaper.
C、They may offer help to those who can’t afford to pay.
D、They work long, difficult hours for the money they earn.

答案C

解析 细节题。本题要求回答“公益律师和其他律师有什么不同?”,原文第一段第四句“All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. ”指出了所有律师的相同点,第二段也通过举例说明公益律师甚至不收钱为人们提供服务.故选C。
