A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called“public interest law”(公共利益法).   Many other lawyers serve 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 get. But what happens to people who need legal (法律上的) help and cannot pay these lawyers. fees?   Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, gets less money than some lawyers, because she is willing to take less money. Her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.   Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with bad goods. Others are in unsafe houses. Their cases are called“civil”cases. Still others are criminals (刑事犯罪), and they go to those public interest lawyers who are in charge of“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 (正义) throughout our society. 操作提示:通过题目后的下拉选项框选择正确答案。 1.

China Calls for Unified International Rules against Internet Crime   Cyber security has always been a serious issue as the internet industry is ever growing. Nowadays, people can easily connect to the Internet with a simple click of a mouse. But the global network can be easily destroyed by a single leak. The world is facing a difficult situation in keeping web security.   Currently, there are no unified international rules for maintaining internet security. China has called for unified international rules against internet crime. Last year China (and some other countries) handed in a draft Code of Conduct on Information Security to the UN.   World leaders and experts discussed the possible internet threats facing the world. They agreed that the only way to deal with internet security threats was to trust each other and strengthen cooperation. The threats cannot be solved by any one country alone. And for these reasons, countries would have a greater chance of trusting each other in dealing with such threats.   Though great efforts were made to issue common regulations for the internet, few results have been achieved yet. There.s still a long way to go for unified global internet security rules and regulations. 操作提示:通过题目后的下拉选项框选择正确答案。 1.

My Volunteering Experience   My volunteer work helps me grow up. It has made me more aware of the difficulties other people go through and made me appreciate the simple things we have in life.

I now have new career aspirations and the confidence to take forward these new ideas, since I started mentoring at the Open University and gained experience of working with young students.
