High oil prices have not yet produced an economic shock among consuming countries, but further rises, especially sharp (1) , would undoubtedly hurt the world economy, and (2) would inevitably harm producers, too. Beyond this obvious point, (3) , higher prices could even do harm to both oil firms and producers.Big oil firms (4) rolling in money today, but that disguises the fact that their longer-term prospects are (5) . Behind the reserves-accounting scandal at Royal Dutch/ Shell (6) a problem bedevilling all of the majors: replacing their dwindling reserves. (7) existing fields in Alaska and the North Sea are rapidly declining, OPEC countries and Russia are (8) them out. (9) they are to survive in the long term, the big oil firms must embrace other sources of energy (10) oil.(11) it is to believe, higher oil prices could be bad news for producing countries (12) . Political leaders in Russia, Venezuela and other oil-rich countries are bending laws to crack (13) on foreign firms and to strengthen their grip on oil (14) through state-run firms. This may be convenient for the political leaders themselves. Alas, it is (15) to do much for their countrymen. For years corruption and inefficiency (16) the typical results of government control of oil resources.Producing countries should (17) embrace open markets. (18) one thing, shutting out foreign investment will only hurt their own oil output by (19) the sharpest managers and latest technologies. For another, economic liberalisation (including reform of bloated welfare states) would help OPEC countries (20) their economies--as the NAFTA trade deal has done for oil-rich Mexico--and so prepare them for the day when the black gold starts running out. 3()

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 is the best title of the passage()
A. The Legal Profession in America.
B. How to Avoid the Negative Impact Caused by Lawyer.
C. Darth Vaders of the New Age in America.
D. Being a Good Lawyer.
