题目内容

听力原文:W: I just read a curious fact. Did you know that people who spend less than ten minutes in a drugstore are five times more likely to make a purchase than those who spend half an hour there?
M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drugstore for ten minutes, it's usually to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking.
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'd buy something, and then talk yourself out of it?
W: Yes, I have, especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly. But if you run into buying something specific and have very little time. You pick it up, pay for it immediately and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time and you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores, though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or something you never intended to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.

听力原文: The World Health Organization has released a re port about how disease weakens the economies of poor countries. For years, people believed that good health is a direct result of strong economic development. How ever, this study suggests the opposite is true. It says that strong economic development is an important result of improved health.
An international committee of economists and experts in public health and policy carried out the study. It is based on almost ninety investigations in countries a round the world. Some people say the study is the most complete examination to link investments in health care to economic growth. The study calls for a large increase in foreign aid for health care services in developing countries. In the world's richest countries, total spend ing for health care for each person is almost two-thou sand dollars a year. However, in the world's poorest nations, spending on health care for each person is only thirteen dollars a year.
The WHO says this amount should be increased to thirty-eight dollars a year for each person. The money would help poor nations provide treatment for disease. It would also provide babies with important health care early in life.

Justice in society must include both a fair trial to the accused and the selection of an appropriate punishment for those proven guilty. Because justice is regarded as one form. of equality, we find in its earlier expressions the idea of a punishment equal to the crime. Recorded in the Old Testament is the expression "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth". That is, the individual who has done wrong has committed an offense against society. To make up for this offense, society must get even. This can be done only by doing an equal injury to him. This conception(观念)of retributive justice is reflected in many parts of the legal documents and procedures of modern times. It is illustrated when we demand the death penalty for a person who has committed murder. This philosophy of punishment was supported by the German idealist, He gel. He believed that society owed it to the criminal to give a punishment equal to the crime he had committed. The criminal had by his own actions denied his true self and it is necessary to do something that will counteract(对抗)this denial and restore the self that has been denied. To the murderer nothing less than giving up his own life will pay his debt. The demand of the death penalty is a right, the state owes the criminal and it should not deny him his due.
Modern jurists have tried to replace retributive justice with the notion of Corrective justice. The aim of the latter is not to abandon the concept of equality but to find a more adequate way to express it. It tries to preserve the idea of equal opportunity for each individual to realize the best that is in him. The criminal is regarded as being socially ill and in need of treatment that will enable him to become a normal member of society. Before a treatment can be administered(实施), the cause of his antisocial behavior. must be found. If the cause can be removed, provisions must be made to have this done. Only those criminals who are incurable should be permanently separated from the rest of the society. This does not mean that criminals will escape punishment or be quickly returned to take up careers crime. It means that just ice is to heal the individual -- not simply to get even with him. If severe punishment is the only adequate means for accompanying this, it should be administered. However, the individual should be 'given every opportunity to assume a normal place in society, his conviction of crime must not deprive(剥夺)him of the opportunity to make his way in the society of which he is a part.
How is retributive justice reflected in the practice of law?

A. By making up his offense materially.
By proclaiming his conviction of the crime.
C. By isolating the criminals from the law abiding group.
D. By punishing him to the same extent that the damage is done.
