Her special area is called “public interest law“. Many other lawyers represent only clients who

9、 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 fees? Public interest lawyers fill this need. Lisa, like other public

15、ps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he

16、 made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains f

17、our or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life. The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for yo

21、describe the modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite.

22、 A modern manufacturing(生产 )system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1955 s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc. “ State of

23、the art“ is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art“ is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern

24、electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy. “State of the art“ is not a new expression.

25、evolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “ state of the art“. Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow.

30、） Two New Expressions 25 As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16 to 24-year-olds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemploymen

31、t benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step. More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1955s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wage

32、s that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work. A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long: ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early-1955s rec

To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work exp

34、erience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year: half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme. The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in Febr

35、uary, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, they stood to lose up to two weeks benefits.

36、 Yet the scheme has also polarized(两极分化的 )opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy “Right to Work“ campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in “forced labor“ , several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting wor

37、se, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers(for now, at least)but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the pro
