23、e of a case often hinges on an organizing principle known as a case theme. For example, the case theme in the trial of Erik and Lyle Menendez, two brothers accused of murdering their parents, was “the abuse excuse“. The brothers should be excused because they had been severely abused. A primary case
24、 theme of the O. J. Simpson defense was “the police messed up and planted evidence“.Themes are simple, brief (one sentence!) statements that capture the essence of your argument. You control the lens through which the facts will be viewed. For a trial lawyer, this is absolutely critical. If the lawy
25、er fails to establish a case theme, he or she gives opposing counsel the advantage. Or even worse, the listeners, or those you are trying to persuade, will adopt the theme suggested to them by your adversary. Whoever controls the definition of the case is inevitably the one with the power.Just as a
26、theme gives the listeners a generalizing principle around which information can be organized, so too does it give you one. The great trial lawyers emphasize the need for an overall strategy as well as day-to-day tactics. A case theme embodies a lawyers overall strategy in a nutshell and helps him or
27、ganize the case so that he always stays on target. Use a theme to help you stay well and easily focused on the overall thrust of your presentation.A good case theme also greatly enhances your credibility. When you establish a succinct, easy-to-remember theme, you let people know that you have a well
28、-defined and thought-out point of view. Such specificity adds to your perceived competence and trustworthiness. Remember: successful trial lawyers are never wishy-washy.（分数：5.00）(1).The case involving two brother killers demonstrates that _. A. even murders may be excused sometimes B. a well-defined

A. the trial lawyer from losing his or her target in defense B. the opposing side from forming their case theme C. the audience from being easily
31、 persuaded D. those who have power from controlling the trial（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).An additional merit of a good case theme is that you may _. A. get more information B. control the opposing side C. prove your competence D. trust the jury and the judge（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The last word “wishy-washy“

This saying often attributed to the late Duchess of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a
33、 virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the betteror worsepart of my life. Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless an unkno
34、wn relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is o
35、ne of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinn
36、ess as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fator even only somewhat overweightis bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.Our obsession with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in m
37、any case, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of, life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary probl
38、emtoo much fat and a lack of fiberthan a weight problem.The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid ma
39、ny diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vain glor

45、t two major systems. The image system appears to be associated with the right hemisphere of the brain. This hemisphere seems to be specialized to process visual and auditory imagery, spatial representation, pure melodic thought, fantasy, and the emotional components of consciousness. Imagery allows
46、us to continue to process information when we are not actively looking at or listening to new stimuli, It reproduces the sounds or sights of the past, enriching our thoughts, dreams, or fantasies with a sense of “actuality“ or context.
