A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".

Many other lawyers represent 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 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 older public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.

Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (驱逐，赶出) and have no place to go to. Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These. are just a few of the many situations in which men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout our society.

A person who needs and uses legal help is called a ________ 查看材料

A.lawyer

B.client

C.tenant

D.case worker

Today, however, many America women like to use Ms better than Mrs. and Miss. The word Mr. does not tell us if a man is married or not. Many women think this is an advantage for men. They want to be equal to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know if they are married or not.

There are some problems with Ms, however. Not all women like to use Ms. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. But young women usually like it better than older ones do. Perhaps Ms will be used by more American women before long.

4)、Men don't want to tell people that they are married.

Questionsare based on the following passage．

In London， over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage．But many arebecoming needless．Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night droppedfrom 22% to 14%．This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space．Butit is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages， says David Leibling， a transport expert．

Few rust when left outside， and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number ofvehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%．Instead， garages now solve a different set ofproblems．

Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessaryand unwanted things．Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience， says Paul Bishop， who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire．Also， some young people unableor unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage．In addition， a garage may be rentedto young folks fond of music．It is， more often than not， an ideal place to freely play music．

However， many publicly owned garages lie empty．Of the 6，000 garages owned by Hackney

council， around 40% are free．Over 3，000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon， says Steve O"Connell， a councilor at the London Assembly．He thinks they could be turned into small offices．That has already happened in places such as Berlin．

Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome， says Bill Hodgson of University College London．Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice．A recent proposal to turn some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councillors feared that local residents would not approve．Getting planning permission can be complex，

and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems．Like the garages themselves， these plans may be useless and abandoned．
