23、 is the only one allowed to do so. “ I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?“ “We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not. “
24、 “So when it goes down, you go down with it. “ “That“s good, sir. “ “How long will the computer be down?“ I wanted to know. “I have no idea. There“s no way we can find out without asking the computer. “ After the girl told me they had no backup (备用) computer, I said. “Let“s forget the computer. What
25、 about your planes? They“re still flying, aren“t they?“ “I wouldn“t know,“ she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only “IT“ knows. “It“ can“t tell me.“ By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines.

30、 how far a man is likely to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so forth. These rules are contained (包含) in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books. He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three year
31、s“ study to practice, still, all his lifelong and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer. The power to use books, then, is a talent (天资) which he would be (将要成为的) lawyer ought to have. He ought to be
32、 very flexible (灵活的) and fine to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words.

But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the m
33、ost important. A lawyer does not study law to recite; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules, which he has learned in real life.

You can“t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth (污秽) and dirt. My children
37、must get out of this. But how? The money that we“ve saved isn“t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a group of hungry children watched her. I saw those children look
38、ing at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn“t eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer (阴沟).
