35、rking for them. 3 Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchmans negligence ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned, that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk

36、. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a “pure accident.“ In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another. 4 In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse

37、and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jurys decision because it argued that the railroads negligence was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the con

38、nection was too remote to consider. 5 As the century wore on, public sentiment began to turn against the railroads -against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their callousness (无 情 ) toward individuals. 82 Which of the following is NOT true in Farwells case? （ A） F

39、arwell was injured because he negligently ran his engine off the track. （ B） Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful. （ C） The court argued that the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job. （ D） The court decided that the railroad should n

40、ot be held responsible. 83 What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court? （ A） The railroad compensated for the damage to the immediate buildings. （ B） The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire. （ C） The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building. （ D） The railro

41、ad worker paid for the property damage himself. 84 The following aroused public resentment EXCEPT_. （ A） political power. （ B） high fares. （ C） economic loss. （ D） indifference. 85 What does the passage mainly discuss? （ A） Railroad oppressing individuals in the US. （ B） History of the US railroads.

42、 （ C） Railroad workers working rights. （ D） Law cases concerning the railroads. 85 Lucky Chip. Goodman. The Pantechnicon. Admiral Codrington. Those names should prompt one of two reactions. Either youre completely baffled. Or the next few paragraphs are already covered in a thin layer of drool. The

43、reason? These are some of the best burger joints in Londonand as such, are subject to the kind of adulation and argument once reserved for football clubs or Romantic poets. If youre unfamiliar with the great burger boom, you may think you know what Im talking about: chains such as Byron or Gourmet B

44、urger Kitchen, which freed us from the limp grey patties of McDonalds or Burger King. But the real action is away from the high street, in places that reinvent the burger as an intoxicatingly tender and mind-blowingly juicy trip to gastronomic nirvana. London, in particular, is in the grip of burger

45、-mania. A swarm of bloggers, led by the wonderfully named Burgerac, scour the streets for the perfect patty, with some organising regular tasting nights featuring guest chefs (Im going to one tonight, after six months of trying and failing to book a place). At the higher end, New York super-chef Dan

46、iel Boulud sells his London restaurant, not on the basis of his large collection of Michelin stars, but the promise to serve you the best beef this side of Fifth Avenue. Cynics will say that this is a bubble, fuelled by culinary fashion and/or a recession-induced yearning for juvenile comfort food.

47、But the marvel of the burger is that while it appears on every menu in the land, the application of top-class meat, top-class bread and top-class cooking turns it into something transcendent. A few weeks ago, I went to Meat Liquor, currently one of the coolest restaurants in the country. Nestled beh

48、ind Debenhams in Oxford Street, and with a gloomy yet lurid aesthetic (think torture porn meets country and western), its so achingly hip they dont even give you cutlery, just a great roll of kitchen paper. But as I tucked into the “Dead Hippie“ cheeseburgerand sipped a viciously powerful cocktailI

49、felt like I was having a religious experience. The first commandment? Never eat at Ronald McDonalds again. The best hamburgers, said Mark Twain (or possibly Oscar Wilde), are made from sacred cows. In that spirit, Id like to float the idea that we in Britain have got our dinner parties the wrong way round. In France, I learned recently, they drink the red wine first, before switching to white - reducing both the scale of
