Section C 26 Lawyers who offer free legal help for their clients are commonly called “pro bono“ lawyers. In recent

18、years, there has been【 B1】 _law firms in the United States that do pro bono work. Among the trend-setters is the city of Los Angeles. A 65-year-old woman, who【 B2】 _herself only as Linda, says she has been fighting for a year to get guardianship of her grandnephew, Michael. Then she found Bet Tzedek

19、, an【 B3】 _that provides free legal help to those who cant afford a lawyer. Bet Tzedeks staff connected Linda with pro bono lawyers from a large law firm, and they【 B4】 _her. After a year of fighting, Linda won guardianship of Michael. A growing number of lawyers, many from big law firms, offer free

It also has a healthy pro bono【 B7】 _worldwide. Lash spends his workday talking to the community and organizations that offer free legal help to

Lash says there are many reasons law firms offer free legal help. “【 B9】 _really maintain a competitive edge, major law firms really need to have some good and healthy pro bono programs.

Its unc

23、omfortable to witness and uncomfortable to feel. Witnessing your childs anger can be especially uncomfortable. In order to【 C1】 _this feeling, parents will often encourage children to “stop crying“. The “stop crying“ parent is just doing what they were taught by their own parents. While telling your

24、 child to “stop crying“ is【 C2】 _child abuse in itself, your child may still need help with depression,【 C3】 _, or other issues later in life. This cycle can be stopped, however, if we learn how to create healthier anger in our kids, and in ourselves. To understand why stuffing emotions away is unhe

25、althy, think of emotions like they are【 C4】 _wounds. When you cut your finger, your body knows to【 C5】_blood vessels and release white blood cells. In order to let your cut finger heal, youve got to let the bodys natural process work. Like the body, the psyche knows what needs to happen to【 C6】 _the

26、 emotional wounds. To let your mind heal, youve got to let yourself go through a healing process as well. If you dont let yourself heal, whenever a similar event happens in your life, the old emotions will【 C7】 _and cause you pain. Until you learn to examine your feelings and let them go, theyll act

27、 like cuts that never close. When we find our anger too uncomfortable to process and let go, we set that model for our children to copy. If a child never sees his or her parent express anger, the parent teaches that child that they, too, should never express anger. Or, if a parent always expresses h

28、is/her anger loudly and【 C8】 _, the child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening. The first thing you can do to create healthier anger in your children is to practice creating healthier anger in yourself. Try mindfulness exercises to start feeling more comfortable when b

31、less to hand over their life savings, have come forward one woman lost more than 100,000. It has also emerged that, in some rare cases, the banks have been refunding the money. BLast month Guardian Money highlighted how thousands of mostly older people had fallen victim to the so-called “ courier fr

32、aud“ (快递诈骗 ), which starts with a phone call out of blue. Callers pretend to be phoning from the bank investigating a fraud in some cases they say they are police officers and have been successful in conning (诈骗 ) people out of big sums. CIt works because potential victims are invited to call the ba

33、nk back using the phone number on the back of their debit card. Having dialed that number, they naturally assume they are speaking to genuine bank staff and hand over the crucial personal details. But the conmen have simply kept the phone line open and wait for the bank call. DThe two victims we fea

34、tured in June had lost 23,000 and 7,000. Their banks, Barclays and NatWest, refused to help on the basis that they had personally asked to withdraw their money, and the banks had simply complied. EGuardian Money has since been contacted by another victim who lost 68,000, but in this case has been re

35、funded by Barclays. She was called by someone claiming to be from Tesco Finance, saying that he had a reason to believe her Tesco credit card had been fraudulently used online, and that her bank account could also have been compromised. As this had happened to her husband about two years earlier, sh

36、e took it more seriously than she might have. She was invited to call the number on the back of her Santander bank card and got straight through to what she thought was its fraud department. “I did not give any bank account details and he was extremely convincing, having answers for all my questions

37、 about security. I then transferred my life savings of 68,000 into what I thought were two Santander secure accounts. I later discovered these were two Barclays accounts at a branch in east London. “ It was only when it emerged that Tesco had not called that she realized what had happened. But the g

38、enuine Santander fraud department made it clear that it was not responsible as she had made the transfer. “I was devastated (极为震惊的 ) and in shock: like many other victims, this money was all I had saved, including my pension lump sum. They took not just the money but my future hopes, dreams and the

39、safety net for a time when I would possibly need extra funds. “ Three days later she was told the Barclays accounts were closed and all the money gone. FThe case was referred to the Metropolitan Police serious fraud department and she contacted the Financial Ombudsman Service for a judgment on the b

40、anks decision. Six months later it notified her that Barclays would repay the 68,000 in a “full and final settlement of my complaint against them as a gesture of goodwill“. She adds: “I was delighted. I have been extremely fortunate, but most do not get the same result. You cannot believe what an im

41、pact this can have. I felt incredibly stupid and lost all confidence. I stopped going out at one point. “ GBarclays says the money was refunded because the account to which it was moved had already been flagged up as suspicious. It explains: “Where we are alerted to suspicious activity, or it is pic

42、ked up by our transaction profiling, we will investigate and if we are satisfied that the accounts are being used to launder the proceeds of crime we act as quickly as possible to close the accounts. Customers who transferred funds into the account after a fraud has been detected would receive a ref

43、und. “ HLast week, Warwickshire police warned about cold calls from people purporting to be a bank official or police officer after an 89-year-old from Atherstone lost more than 100,000. IWhen Guardian Money ran its June story, one reader said the same thing had happened to his wife, and that she ha

44、d been refunded by HSBC. He said he cited the case of Barclays Bank plc v Quincecare Ltd. , 1992, and quoted this from the judgment: “ Given that the bank owes a legal duty to exercise reasonable care in and about executing a customers order to transfer money. If the bank executes the order knowing

45、it to be dishonestly given, shutting its eyes to the obvious fact of the dishonesty, or acting recklessly in failing to make such inquiries as an honest and reasonable man would make, no problem arises: the bank will plainly be liable. “ HSBC, without admitting liability, had replaced the 5,000 in h

46、is wifes account within a few days, he wrote. Money asked barrister Richard Colbey, of Lamb Chambers, to see whether this argument could work for other fraud victims, and he said not. “ The citation he gives is one of the often used and obvious law, but does not help with your cases where the bank h

47、as not closed its eyes to something obviously wrong. “ JSince this scam (骗局 ) came to light, telecoms providers have come under pressure to quickly terminate calls when the recipient puts down the phone. Currently, if you phone some two-thirds of BT numbers you can remain on the line for several min

48、utes, even if the person taking the call has put down the handset. KThis allows the scam to succeed. The victim hears a fake dialing tone, and calls what they think is their bank. Ofcom says it has been working with the industry to tackle the problem. The telecoms regulator says TalkTalk reduced the

49、 disconnect time to two seconds on its network in September 2013. Sky did the same in June this year. BT has so far reduced the time to a maximum of 10 seconds for around 6 million customers on its network representing a third of BTs local exchanges. LOfcom expects the remaining exchanges, which are more complicated to change, to take up two years to upgrade. Virgin Media hopes to cut the time
