A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called “public interest law”(公共利益法).
Many other lawyers serve 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 get. But what happens to people who need legal(法律上的) help and cannot pay these lawyers' fees？
Public interest lawyers fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, gets less money than some lawyers, because she is willing to take less money. Her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.
Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with bad goods. Others are in unsafe houses. Their cases are called “civil”cases. Still others are criminals (刑事犯罪), and they go to those public interest lawyers who are in charge of “criminal”cases.
These are just a few of the many situations in which the men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice(正義) throughout our society.
()21. A person who needs and uses legal help is called a client.
()22. Public interest lawyers serve people who can pay high fees only.
()23. If only the rich could be helped by lawyers, the justice system would be nothing but cheating.
()24. Public interest law includes criminal cases only.
()25. A landlord refuses to fix a dangerous house which is NOT a matter for a civil case.

The Greatest Gift One day, I was telling my mother about a new girl in school. Suddenly she asked, "Who are your two best friends, Helen？" "Jill and Jaime." "Well, what about Karen and Cindy？" "I don't know who their best friends are." "No," she said. "I mean, why aren't they your best friends？" She seemed upset and hurt. "But they're my sisters." "Yes, but they can still be your best friends. Friends may come and go, but your sisters will always be there for you." At the time, the idea of my sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We used to fight over toys, food, attention and what to watch on television. But my mother never let the three of us forget it: sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish was to give us something that she had never had. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment（實現(xiàn)）of her dream had only just begun. She had given us each a gift—our sisters—and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She would frequently tell us how lucky we were, constantly take us to places together so we grew closer, and would even punish us equally, giving us yet another bonding（親密關(guān)系）experience. It was somewhere in between Mom's lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories that we realized that Mom was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I share with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, holding hands when crossing the finishing line. When Karen got married, I was her maid of honor. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets. It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn't have t. She already knows. One day, one of Hele's sisters asked her to be her best friend.A.True
