单选题A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer I have some urgent things to say to good people.
Days after days my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn"t hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.
Of the many values that hold civilization together—honesty, kindness, and so on—accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law—and, ultimately, no society.
My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people"s behavior are far less effective than internal restraint such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.
Fortunately, there are still communities—small towns, usually—schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not tolerated—they simply are not done!" Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has gone. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants including your life if you enrage him.
The main cause for this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now in a shocking reversal, it is the criminal who is considered victimize: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn"t teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn"t provide a stable home.
I don"t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.

单选题{{B}}Passage One{{/B}}
If women are mercilessly exploited year
after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the
thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are
always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which
have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of
fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in
front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has
nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the
intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to
replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw
away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they
have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and
so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes
anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned
with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested
in outward appearance (外表) and they take advantage of the fact that women will
put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can
hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a
woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way
through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and
women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the
constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic
qualities of inconstancy (反复无常) and instability? Men are too clever to let
themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress
reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to
decide.
