The idea behind "the rule of law" is that it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life. "We live under a rule of law, not of men. " American teachers tell their students. The students accept the idea. They believe that "no man is above the law" , and that laws apply equally to all people no matter how wealthy they are, what their personal connections are, or what their
stations
in life are. Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held, and many foreigners could not understand, that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behaviour in connection with what was called " Watergate Scandal (水门事件)". Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished, Americans believed, even if he was the President.
The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures. To get a job with government institutions, for example, or to get government funding for a research project, one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements. Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.
This is not to say that personal contacts, wealth, and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed.
They
may. What is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree. In reality, connections can sometimes help a person get a government job. Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behaviour that poor people would be likely to be punished for. But in general the rule of law prevails, and Americans are proud that it does.
It can be learned from the last paragraph that in the United States the rule of law______.
选项
A、is not carried out as fully as it should be
B、makes poor people also likely to be successful
C、is, in reality, almost unlikely to realize
D、makes sure that everyone is punished for his wrongdoing
答案
A
解析
根据最后一段第四、五句“In reality,connections can sometimes…that poor people would be likely to be punished for.”可知,人际关系有时能帮助一个人得到一个政府部门的工作。当两者都实施某种非法行为后,富人有时可以免受惩罚,穷人则很可能受到惩罚。由此可推知,在美国,法律的执行还不够充分。故选A。
