L35-1:Justice wasdone
The word justiceis usually associated with courts of law. We might say that justice has beendone when a man's innocence or guilt has been proved beyond doubt. Justice ispart of the complex machinery of the law. Those who seek it, undertake anarduous journey and can never be sure that they will find it. Judges, howeverwise or eminent, are human and can make mistakes.
There are rareinstances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract conception. Reward orpunishment are meted out quite independent of human interference. At suchtimes, justice acts like a living force. When we use a phrase like it serveshim right, we are, in part, admitting that a certain set of circumstances hasenabled justice to act of its own accord. When a thief was caught on thepremises of a large jewelry store one morning, the shop assistants must havefound it impossible to resist the temptation to say 'it serves him right'. Theshop was an old-converted house with many large, disused fireplaces and tall,narrow chimneys. '

练习感悟: 这篇文章是我刚开始进行新概念阅读训练的时候就读的,那时读得一塌糊涂,根本跟不上,跟原录音的阅读时长差远了,后来醒悟了,原来要从第二册第一课开始读,慢慢读到此时,终于能够跟上了,可以想见,进步还是挺大的。其实之前每次一想到这篇文章,都有心理阴影,不知道自己的水平是否能够读这篇文章达标的。
