18、wcode experience jurisdictionstill-survive judicature advocateas exercise regardWe are about to pass into a world governed by _41_; and a few words will not be out of place as to the way in which codes are_42_in the countries where they form the _43_of the national law. In the first place a code is
19、supposed, in theory at least, to provide a fresh_44_in all those parts of the law with which it deals. It is not conceived as resting upon a presupposed and_45_common law, but as standing upon its own foundations, _46_does, for example with us, a_47_introducing a novel principle, such as Workmen'
20、;s Compensation. We shall not find in a continental code such language as that used in the Supreme Court of_48_Act, 1925, where the jurisdiction of the High Court is defined as including "the _49_which was formerly vested in, or capable of being_50_ by, all or any of the courts following ."
21、; It was the intention of the authors of the French Civil Code that it should be interpreted only in the light of its own_51_and definitions. One of the early commentators, Bugnet, said: “know nothing of civil law; I only teach the Code Napoleon."A very short_52_, however, was enough to show th
22、at this idea was impossible of realization. The judges and _53_, to say nothing of the not less important legal authors, whose task it was to expound and to apply the new Code, could not have done their work had they not been familiar with the old technical terms it adopted, and with the_54_which in
23、 substance it reproduced. Whatever pretence they might make of looking only to the text of the Code, they could not empty their minds of a large body of relevant professional knowledge, _55_ of something which we may, without great error, call the common law of France - or at least the common law of
24、 Paris.Exercise 2disputes justice pursuitprocedure plaintiff rootsprocedural reliance meansadversary jurisdictions claimsjudgment parties opposingIn all jurisdictions there is general agreement that the goal of civil _56_ is the just, prompt, and inexpensive determination of _57_ before the courts.
25、There is similar agreement that _58_ of this goal requires that the law of procedure provides some _59_ for performing each of the following basic functions: notifying the defendant that the _60_ is bringing suit, informing each party of the _61_ and contentions of the other, determining the nature
26、of the dispute and the issues between the _62_, ascertaining the facts, deciding which principles of law govern the case, applying the law to the facts to reach a _63_, giving the judgment effect in some practical way, and having the official actions of lower courts checked by higher courts. With ve
27、ry few exceptions, the differences that exist in the _64_laws of the various_65_ are only differences with respect to the means chosen to perform one or more of these functions. In addition, American rules of procedure, with the exception of those in effect in Louisiana, have their _66_ in the early
28、 English common law. Consequently, most differences are not differences in kind; they are differences in the degree of evolution from early common law concepts. Finally, in all of our jurisdictions much _67_ is placed on the assumption that if each of the_68_ parties takes the steps and advances the
29、 propositions that appear to him or her to best serve his or her own cause, truth and _69_ will emerge. Because of this characteristic, our system is often referred to as the _70_ system.Exercise 3for court celebratinglater patted rejecteddrunk her withprison searched ofprosecutor declaring bothOne
30、evening police officers saw a man and woman running down a street. The police _71_ them. The woman had a bag of money in her hand and a bulge in _72_jacket. They patted her down and found a gun. Then they _73_ down her companion; they found nothing. They took _74_ to the station, booked them and arr
31、ested them for armed robbery. Back on patrol _75_ that night they saw a group of rowdy college students _76_ a football victory. The group was in a quiet neighborhood. The two officers told the youths to “keep quiet”. Still later, they saw a _77_ stumble and fell down; they took him to a nearby shel
32、ter.A few days later, a _78_ charged the two armed robbery suspects _79_ robbery, according to the state's criminal code. The woman went to _80_ ;the jury acquitted her because the only eyewitness died _81_ a heart attack the morning of the trial. After charging her companion, the prosecutor off
33、ered the male suspect a “deal.” In exchange _82_ a plea of guilty, the prosecutor would reduce the charge to simple theft and ask the judge for a sentence to a newly instituted home confinement program instead of to prison. The man accepted the deal and pleaded guilty, but the judge _83_ the request
34、 for home confinement. She sentenced the man to _84_ for two years. Because of good behavior and a court order _85_ the overcrowded prison to be in violation of the Constitution, prison officials released the man after six months, judging that he would not seriously endanger the community.III.

44、u. Yours sincerely Anne ALexander Anne Alexander (Ms)IV. Read the materials and answer the following questions:Exercise 11.Read the following text and answer questions 116-120.Sometimes you might be asked to go to a selection or assessment centre. This is an extended interview which is made up of a
45、series of group activities, rests and presentations. You will be assessed throughout the day by assessors who will be looking to see how well you work in a ream, whether your communication skills are good and whether you can work to deadlines. Team work is important. You don't do yourself any fa
46、vors by trying to take over the group, but at the same time, don't sit back and let everyone else do the work.Dont panic if you're asked to do a presentation on something you don't know much about as the way you give the presentation is often more important than the content itself. You s
47、hould practice beforehand so you know how long the presentation takes. The best advice on dealing with a selection centre is to give it your best shot. If you sit timidly in the corner, the assessor cannot make any judgment about you.When you take a personality test, which is designed to find out ab
48、out your personality and character, what your values are and what motivates you, don't worry about answering questions incorrectly there is usually no right or wrong answers. Answer the questions honestly and positively. There is no point in trying to give the answers you think the employer will
49、 want because firstly you might have the wrong idea about what the employer is looking for, and secondly, you don't want 1o gel tile job and spend the ensuing months trying to be someone who you're not.116. What is the Exercise mainly concerned with?117. How should you behave during the day
50、at the selection centre?118. How should applicants approach giving presentations?119. Does it matter if you answer questions incorrectly in a personality test? Why?120. What does the author say about lying in a personality test?Exercise 2Despite the attention paid within advertising agencies to the
51、whole business targeting specific groups, there have been some spectacular failures to get it right when companies have tried to go international or global with their products. This has been for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, the brand name of the product has unfortunate associations when translat
52、ed into foreign languages. Looking at this area can illustrate how powerful the operation of connotation is -the way in which words can call up associations in our minds. Because of the way we make connections between words and particular ideas, feeling and experiences, brand names are crucial for a
53、dvertisers. They are very economic, acting as little concentrated capsules of meaning. Where advertisers get it right, readers will do the work to generate all the intended connotations.There are whole companies who specialize in offering research on brand-name connotations to product manufacturers
54、looking for a name for a new product, or looking at how best to market an existing product to new, foreign audiences. These companiesfor example Inter-brand, and The Brand-naming Company typically organize brainstorming sessions where they ask groups of people to let their imaginations roam free, fr
55、om which meetings they arrive at shortlists of names whose suitability is then researched further. Names on the shortlists have to pass certain tests: for example, that they are not too close to existing names; that they are pronounceable in all the world's major languages; that they have the right connotations. The latter, however, is a complex area. Even within one language, connotations can be about quite subtle distinctions. For ex
