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.
The word " stations" ( Para. 1) is closest in meaning to___________.
选项
A、stages
B、situations
C、successes
D、social positions
答案
D
解析
根据后面列举的尼克松总统的例子可知,只要触犯了法律,不管地位如何,一定要受到惩罚,哪怕这个人是总统,且根据第一段中的wealthy(富有的),personal connections(人际关系)可推知,station应是“社会地位”的意思。故选D。
