问题     The law is a great mass of rules, showing when and how far a man is liable to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so forth. These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them in the main by reading books.
    He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three years’ study to practise, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new questions which he has to answer.
    The power to use books, then, is a talent which would be the lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility and fineness of mental fibre to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct for where to look for what he wants.
    But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way. [br] The first thing a law student has to do is to______.
选项 A、read books
B、practise law
C、hand over money
D、answer questions
答案 A
解析 文中第二段第一句说：“他开始时做的少，读的多……”结合第一段最后一句：“一个律师学习这些规则主要靠读书。”由此我们可以得出结论：一个学习法律的学生不得不做的第一件事就是读书。
