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 principal business of a lawyer is______.
选项 A、to discuss the material he has read
B、to learn about real life
C、to advise people who have legal problems
D、to study the law
答案 C
解析 文中第四段第三句说：“他的事情是：在法庭上努力打赢官司；为了使他的当事人摆脱麻烦而建议他们如何去做。”所以对有法律问题的人们提供建议应该是一个律师的主要工作。
