In the debate "College teachers should be required to have a doctoral degree", the opposition should concentrate on the possibility that some people may cheat before they get the degree.

Perhaps all criminals should be required to carry cards which read: "Fragile: handle with care." It will never do, these days, to go around referring to criminal as violent thugs. You must refer to them politely as "social misfits (不能适应社会的人). The professional killer who wouldn't think twice about using his club or knife to batter some harmless old lady to death in order to rob her of her meager life savings must never be given a dose of his own medicine. He is in need of "hospital treatment". According to his misguided defenders, society is to blame. A wicked society breeds evil or so the argument goes. When you listen to this kind of talk, it makes you wonder why we aren't all criminals. We have done away with the absurdly harsh laws of the nineteenth century and this is only right. But surely enough is enough. The most senseless piece of criminal legislation in Britain and a number of other countries has been the suspension of capital punishment.

The violent criminal has become a kind of hero-figure in our time. He is glorified on the screen; he is pursued by the press and paid vast sum of money for his "memories". Newspapers which specialize in crime reporting enjoy enormous circulations. When you read about the achievements of the great train robbers, it makes you wonder whether you are reading about some glorious resistance movement. The hardened criminal is cuddled and cosseted by the sociologists on the one hand and adored as a hero by the masses on the other. It's no wonder he is a privileged person who expects and receives VIP treatment wherever he goes. Capital punishment used to be a major deterrent. It made the violent robber think twice before pulling the trigger. It gave the cold-blooded poisoner (下毒者) something to ponder about while he was shaking up or serving his arsenic cocktail. It prevented unarmed policemen from being killed while pursuing their duty by killers armed with automatic weapons. Above all, it protected the most vulnerable members of society, young children, from brutal violence. It is horrifying to think that the criminal can literally get away with murder. We all know that "life sentence" does not mean what it says. After ten years or so of good conduct, the most desperate villain is free to' return to society where he will live very comfortably, on the proceeds of his crime, or he will go on committing offences until he is caught again. People are always willing to hold liberal views at the expense of others. It's always fashionable to pose as the defender of the under-dog, so long as you, personally, remain unaffected. Did the defenders of crime, in their desire for fair play, consult the victims before they suspended capital punishment? Hardly, because all the victims were dead.

According to the passage, which of the following is the author's opinion?

A．All criminals should be required to carry cards read: "Fragile: Handle with Care."

B．Capital punishment is the only way to deter criminals.

C．Society is to blame.

D．All criminals need hospital treatment.

（注：请直接在任务栏中提交，无需用附件形式提交。） Jason Walker, an account manager at HC Health Equipment, has not received the raise that he thinks he deserves. When Jason met with his boss, Connie Scott, last Thursday for his annual evaluation, she told him that he had missed too many days of work (eight days during the year). He was unwilling to work beyond his 40-hour work week to complete rush jobs, and had not attended two mandatory training sessions on the company's new computerized inventory system. Jason agrees that he missed the training sessions, but he was out of town on a job-related assignment for one of those sessions. He missed eight days of work, but he was allowed five days of sick leave as part of his contract. The other three days missed were due to his having to stay home to take care of his children when they were sick. He believed that these absences were covered by the company's parental leave policy. Finally, he does not agree that employees should be required to work beyond their contractual 40 hours. Suppose you are Jason and write an email to Connie Scott, stating your case.
