[简答题]In January 2010 Ami took over an old warehouse with the intention of opening an art gallery. As the warehouse had to be converted, Ami entered into two contracts, one with Bry to do all the necessary plastering and one with Cis, who was to do all the necessary painting. Both Bry and Cis were to be paid ￡5,000. Both received initial payments of ￡1,000 and agreed to have the work completed on 31 March, as the art gallery had to be ready for its fi rst exhibition on 1 May. At the end of February, Bry told Ami that he would not complete the plastering in time unless she agreed to increase his payment by a further ￡1,000.

[单项选择]Paula Jones case against Bill Clinton is now, for all possible political consequences and capacity for media sensation, a fairy routine lawsuit of its kind. It does, however, have enormous social significance. For those of us who care about sexual harassment, the matter of Jones v. Clinton is a great conundrum. Consider: if Jones, the former Arkansas state employee, proves her claims, then we must face the fact that we helped to elect someone -- Bill Clinton -- who has betrayed us on this vital issue. But if she is proved to be lying, then we must accept that we pushed onto the public agenda an issue that is venerable to manipulation by alleged victims.
