Public Defender is a lawyer appointed by a local government to represent indigent persons who are accused of a crime and cannot afford legal fees. It is distinct from provided attorneys who may be assigned by courts to take on particular cases in some jurisdictions. Although the right to counsel varies from country to country, most have now recognized the need for defense counsel in criminal cases. Some form of assigned counsel is usually provided to the needy. The U. S. Supreme Court has upheld the right to counsel of all persons accused of felonies, regardless of their ability to pay. It declared in i963 that every poor defendant charged with a felony is entitled to free counsel as a matter of constitutional right. For any case that involves the possibility of imprisonment, the poor are guaranteed a publicly provided defense lawyer during the police questioning, pretrial hearing, trial, and appeal.

TEXT K First read the following question. 89. Why is there no need to worry whether the emergency exit can be opened? A. Because none except airhostesses knows how to open it. B. Because aeroplane doors open outwards. C. Because the airpressure outside the cabin is more than that inside. D. Because man doesnt have enough strength to open emergency exit in a flying plane. 90. We cant infer from the passage that ______ A. aeroplane doors open inwards. B. passenger plane cant fly beyond 30,000 feet. C. emergency exit loses its use in the altitude of 30,000 feet. D. 2.5 tons is an impossible weight for man to lift. Now scan the passage and answer the question. If someone opened the emergency exit on a plane, would everyone be sucked out? There is no need to worry, because the passenger would not be able to get the door to budge. Aeroplane doors open inwards. At 30,000 feet -- the typical altitude or a jet-- the external air pressure is only about three pounds per square inch. The cabin is pressurized to about 11 pounds per square inch. So, for every square inch of door there are three pounds pushing in and 11 pounds pushing out, giving a net outward pressure of eight pounds. If the emergency exit has a total surface of 650 square inches opening the door would be like lifting a two-and-a-half-ton-weight.
