In recent years,there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judical system in the United States.
Costs are straggering both for the taxpayers and the itigants and the litigants,or parties have to wait sometimes many years befre having their day in court.Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of ameliorating the situation,but as in most branches of government,changes come slowly.
One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a backlog.Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences,in which the judges meet in his chambers with the the litigants and their attorneys in order to narrow the issues,limit the witness,and provide for a more orderly trial.The theory behind pretial conferences is that judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when they realize the adequacy of their claims and their opponents' evidence.Unfortunately,at least one study has show that pretrial conferences use more judicial time than they save,rarely result in pretrial settlements,and actually result in higher damage settlements.
Many states have now established another method,small claims courts,in which cases over small sums of money can be thee disposed of with considerable dispatch.Such proceedings cost the litigants almost nothing.In California,for example,the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel.The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading the litigants need to make only a one-sentence  statement of their claim.By going to this type of courts,the plaintiff waives any right to a jury triaal and the right to appeal the decision.
In ciming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to remedy a situation which must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going to have their day in court.

pembahasan:The word"viable"means"workable"or"practical."Although the pretrial conference,according to the reading,has not been as beneficial as had been hoped,the small-claims court is given as a viable suggestion for improvement.Also,the last paragraph suggests that more innovations will be proposed in a continuing effort to find  remedies.Nowhere in the passage is it suggested that all states should follow California's example(A),that the legislature should formulate fewer laws(B),or that no one cares(C).In fact,the entire reading concerns suggested remedies of those who are concerned.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for existing train stations and bridges.In 1863,after spending time working as

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
