D
A strange, new dilemma faces Chinese pedestrians: should yohelp an elderly person who has fallen into the street? The answer seems simple. Your conscience forces yoto help someone in danger. But many Chinese are discovering that some of these injured people are scammers. They accuse good Samaritans(好心人) of having knocked them over in the first place, and they file complaints in hopes of receiving large amounts of compensation.
There are frequent reports on such incidents and following disputes. On Sept 8, a new case happened in Huainan, Anhui province. Yuan Chen, a 20-year-old college student from Huainan Normal University, claimed that she helped an injured elderly woman on the street. But the woman’s family has demanded that Yuan take full responsibilities for the injuries.
Since the incident happened in the security cameras’ blind spot, both sides are looking for witnesses to clear their names. The local police department is also investigating the case. But how can yopossibly solve a case like this, where the only evidence comes from two conflicting viewpoints?
“This kind of cases should follow the principle of ‘the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim’,” Ye Lin, a law professor from Renmin University of China, told China Central Television. The burden of proof means the collection of proof or evidence. In civil cases, “if yoaccuse someone of causing yoharm or losses, yoshould collect convincing proof to back your claim,” said Ye. “If yocannot do that, the law will not be able to support your claim.”
The law may not resolve all the problems, however. Some elderly people choose to blackmail(敲诈) their helpers because they do not have health insurance. To prevent this, the country needs to put in place a better social security net.

D. There’s no doubt that the elderly usually fell down on purpose to claim compensation.

B. Both sides are in search of evidence that can clarify their opinions.
C. Both sides are in search of evidence that can wash away their crimes.
D. Both sides are in search of someone who can prove they are telling the truth.
34. What can we infer from Ye Lin, the law professor’s words?
A. Ye Lin thinks it is Yuan Chen who is responsible for gathering proof.
B. In civil cases, the accused should collect proof as well to reject the claim.
C. The principle regards the accused as innocent until convincing proof can be provided.
D. Since it is hard to collect convincing proof, both sides should take on the responsibility.
