该题为细节题。根据第四段第三句“…so do elderly and disabled people who want to save time on errands that require long hours standing in line．”可知，这些服务加速者代替老年人和残疾人排队，这样老年人和残疾人可以节省排队的时间，A项认为服务加速者可以为老年人和残疾人排忧解难，符合文意；根据第三段第二句和第三句可知，非税金收入，比如罚金，占华盛顿政府年收入的7％，仅多斯先生一人就使华盛顿政府每年减少了15万美元的收入，B项与文意相反；根据最后一段第一句“And，who knows，the service expediters might even shame the bureaucrats into pulling their socks up．”可知，作者认为服务加速者也许能使政府感到羞愧而努力改善服务，并不是激怒政府，故排除C；根据第四段第三句“Poor foreigners with little English hire expediters to navi-gate the ticket-fighting process…”可知，那些几乎不懂英语的可怜
的外国人雇佣服务加速者来应对交通违章罚单申辩，而不是D项中的帮助贫穷的外国人回家。

A continuing phenomenon in business education is the emphasis on ethics. The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business ( AACSB ) accreditation standards emphasize the need for an ethical awareness along with an understanding of "influence of political, social,legal and reg-ulatory,environmental, and technological issues..." 61 )One of the difficult ethical challenges it wants addressed concerns "inclusiveness," which we have interpreted to mean a "large umbrella" approach, in, for example, employee concerns. To this end, matters such as .sexual preference are dealt with in a case involving a supervisor.62 ) Possibly the greatest ethical idea that could build bridges in an increasingly fragmented society is the idea that empirical evidence must be sought and used to bring an agreement in controversial public issues.
Clearly the greatest impact upon the business enterprise evidencing external political and social environments occurs with respect to law. Law is the way in which society and the political process translating into concrete form the forces shaping the business environment. Perhaps the most impor-tant development is the recognition that positive law has become the ethic of our time.63 ) A key reason for this is the highly competitive nature of the business environment, where international competitors are threatening the very existence of the domestic U. S. businesses;this competition forces U. S. businesses to take a "bare bones," "do just what the law requires and no more" approach to ethics. Actually, the U. S. legal system is for more than a"bare bones" to legal rights.
64)In fact,it could persuasively be argued that law in this nature has crept into the realm of natural law and norms formerly described by private decision makers are now decreed by legislative commands. It is tree that ethics involves doing the "right" thing, the just thing, the morally correct thing;however, positive law is now commanding us to "do the right thing. " Given the need to keep costs under control, most U. S. businesses give a sigh of relief and say," This is enough ethics for me ;thanks,"if they can simply comply with the pervasive positive law. These businesses point out that their foreign competitors do not have the extensive--and expensive--protective labor laws, the Clean Water Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and a host of other laws.65 ) These laws have praiseworthy goals; nonetheless, they make competing with businesses in other countries without such laws difficult,if not impossible, particularly when costs are taken into account.
