Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV-if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don’t think much of them.

The first difference is that a policeman's real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark on a rainy day, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.

Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (衣着暴露的) ladies or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty — or not - of stupid, petty crimes.

Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks - where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police -little effort is spent on searching.

Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that, he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuading them, usually against their own best interests, to help him.

1．The fist sentence implies that             .

       A．the life of the real policemen and that of the policemen on TV are entirely different.

       B．the real policemen will find the similarities if they can get home in time.

       C．the real policemen seldom can get home in time to watch TV.

       D．the policemen shown on TV can always get home in time.

2．The everyday life of a policeman or detective is             .

A．exciting and glamorous                         B．full of danger

C．devoted mostly to routine matters          D．wasted on unimportant matters

3．When murders and terrorist attacks occur, the police              .

A．prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away

B．make great efforts to try to track down their man

C．try to make a quick arrest is order to keep up their reputation

D．usually fail to produce results

4．What’s the best title for the passage?

      A．Policemen and Detectives                     B．Detectives’ Life-fact and Fantasy

       C．The Reality of Being a Detective     D．Drama and Reality

Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.

A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.

If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple—minded—as he see it—of citizens, social workers, doctors, law—makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine—tenths of their work is re—catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical.

1．A policeman has to be trained in criminal law because           .

   A．he must work hard to help reform criminals

   B．he must behave as professional lawyers do

   C．he must be able to tell when and where a crime is committed

   D．he must justify the arrests he makes of criminals

2．What is the most suitable word that describes the work of a policeman according to the passage?

   A．Dangerous       B．Demanding      C．Distressing    D．Dramatic

3．According to the passage, policeman spend most of their time and efforts           .

   A．patrolling the street, rain or shine               

B．tracking and arresting criminals

   C．collecting and providing evidence

D．consulting the rules of law

4．Why do policeman feel separated from the real of the world?

A．Because they do not receive due support from society

B．Because they find people insincere to them

C．Because they feel superior to the simple—minded people around them

    D．Because they are suspicious of the people around them.

       My mom is always at work and my sisters are never around, so I have nothing to do. My house is borboring. The train lets me escape and explore.

      I have been taking the train for five years. I've learned that it's fast and convenient.  I live about two milmiles from the Blue Line Imperial station.  I like taking the train because it gives me freedom.

       My favorite place to go is downtown.  I take the train to Macy's Plaza in front of the 7th Street Station  to do some shopping at Borders or Victoria's Secret, or to get something to eat at the food count  With 25 cents, you can take the DASH bus from the station to get to the Fashion District. Since I like making ac- cessories(首饰)  like earrings, I love going there because of all the deals on jewelry supplies.

       I take the train to the Museum of Contemporary Art with friends on the first Sunday of every month since we can get in for free. We tour around the museum and get to do an art project at the end.  I like going to the museum because there are a lot of wonderful things.

      The cool thing about the train is that it connects to other train lines, which lets you see different parts of the city. The Gold Line runs from Union Station northeast to Pasadena and now east to East L. A. The Red Line goes from downtown to Hollywood. The Green Line goes from Norwalk to several beaches. When I don't know how to get somewhere, I go to mta. net, type in my starting point and end point and get times and routes. I hardly ever get lost.

Dear Ralph,

I’m a girl in Grade Two in senior middle school. In junior middle school I did very well in my studies. But when I entered senior middle school I began to __41__ the bitterness (苦涩) of failure.

A girl who was not as good as me in __42__ middle school surpassed (超过) me. My mother often scolds me. I can’t __43__ her, so when I return home I don’t want to talk to her. When I do a good job, she __44__ says, “Don’t be so __45__. Think of XXX, she did better than you.” Am I proud? __46__. I just want to give __47__ confidence. When I do something bad, she says, “What are you doing? Think of XXX, she is always better than you.” I had a(an) __48__talk with her. But she just said __49__, “When you grow up, you will know that I have done good for you.”

I can’t __50__ with her. I don’t want to go with her. What should I do?
