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.

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.
