In Britain, people have different attitudes(态度)to the police. Most people generally   1  them and the job they do, but some people said that the police shouldn’t    have special   2 .

What does a policeman actually do? It is not a(n)  3  job to describe. After all，a policeman has a number of jobs to do. A policeman often has to   4  traffic, either on foot in the centre of a town, or in a police car on the roads. Indeed，in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend a lot of time  5  up and down main roads. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving，stop speeding cars and help when there is a(n)  6  .

A policeman has to help keep the  7 ，too. If there is a fight, we  8  the police to come immediately. And they often have to deal with situation at great risk of their own  9 .

We want the police to solve crimes，of course，so an ordinary(普通) policeman,    10  he is not a detective，he will often have to help   11  criminals. And   12  do we call when there is an emergency—an air crash，a fire or an earthquake？Of course the police. So a policeman has to  13  to face any terrible emergency that may happen in the modern world.

The police do a  14  job，they do it so well that I support them. But I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could   15  do the job of a policeman.

　 In some parts of the Unites States, farming is easy. But farming has always been difficult in the north-eastern corner of the country, which is called New England.

　 New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who wants to start a farm here has had to work very hard. The first job is to cut down all the trees. The next job is to dig the stumps （树桩） of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has the most difficult job of all, removing stones from his land, which never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones.

　 That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around the new England fields. The stone walls are not high, and can easily be climbed, but they keep the farmer’s cow from joining his neighbour’ cattle.
