Question

In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally    1   them and the job they do-although there are certain people who do not believe that the police should have the power that they do.
What does a policeman actually do? It is not a(n)   2 job to describe. After
all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic,either on foot in the center of a town, or in apolice car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time   3up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop   4  motorists and help when there is an accident.
A policeman has to help keep the   5 , too. If there is a fight or some other
disturbance, we   6  the police to come and restore order. And they often have to7  situation at great risk to their own   8 .
We expect the police to solve crimes, of course; so an ordinary policeman,
9  he is not a detective(偵探), will often have to help   10 and arrest criminals.
And who do we call when there is an emergency-an air crash, a   11 , a
road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be   12  to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the   13 world.
The police do an absolutely necessary job. They do it   14  well and I
support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could  15  do
the job of a policeman.
