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 _2_have the power that they do.
What does a policeman actually do? It is not _3_job to describe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in _4_.A policeman often has to control traffic, either _5_ 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 all, or a lot of, his time _6_up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop _7_motorists and help when there is an accident.
A policeman has to help keep the _8_, too. If there is a fight or some other disturbance, we _9_ the police to come and restore order. And they often have to _10_ situation at great risk to their own _11_.
We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policeman, _12_ he is not a detective(侦探),will often have to help_13_and arrest criminals.
And _14_ do we call when there is an emergency—an air crash,a_15_,a road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. _16_a policeman has to be _17_to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the _18_ world.
The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it _19_ well and I support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could _20_ do the job of a policeman.

When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more__1__ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him _2_much in repairs that he decided that he had better _3_it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly_ 4_ to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so_5_ of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was _6_ when they met one evening, and said, “What's _7_, Dave?”
Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may _8_more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's_9_was sensible(合理的),he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, _10_ very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no _11_.But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry(询问).A man rang up and said he would like to_12_ him about the car. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be_13_or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll _14_my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to _15_ it.”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, _16_ to wait there for the people who had_17_ his advertisement. Even Dave had to _18_that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸).Then, soon after he had got the car as clean_19_ it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Dave's car and then said, “Have you reported this _20_ to us yet, sir?”

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students, you must be __1__-speaking, with a good, strong,__2__voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to __3__what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
__4__a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit still before his class; he __5__the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his__6__, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express his__7__.

The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't __10__that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important__11__between the teacher's work and the actor's. The__12__has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the__13__words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually__14__beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem __15__on the stage.
A good teacher__16__in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his __17__: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't __18__something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must __19__it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who were fine__20__in class but unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn't keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life."_1_ teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily _2_.
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough food _3_friendship to _4_. However, there can be_5_disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are considered very important, but we need to have clear in our _6_ the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or _7_ at arm's length? Do we want to _8_ourselves or do we want to walk on the surface? For some people, many friendships on the surface are _9_enough—and that' s all right. But at some point we need to 10 that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of_11_experience _12_ our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it _13_be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are _14_of interest and action in return.
What are some of the _15_of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships _16_time. Another“major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships _17_ actions in return. In 18words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _19_time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die _20_.
