In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally them and the job they do-although there are certain people who do not believe that the police have the power that they do.
What does a policeman actually do? It is not job to de-scribe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in . A policeman often has to control traffic, either 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 up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop motorists and help when there is an accident.
A policeman has to help keep the ，too. If there is a fight or some other disturbances, we the police to come and restore order. And they often have to situations at great risk to their own .
We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policeman， he is not a detective （侦探），will often have to help and arrest criminals.
And do we call when there is an emergency-an air crash, a ，a road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. a policeman has to be to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the world.
The police do an absolutely necessary job; they do it well and I support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could do the job of a policeman.

The eyes are one of the most expressive of body language．Keith，seventeen，from Montclair， New Jersey，learned the hard way about one the eyes can make．“I had a teacher who heavily on classroom discussion，”Keith says．“He seemed to have a strong to know just when I didn’t have the answer．I couldn’t how he could be so .Then it dawned on(逐渐被人明白)me． I didn’t know the answer，I would looking at him．When I did know what to say，I always stared straight back him. From that moment on，I myself to look him in the eye， I knew the answer or not．That trick has me a lot of trouble．”
Many people， some policemen，believe eye contact is a good of testing honesty．If someone can’t look at you directly in the eye，then he or she is not playing ，they insist. After many experiments， ，a number of exports have found out that good liars can make false eye contact．
Eye contact，though not a sure of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so，you know his attention is on you．When he turns his head away， his mind is probably ．But there is ．A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact， no matter how interested he is in the other person．And certain nationalities，such as the British and Germans，are much oriented(适应)to eyeball-to-eyeball contact than，say，the French and the Arabs．
