贵州省贵阳市2014高考英语（新人教版）一轮阅读训练（33）附答案

　　Little of his time is spent in chatting. 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 of stupid crimes.

　　Most television crime dramas are about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested，the story is over. In real life，finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks，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.

　　A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: firstly，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 simpleminded—as he see it—of citizens，social workers，doctors，lawmakers 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 ninetenths of their work is recatching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical (愤世嫉俗的).
