问题     Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV —if they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops don’t think much of them.
    The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.
    Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad (穿衣不多的) ladies or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. 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  —or not —of stupid, petty crimes.
    Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. in real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks — where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police —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. So, as well as being overworked, a detective has to be out at all hours of the day and night interviewing his witnesses and persuade them usually against their own best interests, to help him.
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
选项 A、Policemen feel that the image of their lives shown on TV is not accurate.
B、Generally the detective’s work is over once the arrest has been made.
C、People are usually willing to give evidence.
D、Policemen and detectives spend little time at the typewriter.
