根据下面内容，回答题：

In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally 21 them andthe job they do--although there are certain people who do not believe that the police 22have thepower that they do.

What does a policeman actually do? It is not 23 job to describe. After all,a policeman hasa number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic, either 24 foot in the centre of atown, or in a police car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spendall,or a lot of, his time 25 up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has tohelp keep the traffic moving, stop 26 motorists and help when there is an accident.

A policeman has to help keep the 27,too. If there is a fight or some other disturbance,we28the police to come and restore order. And they often have to deal with situation at great risk totheir own 29

We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policem'a~, even if he is not a detective( 侦探),will often have to help 30 and arrest criminals.

And 31 do we call when there is an emergency--an air crash, a fire, a road accident, or arobbery? We call the police.32 a policeman has to be prepared to face any unpleasant emergencythat may happen in the 33 world.

The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it 34 well and I support them., but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could 35 do the job of a policeman.
