    　　Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the‘wash up’．An application is calling on the next government to bring it back．

    　　At school the children are taught to add up and subtract(减法)but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account－let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world．

    　　Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England．Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say．And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called“wash-up”earlier this month－the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed．Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum(课程)．

    　　As the Personal Finance Education Group(Pfeg)points out, the good habits of young children do not last long．Over 75％ of seven-to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends．By this age, 26％ see a credit card or overdraft(透支)as a way of extending their spending power．Pfeg predicts that these young people will“find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school．”

    　　The UK has been in the worst financial recession(衰退)for generations．It does seem odd that－unless parents step in－young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university．In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97％ supported financial education in schools, while 3％ said it was a job for parents．

    (1)

    　　Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV．

    　　The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolved round 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 nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to．

    　　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 drama is 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：first, 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(欺骗)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 simple-minded－as he see it－of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, 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 nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars．This makes them rather cynical．

    (1)

    A policeman has to be trained in criminal law because _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    he must work hard to help reform criminals

    B．

    he must behave as professional lawyers do

    C．

    he must be able to tell when and where a crime is committed

    D．

    he must justify the arrests he makes of criminals

    (2)

    What is the most suitable word that describes the work of a policeman according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Dangerous．

    B．

    Demanding．

    C．

    Distressing．

    D．

    Dramatic．

    (3)

    According to the passage, policemen spend most of their time and efforts _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    patrolling(巡逻)the street, rain or shine

    B．

    tracking and arresting criminals

    C．

    collecting and providing evidence

    D．

    consulting the rules of law

    (4)

    Why do policeman feel separated from the real of the world?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because they do not receive due support from society．

    B．

    Because they find people insincere to them．

    C．

    Because they feel superior to the simple-minded people around them．

    D．

    Because they are suspicious of the people around them．
