题型描述: 阅读理解
After my father passed away, I found a piece of paper in his wallet. It was old and almost crumbled (破碎) away at my touch. I carefully unfolded it and found the following: Wanted: Honest men and women. Job description: Crowd control, watching, and patrolling (巡逻). You will often work with a partner, someone who must watch out for you while, you do the same for them. You must be in control of your temper when others may lose theirs. You must be physically fit, of high intelligence, and the highest moral fiber(道德力量). You must be willing to work long hours, perhaps standing or walking for the entire shift. Training: Extensive and on-going. Pay: Not very high. Benefits: The satisfaction of a job well done; positive contribution to society; the opportunity to make a real difference in the community. The knowledge that you help keep children safe. Drawbacks: Long hours, low pay, danger, and occasional loneliness and boredom. To apply, talk to the nearest Police Station about training as an officer. My father lost his life in the line of duty as a police officer. He never spoke about his work, preferring to come home to peace and quiet and to his favorite chair. But when I read this, I felt I was closer to my father.
