8、t home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops(警官 ) dont think much of them. The first difference is that a policemans real life revolves round the law.

9、m 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 an alley after someone he wants to talk to.

Viewed biologically, the modern foot-bailer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His
15、 killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey(猎物 ) into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunters triumph of killing his prey. To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over
16、a million years evolving as cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting-field.
