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 nearly as much law as a profeional 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.

Sporting activities are eentially modified forms of hunting behavior.Viewed biologically, the modern foot-bailer is in reality a member of a hunting group.His killing weapon has turned into a harmle football and his prey (~J) into a goalmouth.If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter\'s triumph of killing his prey.

Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting their food, they became farmers.Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, was put to a new use that of controlling and domesticating their prey.The hunt became suddenly out of date.The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs.The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer eential for survival.16.The author believes that sporting activities _________.
