you been a police officer? M: Ive been a police officer for thirty years. W: Thirty years. And youve had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess. M: Yeah, Ive done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now Im supervising investigations. W: Mr Smith, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree? M: Yes, its definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment. W: So, whats probably the most stressful job you can have? M: Id say patrol is the most stressful assignment. W: Thats interesting! In what way? M: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor, the fear of the unknown. W: What do you mean, Mr Smith? M: Well, in patrol work, you dont know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Lets say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation. W: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation. M: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop. W: Really? M: Really! Thats why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings: people back over policemen, people shoot policemen, people jump out at policemen — different kinds of things. So thats probably the most stressful time. W: I see. Lets take a break and then well move on to our next topic. M: All right. Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 9.
