问题 What problem do the police departments across the United States face? [br]  
Police departments in many communities across the United States say they are facing a serious manpower shortage and attracting new recruits is not as easy as it used to be. Police officer Reggie Brown is on patrol in Oakland, California, a city notorious for its crime rate. After 18 years, Brown says the job has become routine. When he started, he loved the excitement. "It was everything you could dream of, I mean you get to drive fast, chase folks, put people in jail. It was like, you know, on a nightly basis there was plenty of action back then." The promise of such thrills had young people like him lining up for police work 20 or 30 years ago. But, as Miami Police Department spokesman Delrish Moss notes, things have changed, "When I grew up, you wanted to be a police officer, an astronaut or president of the United States. I don’t hear those three on the top of the list anymore."

选项 A、an astronaut.
B、a police officer.
C、an athlete.
D、president of the United States.

答案 C

解析 细节题。文中结尾处提到,迈阿密警察局发言人德瑞西·摩斯说:“在我长大时,人们想成为一名警官、宇航员或者美国总统。我再也看不到这3个在排行表的前端了。”这表明在过去人们很想成为一名警官、宇航员或者美国总统。故选项C正确。
