Constructing a 2 bike for someone who is that tall isn’t easy, but if there was someone in Houston who could make it 3 , it was Jeff Nielsen. Nielsen, the owner of West U Cycles, has become 4 of a bike-builder to the stars in Houston. Nielsen said: "You got a guy who’s 7’6". The bike wasn’t going to take normal-size handlebars. It wasn’t going to take a normal-size seat. The bike had to be able to 5 a guy who weighs 310 pounds. " Collecting all the necessary parts from bike shops and custom bike 6 from across the country was the most 7 part. Once all the parts arrived at his shop, Nielsen and his 8 at West U spent about two days putting them all together. And as if 9 if they stumbled upon it on the street, Nielsen added a special touch with Yao’s name painted in white on the top tube. 10 .

Another great difference between cops (警察) and their television counterparts (对应的人) is their physical condition. Detectives everywhere work twelve hours a day, seven days, most weeks. A study of British detectives’ working hours found that they spent five hours a day at home. This means that detectives’ marriages are often shaky affairs, and they are said to have the highest 1 rate of any professional group. And most real-life detectives, far from being the tanned(皮肤晒黑的), fit heroes of the screen, are white-faced, short of several weeks’ sleep. And living on their 2 . A detective’s work is decided by the type of crime to which he is 3 . An officer working in a big city, either in Britain or America, will deal all day, every day, with assaults, robberies, thefts, 4 —whatever comes his way. If he is assigned to a specialist unit, like the Murder Squad in London, his interests are 5 on the people who commit those crimes, and the rest of the world passes him by. The work he does is determined by the laws 6 to those crimes, making it hard to compare the work in different countries. The training of detectives, too, is often quite different. When a British detective enters the force, he will already have done his sixteen weeks’ 7 training. After two trial years on the beat he can join the CID—the Criminal Investigation Department—again on trial, and after two years, if he’s good enough, becomes a detective constable(警官). Then he has a further three months at a detective training school where the studies are almost 8 in criminal law, and the pass mark is 80 percent. As a diversion(娱乐), the students get 9 lectures on murder investigations and the use of explosives, but the rest is hard grind(专心学习). However, in New York there is much less formal training. A young policeman gets a few weeks in school, mainly learning self-defense and the basic powers of arrest. He then starts learning his trade in 10 on the streets. If he is "active" there, he can be tried out in the detective department—there is no school. If he learns fast, he stays.
