All police officers should be made to take a fitness test every year,with a pay cut for those who repeatedly fail,a review said.

In the Metropolitan Police,more than half(52 percent)of its men officers are over- weight, a fifth (22 percent) are obese, and one in 100 are“morbidly(病态地)obese".For women officers in the Met,a third(32 percent) are overweight,16 percent are obese and 2 per-cent are morbidly obese.

Tom Winsor,who has carried out the widest-ranging research of police pay and conditions in more than 30 years,said those who fail the test three times should face a pay cut. Chief constables(郡警察局局长)should be able to fire any officer as part of budget cuts, ending a job for life. It also recommended that applicants should be able to enter the police service directly at inspector rank,and,"after strict testing",at superintendent(主管)rank.

Mr Winsor said:“I think the public will be surprised that after passing a fitness test when they join the police,physical fitness is not tested again in a 30,35-year career."

An initial(最初的)yearly test requiring officers to reach level 5’4 on the bleep test should be brought in by September next year. This is equal to an average speed of 8. 8kph(5.5mph) for three minutes 35 seconds,he said. But this should get tougher by September 2018,along similar lines to the test currently used in Northern Ireland. This includes climbing over walls and pulling bodies and was designed to reflect situations which“police officers do and can become involved in".

Mr Winsor expected that many officers would welcome the proposals,saying they would see it“as a necessary protection for themselves and the public".

1.According to the passage,most of the police officers      

A.do their work well                       B.are out of shape

C.are relatively healthy                    D.take regular exercise

2.It is suggested that if they fail the fitness test three times.they should      

A.have their pay reduced                   B.have to be fired

C.have to do other jobs                    D.pay money as a guarantee

3.In order to cut the budget,Chief constables      

A.try their best to make policeman a life-long career

B.must hire policemen after strict testing

C.have the right to fire those who are unfit for the job

D.recommend applicants become police directly at inspector rank

  Stacey Hillman, who is 10 years old, was reading a magazine about police dogs needing bulletproof vests(防弹背心).She thought that someone should start raising money for the police dogs.

  After she got permission from Chief LaBrusciano, she went to the County Sheriff Don Eslinger.She got busy visiting all the police dogs and telling the departments about her new charity.She made "collection boxes" out of bottles and put a picture of her with a police dog on it.She put these bottles in vet's(兽医的)offices and pet stores.

  The Chief from her hometown police department helped make Stacev's idea an official Charity-Pennies to Protect Police Dogs.The more money she collected, the more popular she became, and the more people offered to donate(捐赠)and help her with her goal of giving every police dog effective protection.

  Stacey travels all around her state to raise money and tell people how important the police dogs are.She speaks at schools, and they donate to her charity, too.Since Stacey started her charity, she has bought bullet-proof vests for the police dogs with all the 140 thousand dollars she has raised.But she has many more K-9 friends that still need to be protected and she promises to keep doing her charity until every police dog in the whole country has a bulletproof vest.

  Each vest costs $700, and every police dog deserves one.There are not always tax dollars to provide K-9s with these vests, and very few departments have them.The police dogs save lives just like police officers do, and often the police dogs are the first to go in.Stacey relies on donations from everyone to provide the dogs with bulletproof vests.

It was a cold night in September. The rain was drumming on the car roof as George and Marie Winston drove through the empty country roads towards the house of their friends, the Harrisons, where they were going to attend a party to celebrate the engagement of the Harrisons' daughter, Lisa. As they drove, they listened to the local radio station, which was playing classical music.

Suddenly the music on the radio was interrupted by a news announcement: "The Cheshire police have issued a serious warning after a man escaped from Colford Mental Hospital earlier this evening. The man, John Downey, is a murderer who killed six people before he was captured two years ago. He is described as large, very strong and extremely dangerous. People in the Cheshire' area are warned to keep their doors and windows locked, and to call the police immediately if they see anyone acting strangely.”

Marie shivered. "A crazy killer. And he's out there somewhere. That's scary.”

"Don't worry about it,” said her husband. "We're nearly there now. But this car is losing power for some reason.”

As he spoke, the car began to slow down. Finally they rolled to a halt, as the engine died completely. Just as they stopped, George pulled the car off the road, and it came to rest under a large tree,

"Blast!” said George angrily. "Now we'll have to walk in the rain.”

"But that'll take us an hour at least,” said Marie, "And I have my high-heeled shoes and my nice clothes on. They'll be ruined!”

"Well, you'll have to wait while I run to the nearest house and call the Harrisons. Someone can come out and pick us up," said George.

"But George! Have you forgotten what the radio said?"

"You'll have to hide in the back of the car. Lock all the doors and lie on the floor in the back, under this blanket. No one will see you. When I come back, I'll knock three times on the door. Then you can get up and open it. Don't open it unless you hear three knocks," George opened the door and, slipped out into the rain. He quickly disappeared into the blackness.

Marie quickly locked the door and settled down under the blanket in the back for a long wait.

Suddenly she heard three slow knocks, one after the other, also on the roof of the car. Was it her husband? Should she open the door? Then she heard another knock, and another. This was not her husband. It was somebody or something else. She was shaking with fear, but she forced herself to lie still. The knocking continued----bump, bump, bump, bump.

Many hours later, as the sun rose, she was still lying there. The knocking had never stopped all night long. She did not know what to do. Where was George? Why had he not come for her?

Suddenly, she heard the sound of three or four vehicles, racing quickly down the road. Someone had come! Marie sat up quickly and looked out of the window.

The three vehicles were all police cars. Several policemen leapt out. One of them rushed towards the car as Marie opened the door. He took her by the hand.

"Get out of the car and walk with me to the police vehicle. Miss! You're safe now. Look straight ahead. Keep looking at the police car. Don't look back. Just don't look back.”

Something in the way he spoke filled Marie with cold horror. She could not help herself. About ten yards from the police car, she stopped, turned and looked back at the empty vehicle.

George was hanging from the tree above the car, a rope tied around his neck. As the wind blew his body back and forth, his feet were bumping gently on the roof of the car-bump, bump, bump, bump.

1.What was the reason for the news announcement on the radio?

A.Some people had been seen acting strangely in the Cheshire area.

B.The police were warning of accidents on the roads in the bad weather.

C.Six people, including John Downey, had been murdered.

D.A dangerous prisoner had escaped.

2.Why did Marie stay in the car when George left?

  A.She was afraid to go out in the dark.   

  B.So no-one would steal the car.

  C.Her clothes weren't suitable for the rain.  

  D.She wanted to get some sleep.

3.Why did the policeman tell her not to look back when he brought her out of the car?

  A.The killer was waiting behind her.

  B.He wanted her to forget everything that had happened during the night.

  C.He didn't want her to see the damage done to the car.

       D.He didn't want her to see the body of her husband.
