Jill lived with her grandma. The old woman was strong enough that she could do everything herself at home.

As soon as Jill began to tidy the rooms or wash something, her grandma stopped her and told her to work hard at her lessons. Jill had to listen to her grandma and spent all her time on her study. So she went to collage at last.

Now the girl has left college. She did well in all her subjects and easily found work in Mr Brown’s company. She was sure Mr Brown would put her in an important position(位置).

On the first day the boss gave her a broom and said, “Your first work is to sweep the offices.”

“What?” the girl called out in surprise,“I’m a college student, you know.”

“I’m sorry I don’t know that. Here, give me the broom and let me show you!”

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.

About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.

In 1750,Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called “Bow Street Runners” because they worked near Bow Street.

Fifty years later, there were 120 “Bow Street Runners”, but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829 , the first Metropolitan(or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.

Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.
