题目内容

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”

The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are so selfish!”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.

“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”

“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.

“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

London police are well known in the world. Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700 there was no policeman in London at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night, and they were not paid very much.

About 300 years ago, London started to get bigger. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people had to stay 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 London Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. There was no policewoman in London until 1920.

Today, London police are quite well paid and only a few police officers still ride horses.

Perhaps the London Police Force’s greatest achievement (成就) is to meet changing conditions and provide excellent police service (服务). The two main reasons for the Force’s development were the growth of population and the progress of science and technology.
