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 wer e 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.( )31.In 1700, the men who protected the streets were paid .

Learning a foreign language opens you up to the culture and history of a country. So in order to know more about China, I started to learn Chinese.But at times, I found myself in funny situations. When I greeted strangers in China, they began to talk a lot and very fast. They asked me questions about everything. But all I could do was to look at them with a blank face. I had no idea what they were talking about. Were they just being kind, funny or impolite? Many people want to make friends with me. But I am a bit upset when I find out the reason why they need a foreign friend. They say they want to practice their English. I don’t need friends like this. I like friends to share my feelings and ideas with.However, the more Chinese I learn, the more similarities I find it has with English. In English, thick-skinned is to describe a person who doesn’t care for criticism (批评). I was surprised to find that houlianpi in Chinese means the same. And both languages share some common idioms (习语). For example, “look on with folded arms” means xiushoupangguan, and “burn the boats” is similar to pofuchenzhou.I’m still on my journey to learn Chinese. I believe that sometimes you have the most fun on a journey.( )36. The writer comes from ___A. the UK B. the USA C. Australia D. Canada( )37. Many Chinese want to make friends with the writer because ______.A. they are interested in Western cultureB. they want a partner to practice English withC. they are willing to share feelings and ideas with himD. they want to help foreigners with their Chinese( )38.
