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.

If you want to watch and know something about birds, you must find a good place near the bird nest（巢）.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their babies from April to June. Because the baby birds are too young to leave the nest, parents often go to look for food and come back in several minutes. So it is good to watch birds. When we watch birds, we’d better hide ourselves in a close place to the nest, and it’s better to use binoculars(双筒望远镜).

a) Each nest must have six boards（木板）. Don’t make the boards too slippery（滑）.
b) Dig a small hole in the front of the nest as a “door”. The “door” is big enough so that birds can fly in or out easily.
c) Make sure the rainwater can’t go into the nest.

Some people think that all wild animals are danger (1). In fact very few of them will attack a man if he leaves them alone. If you met a lion or an elephant, you would run away. But even a lion will avoid a man unless it is very angry. （2）(狮子和老虎只杀死并吃掉人类) when they have grown too old to catch their usual food. Some animals get frightened if they only smell a man. Some stand and look at him for a while before they run away. Some take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction. Wild animals only attack a man when they are afraid that he means to hurt their babies, or when they are shot at and made angry.
