This turned out to be true. 8 The matter was reported to the Chief of Police. He ordered us all to be arrested. 9 In prison they fed us on dry bread. Most of it was mouldy. 10 We slept in the same room as a handcuffed prisoner. His handcuffs rattled every time he moved. 11 We lit a fire.

Tom had a hangover. He felt too sick to work fast. (Combine the last two sentences only.) 25 His boss didn't drink.

The report should have been on his desk by 2 o'clock. 27 Tom's headache was now much worse. He just put the receiver down without answering. This was just as well, as if he'd said anything he would have been very rude. 28 Fortunately Ann, the typist, came to Tom's assistance. Ann rather liked Tom. 29 Even so the report took three hours. It should have taken an hour and a half. 30 I went to Munich. I had always wanted to visit Munich.

For the question, mark A,B or C on the answer sheet

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 very much.

About 300 years ago,London was starting 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 stayed in their homes as much as possibe.

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 1929, the first Metropolitan(or London) Police Force was started with 3000 officers. most od 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
