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.(57)

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（小偷）. 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.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems．For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country．If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy．They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely．They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy．It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them．Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists．Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants．

Too much tourism can be a problem．If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry．This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer．

On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can lose jobs．Business can also lose money．It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，first-class roads，and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions．For example，a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build．If the room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel lose money．
