Sam much homework every evening.
I finished my cooking course(课程) at the age of 21. I thought I was going to become a world-famous cook. I hoped people would travel from all over the world just to get a taste of my food. But three months later, I knew I was wrong. Since(既然) nobody was travelling to taste my food, I decided I should travel to taste theirs.
During my travel, I visited many different countries, such as Japan and France, where different kinds of food opened my eyes. I liked the travelling in Italy and China most.
When in Italy, I learned how to make pizza and salads. We had long lazy lunches in the sun and evening meals where the conversations went on long into the night.
In China, I loved the hot Sichuan food and enjoyed the delicious Beijing snacks. I also found the joy of making dumplings with good friends.
My year of travel came to an end too quickly, but I had decided what I should do for the rest(剩余的) of my life. I want to bring the wonderful food of the world into my kitchen in New York.

A middle school organized a "No TV Week" programme. All the teachers, p and students worked together for this programme and most of them found it to be a very g one. The headmaster said, "The idea was not to s watching TV completely but for the students just to find how much time they watch TV and try to use the t for other things.
What did the students say about this "No TV Week"? One boy said, "I can't believe, I haven't watched TV for a week, but it's been fun doing it." A girl student said, "I'm going to give up all TV programmes except for Our Animal World' and other language teaching p. I'm really pleased that I have more time to do things like walking and thinking. I e this ‘No TV Week very much." But not all the students thought it was good. Here one student Tom said something d, "I don't like 'No TV Week because I like watching TV. I have lots of favourite programmes and I don't want to miss them. But we have to do it."

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.
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. So 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 were 120" Bow Street Runners" ,but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So, in 1829, the first Metropolitan Police Force (警察部队) 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 that for the others.
