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 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 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 3000 officers．Most of the men worked on foot，but a few rode horses．Until 1920 all the police in London were men． Today，the 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．

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight．” “Two full inches in the first three days!” These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads， promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device．The promoters of products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other ways to add to beauty or desirability． Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters．The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health． To understand how these products call be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation．If the product is a drug，FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof(证明)under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market．But if the product is a device，FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness．If a product already on the market is a danger to health，FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seizure(查封)of the product． One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline．The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads．FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life． Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually．-Before buying，it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items．

From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age．We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases．A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery．It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases．The expectation of life has increased enormously．But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before，every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men，women and chi ldren on the roads．Man versus the motor car!It is a never-ending battle which man is losing．Thousands of people over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen． It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel，his car becomes the extension of his personality．There is no doubt that the motor car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities．People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering—wheel．They swear，they are ill—mannered and aggressive，willful as two-year- old and utterly selfish．All their hidden frustrations，disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving． The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour．Everything is done for his conve．nience．Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic；towns are made ugly by huge car parks；the countryside is desecrated by road networks；and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic，to be conveniently forgotten． It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life．With regard to driving，the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough．A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate．Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done．The driving test should be standardized and made far mo re difficult than it is：all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so；the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21；all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety．Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood call impair a person’s driving ability．Present drinking and driving laws(where they exist)should be mad much stricter．Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads．Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers，as has been done in the USA All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned．These measures may sound inordinat ely harsh．But surely nothing should be considered as severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life．After all，the world is for human beings，not motor cars．
