There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book   36   hand. Of course, we may   37   with our guide-books the history and   38   developments of a town and get to know them.   39   then, if we take out time and   40   in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we   41   it as a whole, we begin to have some   42   ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just   43   this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets   44    in this particular way, and not in any   45   why?

   Here even the best guide-book   46   us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the   47   appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的)   48   of a town. However, one may get some idea of what I   49   look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine   50   the town was first planned and build. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town   51   to develop.

   What is the   52   of studying towns in the way? For me, it is   53   that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A   54   visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive   55   just reading about it in a guide-book.
