There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 26 hand. Of course, we may 27 with our guide-books the history and 28 developments of a town and get to know them.
29 then, if we take our time and 30 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 31 it as a whole, we begin to have some 32 , which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 33 this —— this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 34 in this particular way, and not in any 35 way?
Here even the best guide-book 36 us. One can’t find the information in it about how a town has developed to the 37 appearance. It may not describe the original 38 of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it 39 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 40 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 41 to develop.
What is the 42 of studying towns in this way？For me, it is 43 a matter that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 44 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 45 just reading about it in a guide-book.

In every British town，large and small，you will find shops that sell secondhand
goods．Sometimes sueh shops deal mostly in furniture，sometimes in books，some—
times in ornaments and household goods，sometimes even in clothes．
The furniture may often be“antique"， and it may well have changed hands
many times．It may also be very valuable，although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salesroom，where one piece might well be so1d for hundreds of thousands of pounds．As you 1ook around these shops and。See the polished wood of chests and tables，yon cannot help thinking of those 1ong dead hands which polished
that wood，of those now—closed eyes which once 1ooked at these pieces with lore．
The books，too，may be antique and very precious；some may be rare first
printings．Often when someone dies or has to move house，his books may all be
sold，so that sometimes yon may find who01e libraries in one shop． On the border between England and Wales，there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as
well．Eyen the cinema and castle have been taken over，and now books have replaced
sheep as the town’s main trade．
There are also much more humble shops,sometimes simply called “junk shops”，where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply．Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity． Eyen these pieces，though，can make you feel sad；you think of those people who once treasured them，but who have moved on，to another country or to death．
Although the British do not worship their ancestors，they do treasure the past
and the things of the past． This is true of houses as well． These days no one knocks them down.They are restored until they are often better than new．In Britain．
People do not buy something just because it is new．old things are treasured for
proven worth；new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted．
