阅读理解一 Goingfor a walk, whether in towns orin the country, is just not apart of the American idea. An English journalist who just walking along theroad in Los Angeles was questioned by the police because it seemed so strangethat he should be doing this. Exceptin town cen­ters it is rare to find any sidewalk beside a road and somesuburban roads are so bad that cars have to travel very slowly, too slowly to be dangerous tochildren. A person whotries to walk at night may find not only that he is almost hurting his feet onthe uneven surface, but also that there are no street lights (the headlights ofcars being good enough for the motor­ists) and that he will be pursued by angrydogs from the houses among which he is passing.
