IV 阅读理解
On the streets of Copenhagen you can hardly see any policemen except
those going around. Pedestrians, bikes and vehicles take their own way.
At the red light, all vehicles stop and people on foot wait until the
light changes. No one jaywalks (乱穿马路) there.
On those narrow paths with no traffic lights people would stop to give
way to a coming car. Strangely, the drivers always signal for the pedestrians
to go first, either at busy, noisy downtown or quite suburban paths no
policeman is seen directing the traffic.
Even at the gate of the City Government Hall, no policemen are there
guarding. Anyone can enter in office hours. It is not until the Danish
Queen comes to attend a big party that you can see three or four black-uniformed
policemen keeping the order.
