I was walking one night across a square of Copenhagen,Denmark,when I was suddenly 41____ by a small crowd by the town hall.Two police officers,a man and a woman,were walking softly and with 42____to a boy of about seventeen.Obviously drunk,he had
43____his head;blood ran above his hairline to his cheek.
This was probably the 44____thing the two police officers would have to 45____all evening.The Danes are a law-abiding(守法的)people.The most 46____crime in this country is bicycle theft besides murders.There were six murders in Copenhagen the year before,
47____ 1,688 in New York.The city is so 48____that Queen Magarethe used to visit flower shops Just like an ordinary
49____.I once talked to a Dane who had guarded her in such50____When asked whether he 51____her safety,he looked at me surprised and replied,“Why,we all love her,”52____was quite sweet.
As the police officers led the boy to their ear with great care,I found myself 53____them involuntarily.I don't know why I was so interested,except that I had never seen such 54____police.I said to the woman officer,“Excuse me,what will you do with the boy?”
“We'll take him home,”she said 55____.I was 56____.I couldn't help thinking of the time I was stopped by police in New York.and 57____to stand against a wall and frisked(搜身)because of all unpaid ticket.I was about seventeen at the time.
“Will he be in 58____ for this?”I asked
“With his father,most probably.But not with us.We are all a little 59____ sometimes,you know.Goodnight.Enjoy your stay here.”
“Goodnight,”I said and with the deepest 60____ watched them go.
