People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to    15   the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest（抗议） against heavy trucks which run    16   through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it    17   to sleep at night, but they are doing damage（损害） to our houses and shops of historical   18  ,”
said John Norris, one of the protesters.
“ 19  we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a  20    village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.
　　Harry Fields also studying    21    said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof（隔音的）, so they probably don’t    22   . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
　　I asked if they were    23    that the police might come to stop them.
　　“Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no    24    against practising.”
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

　　1.All books must be read from page one to the last page.

　　2.The parent or the teacher will initial (write the first letter of one's name) the booklist after a student has finished reading a book. Teachers will initial the booklist only for the books read at school, and books read outside school must be initialed by the parent. And it is the duty of the parent to write the number of pages of each of the books that have been read by the child on the booklist.

　　3.All books read must be of the student's reading level or above. For example, a third grade student should not read first grade books if he or she is able to read at a third grade or higher reading level.

　　5.When a student has finished a club booklist—one sheet(一份）of 25 books or 1,500 pages，he or she should bring the sheet to the office. The child will get a small reward(奖励） and may get another piece of booklist to go on reading. It takes four booklist sheets for 100 books or for 1,500 pages to reach 6,000 pages. Either way — You are a winner!
