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.

　　Maybe many people don't think how we can make our roads safer. Every year several thousand people are killed on the roads in Great Britain. Every year between one and two hundred thousand people are injured. These people are killed or injured in the road accidents.

　　Many people are careless when they are in the roads. Most of them don't always obey（遵守）the rules though the rules can make the roads safe. If everyone obeys the rules, the roads will be much safer.

　　Different countries have different rules. So it is important to remember the rules. In many countries traffic keeps to the right. But in Great Britain traffic keeps to the left. Cars and buses and bikes in the country must keep to the left side of the roads. So before you cross the road in Great Britain, you should stop and look right first, then look left, look right again. If you are sure the road is clear, you can cross the road. If there are children or very old people on the road, you should stop and wait to cross the road. Not only should we obey the rules, but also we should teach our children to obey the rules. Thus（这样）we can make the roads much safer.
