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    36   and have made up their minds to ring the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗議)against heavy trucks(卡車) which run    37   through the narrow High Street.
“They not only make it    38   to sleep at night, but they are    39   damage to our houses and shops of historical interest,” said John Norris, one of the protesters.
   40   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    41   the town?Burlington isn’t much more than a    42   village.Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic.”
Harry Fields also studying    43   said they wanted to make as much    44   as possible to force the    45   to realise what everybody was having to    46  .“Most of them don’t    47   here anyway,” he said,“they come in for meetings and that,and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音),    48   they Probably don’t    49   the noise all that much.It’s high time they realised the    50  .”
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.
   51   asked if they were afraid that the police might come to    52   them.
“Not really,” she said,“actually we are    53   bell-ringers.I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church.There is no    54   against practising.”
I    55   the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
