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 __26 and have made up their minds to __27 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议) against heavy trucks which run __28 through the narrow High Street. “They not only make it __29 to sleep at night, but they are __30 damage to our houses and shops of historical __31 ,”said John Norris, one of the protesters. “__32 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 __33 the town? Burlington isn't much more than a __34 village. Its streets were never __35 for heavy traffic.” Harry Fields also studying __36 said they wanted to make as much __37 as possible to force the __38 to realise what everybody was having to __39 .“ Most of them don't __40 here anyway,” he said,“they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音), _ 41 they probably don't __42 the noise all that much. It's high time they realised the _43 .” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were __44 on their side, and even if they weren't they soon would be. __45 asked if they were __46 that the police might come to __47 them. “Not really,” she said,“actually we are __48 bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no __49 against practising.” I __50 the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears. 26.
