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(抗议)against heavy trucks(卡车) 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.

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.
