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   1   and have made up their minds to   2   the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run   3   through the narrow High Street. “They not only make it   4   to sleep at night, but they are  5   damage to our houses and shops of historical   6   ,” said John Norris, one of the protesters.

　　 “   7   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   8   village. Its streets were never   9   for heavy traffic.
