　　　　 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(抗议) 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 Jeans Lacey, a biology student, "why don't they build a new road that goes　 8　 the town? Burlington isn't much more than a　 9　 village. Its streets were never　 10　 for heavy traffic."

　　　 Harry Fields also studying　 11　 said they wanted to make as much　 12　 as possible to force the　

13　 to realise what everybody was having to　 14 . "Most of them don't 　15　 here anyway," he said, "they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof (隔音), 16　 they probably don't　 17　 the noise all that much. It's high time they realised the　 18　　 ."

　　　 The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were　 19　 on their side, and even if they weren't they soon would be.

　　　　　 20　 asked if they were　 21　 that the police might come to　 22　 them.

　　　　 "Not really.'' she said, "actually we are　 23　 bell-ringers. I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. There is no　 24　 against practising. "

　　　　 I　 25　 the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
