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 church and have made up their minds to    15   the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议) against heavy trucks which run    16   through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it    17   to sleep at night, but they are doing damage(损害) to our houses and shops of historical   18  ,”
said John Norris, one of the protesters.

  Harry Fields also studying    21    said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音的), so they probably don’t    22   . It’s high time they realized the problem.” 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.
  I asked if they were    23    that the police might come to stop them.
  “Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no    24    against practising.”
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

  We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers.Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at the traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.It stood outside a furniture (家具)shop.“Buy it,” she said at once.“We'll carry it home on the roof-rack (车顶架).I've always wanted one like that.”

  What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied onto the roof rack.It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.

  As it was getting darker, I drove slowly.Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening.The police even stopped traffic to let us through.Carrying furniture was a good idea.

  After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars behind.Why don't they overtake(超车)?”

  Just at that time a police car did overtake.The two officers (警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past.But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic.The police car stopped at our Village church (教堂).One of the officers came to me.

  “Right, sir,” he said.“Do you need any more help now?”

  I didn't quite understand.“Thanks, officer.” I said.“You've been very kind.I live just down the road.”

  He was looking at our things:First at the flow-ers, then at the bookshelf.“Well, well,” he said and laughed.“It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was-er, something else.”
