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 Jean 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 realize 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 realized 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 practicing.”I 25 the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

"I’ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back." Lucien Lawence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all mother said was, "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children.” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者),and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet "Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog." Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomor-row. We live on, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
