　　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.

Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare； there are weddings on mountain-tops with guests barefooted； and there have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs.

　　Before a couple is married，they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready，then comes the most exciting moment.

　　The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The wedding party enters the church while the wedding march is played. The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father who will "give her away". The groom enters the church from a side door. When the wedding party is gathered by the altar， the bride and groom exchange vows. It is traditional to use the words "To have and to hold from this day forward， for better， for worse， for richer， for poorer， in sickness and in health， to love and to cherish， till death do us part". Following the vows， the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.

　　After the ceremony there is often a party, called a "reception" which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the newlyweds.

The car in which the couple leaves the church is decorated with balloons, streamers and shaving cream. The words "Just Married" are painted on the trunk or back window. The bride and groom run to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests. When the couple drives away from the church， friends often chase them in cars， honking and drawing attention to them. And then the couple go on their honeymoon.
