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.

　　 Harry Fields also studying   10   said they wanted to make as much   11   possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to   12   . “Most of them don't   13   here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof, so they probably don't   14  . It's high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Lisa Vernum, said she thought the public were  15   on their side, and even if they weren't they soon would be.

　　 I asked if they were   16   that the police might come to   17   them.

　　 “Not really,” she said, “actually we are   18   bell ringers. I mean we are assistant bell ringers for the church. There is no    19   against practicing.”

　　 I    20   the church, with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
