     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.
