英语以“Learn to smile”为题写一篇短文，参加比赛。

　　In today's world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people's health. However, not all the people know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that it is harmful to our health, too.

　　People who work and live under noisy conditions（状况） usually have poorer hearing. Many of the workers who print（印刷） newspapers and books, and who weave cloth（织布） become deaf（耳聋）. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently（近来） it was discovered that many young people in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people, for these young people like to listen to "pop" music and most of "pop" music is a kind of noise. Besides （除此之外）, noise produced（产生） by jet planes（喷气式飞机） or machines will make people's life difficult and unpleasant（不愉快的）, or even make people ill, or even drive them mad（发疯）.

　　In China, the people's government is trying to solve（解决） not only the problems of air and water pollution but also the problem of noise pollution.
