A man was sitting in the park watching the ducks on the pond， when a woman came near him．She had a white dog with her．
She sat down on a chair， took out of a magazine and began to read．
The dog was sitting between her and the man．
After it had been sitting quietly for about ten minutes， the dog turned and looked up at the man．
" Excuse me，" the dog whispered（低语），" but you look like a kind man． Please buy me from this awful woman．"
The man could hardly believe his ears． A dog was whispering to him， in English．
" She is so meanto me，" the dog continued． "She never pets me or plays with me． She doesn't feed me properly and she often beats me when she is unhappy， which is most of the time．"
The man was amazed to hear the dog say all this．He was even more surprised when the dog added， "And I am really a very good dog． I'm quite famous， too． I won a medal in the last war and was twice wounded in action． I've saved three children﹣two from drowning and one from a fire．"
The man decided that he would try to buy the dog from the woman． He would pay a lot of money if necessary． The dog would soon earn tens of thousands of dollars on television． It would be the world's first talking dog．
" Excuse me，" he said to the woman，" but I love your little dog． Will you sell him to me？"
"I'll be pleased to sell him， " the woman said． " You can have him for ten dollars．
" Ten dollars!" the man said． " Only ten dollars？ Why so little？ "
" Because，" the woman said， " he' s a trouble﹣ making liar（说谎者）．"

Do you think there is too much noise in our city? If you live near an airport，you will be unhappy because of a plane often make a loud noise．The sound of planes or heavy vehicles is likely to cause deafness if heard continuously（不断地）．
However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They like to enjoy music when they are doing uninteresting jobs．It is a new danger because pop music，when played through powerful amplifiers（放大器），can reach 120 decibels（120分贝的）at a distance of five feet．A continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness．It was discovered that many young people in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people．
In the past we used to think that only workers in very noisy places would become deaf．For example，when newspapers and books are being printed，the noise level is over 85 decibels，and some of the workers become deaf．Today，however，scientists believe that 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise．
Sometimes noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and stressed．We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant．It can do great harm to people's health and prevent people from working well．Workers in noisy offices are not as efficient（效率高的）as those in quiet offices．Noise makes people less efficient．Can anything be done to reduce or control noise?
In Britain the government has made several laws to reduce noise．Though the government has spent a lot of money in making airports and main roads quieter，many people think that there are still not enough laws．For example，there are no laws to control the noise of machines．In Japan，America and Norway there are such laws．As a result，workers can be given compensation（赔偿）if they become deaf．Some workers become deaf because of ________．
| A．hard work | B．a continuous noise of over 85 decibels |
| C．powerful amplifiers | D．uninteresting jobs |
In Britain there are laws to ________．
| A．stop workers from becoming deaf | B．control the noise of machines |
