　　章节摘录

　　4　　In today’s world，almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people’s health．However，not all the students know that noise is also a kind of pollution，and that is harmful to human health，too．　　People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf．Today，however， scientists believe that 1 0 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work．Many of the workers who print newspapers and books，and who weave cloth become deaf．Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf．Recently it was discovered that many teenagers 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，noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant，Or even make people ill or even drive them mad．It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness．　　Nowadays the governments in many countries have made laws o reduce or control noise and make it less than 85 decibels．In China，the people’s government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problem．
