We all need to quiet down!"The rising noise pollution in cities will become a top environmental threat,"the United Nations(UN)said in a report on Feb.17.It asks governments to take action as soon as possible.
What is noise pollution?
According to the UN,unwanted noise above 65 decibels(dB,分貝)is noise pollution.Noise becomes harmful when it's over 75 dB and is painful above 120 dB.People who live near airports or highways get lots of noise pollution.When neighbors remodel(裝修)their homes or stomp(跺腳)around above you,that's also noise pollution.
Why is noise pollution bad?
"High levels of noise do harm to human health,"the UN report says.According to Science magazine,too much noise causes health problems like stress and tiredness from poor sleep.More serious problems include heart disease and hearing loss.In Europe,12,000 people die each year from effects of noise pollution,according to CGTN.
How can we fix the problem?
The European Commission says cities can fight noise pollution.One great way is to build barriers along railroads and highways.Some European countries have also built roads of rubber.It's the same rubber as your school's running track.It makes cars quieter.How can you and I help?We can stop stomping around our houses!

1.Passage A
Many of us have read stories or seen films about space-creatures.They come to Earth in spaceships that look like flying saucer(飛碟).These space-creatures do not look like human beings at all,but they are usually very intelligent(聰明).In one film,they were tiny little men with large heads.When they landed on Earth,they knew exactly what to do.They went straight to the President's palace and made him their prisoner!
The stories about space-creatures are,of course,not true.Space-Creatures exist only in story-books and in films,just like giants(巨人) and fairies.
