One day, I found a little bag. We used it on the ship to keep the chickens' food in. There was still some of the food in the bag, and I dropped some of it onto the ground.

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 is harmful to our health, too.

Many of the workers who print newspapers and weave cloth(织布) become deaf. Plenty of people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year- old persons, because these young people like to listen to pop -music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise which is produced by jet planes or machines will make people's life difficult and unpleasant. It can make people ill or even drive them mad.
It is said that a continuous noise of more than 85 decibels(分贝)can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.
