III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question (10 pts).
Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of
pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is
highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating,
whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban
areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and
psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.
Unlike the eye, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is,
therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection.
Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never become accustomed.
Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human
beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and
muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline
released in response to fear, ands some of these responses persist even longer than the noise,
occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.
 Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding the same
way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our
response may be much more than annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological
health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach.
We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we
are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. Fetuses
exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal
problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability,
tension and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities
during walking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other.
