Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is another environmental pollutant Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a 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, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including
Trang 44to 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

III Read the passage and answer the following questions (1.5pts)
There are many sources of pollution in our modern world At present, the most serious sources are acid rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills
Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide These gases combine with the moisture in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid When it rains, these acids dissolve in the rain and make it acidic Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution problem of all It has harmed aquatic life by turning limestone in the rocks
to neutralize the acid rain naturally One remedy is to pump limestone into the acidic lakes However, It is not possible to do this on a large enough scale to save all the lakes
Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are highly poisonous In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human beings Pollution of the sea by oil threatens marine life Much of the oil comes from ships that clean their fuel tanks while at sea Offshore oil wells also discharge vast amounts of oil into the sea
Pollution of the sea can also be caused by oil spills An oil spill may occur as a result
of accidents involving oil tankers
