Lesson 21
Mad or not
LESSON 21
Listening-听力
Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad.I live near
an airport and passing planes can be heard night and
day.The airport was built years ago,but for some
reason it could not be used then.Last year,however,
it came into use.Over a hundred people must have
been driven away from their homes by the noise.I
am one of the few people left.Sometimes I think
this house will be knocked down by a passing plane.
I have been offered a large sum of money to go
away,but I am determined to stay here.Everybody
says I must be mad and they are probably right.
