Experiments have proved that in noisy situation

33、s (even temporary ones), people may act more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severeanxiety as well as other psychological problems. However, psychologists distinguish between sound and noise. Sound is measured p

34、hysically in decibels. Noise cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of intensity depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear airplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not muc

35、h noise (that is, they are not bothered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering, you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically. Both sound and noise can have negative

36、 effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones, listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds which they control. On the other hand, people in t

37、he street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.46.

People enjoy liste ning to music,A) though

40、 they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound in factB) because it does not have any n egative effectC) because they do not have to tolerate the no ise around themD) even though it is sometimes unpleasant hearing strange sounds50. We can con clude from the passage that we n eed to con trol no ise p
