Read the following passage and then mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Commonly defined as unwanted sound, noise is a widely recognized form of pollution. It is not easy to
measure because the experienced discomfort 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, a nonfatal health problem. Particularly, the noise produced as a byproduct in congested urban areas
causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.
Unlike the eyes covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ears have no lids, and are, therefore, always
open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Deafening noise causes effects that the hearer cannot
control and to which the body hardly gets 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 which is released to respond to the fear. Since noise is unavoidable in complex and
industrial societies, we are constantly responding in the same way that we would react against danger more than
annoyance. It is time to solve this serious problem.
