　　(2024·東北三校二模)To most people，noise pollution is a jet flying over their head.For one Spanish woman，it is a neighbor playing the piano.The woman has taken her neighbor to court.Now she wants to send her neighbor to prison for over seven years on the charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.

　　In a country known for its noisiness，the case has raised eyebrows.Neighbors often complain about street noise in Spain，but people seeking prison time for someone practicing the piano is unheard of.At the trial，Sonia Bosom says she has been suffering noise pollution up to now due to the practice sessions of Laia Martin，who lives below her.Martin，27，didn’t admit that she played at home that often，saying she took regular classes in other towns and mostly practiced at home on the weekends.

　　On the first day of the trial，the newspaper reported that Bosom told the court she now hated pianos so much that she couldn’t even stand seeing them in a film.

　　Bosom says years of hearing constant playing has caused her “psychological injury”．Medical reports show she has suffered from a variety of problems，including insomnia(失眠)，anxiety，and panic attacks.

　　She says tests by local authorities have found that the sound levels made by the piano are up to 10 decibels(分貝) higher than the limit.City authorities have asked the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof(隔音) the room.The family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.

　　The court hasn’t made a final decision.A spokeswoman says the trial will end before May.

　　(2024·貴陽高三適應性監測一)As the November cold begins to take control in the UK，Bonfire Night (or Guy Fawkes Night) is a chance to wrap up in winter clothes and warm up by the fire.

　　Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”，a dish made from slow-cooked beef mince，tomatoes，kidney beans，onions，and spices.It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese.It’s not the most elegant dish in the world but it’s sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.

　　But for many Britons，the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee(太妃糖)”，which is also known as “plot toffee”，named after Guy Fawkes’ plot to blow up parliament.The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.
