Years ago， I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there， whom I had never met， yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon， sewing or reading.

After several months， I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself， “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat， including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning， I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise！ Across the way， the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible （清晰可见的）. Her window was clean！

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing （批评） her dirty window， but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart， through my own shortcomings？

Stop and listen！ What do you hear？ You may hear many different sounds. Some of those sounds may be noise. Noise is a loud or unwanted sound.

Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines， such as motorcycles， jet planes， farm tractors， and power motors. And， to some people， rock music is also noise.

What happens to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time？ Doctors have found that these people have trouble in sleeping. And most importantly， constant （连续的） loud noise can cause loss of hearing.

Scientists use a unit of measure （量度） called a decibel （分贝） to measure the loudness of a sound. The sound of a quiet room， for example， measures 35 decibels. Talking measures between 40 and 65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands measure over 120 decibels. Noise at such high level causes the greatest hearing loss.

1. Noise is some sounds that you can hear.

2. Not all people think that rock music is a noise.

3. Loud noise can help people sleep better.
