9、sy city. In fact, scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72.5 decibels. This is a little louder than normal conversation, which is 65 decibels. The noise level comes from having so many people and cars in the same area.Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When
10、 you get into a taxi, you hear the voice of a well-known opera singer, sports announcer, or Broadway actress giving instructions. Thats right. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do.

11、elt!” Other voices say things such as “Dont forget to collect all your belongings.” (People often leave hats, umbrellas, and briefcases in taxis.)There is a good reason for the messages.

14、 he cant.”Other people think the voices are a great idea.

Several people complained of “cat-like noises” at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up 48 tree.
52、 The experts were now 49 (full) convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape.
