Have you ever done something foolish and it made you feel so embarrassed（尴尬的）?
Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn．I went to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home from the shop，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella．It was raining so heavily that I had to stay in the phone box until it stopped．
A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended（假装） I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn’t. He just waited in the pouring rain，and I acted as if I was deep in conversation.
Luckily，the rain stopped after about ten minutes．“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later. Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box. “I’m sorry I took so long.” I said to the man．
“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone,” he answered, smiling．“I’ve just come to repair it. There is something wrong with it, you see .” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes and farm tractors(拖拉机). Rock music is also noise.

Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands can measure over 120 decibels. Noise at this high level(层次) causes the great hearing loss.
