Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Noise pollution is when there's too much loud noise around us. It's a problem in big cities and sometimes in quieter places too. This noise comes from many places, like cars, trucks, building work, and loud music.
This kind of pollution isn't good for us. It can make us feel stressed, cause problems with sleeping, and hurt our ears. When it's too noisy, kids might find it hard to pay attention to their homework.
To reduce noise pollution, cities can make regulations about noise. For example, city authorities can say no to building work at night in places where people live. There are some other ways for people to reduce noise pollution. Firstly, keep music and TV volume down, especially late at night. Secondly, wearing headphones is a smart way to listen to music without bothering others.
Remember, noise pollution is a problem! It affects badly our health. If we all follow the guidelines and think about others, we can make our places quieter and nicer for everyone.
