Captain John Bunch loves to go fishing. In fact, Bunch loves fishing so much that
he became a professional fishing guide decades ago and has remained one ever since.
There is something, however, that Bunch loves even more. That is his country and the
men and women who join the army to protect it. Ever since Bunch met a young soldier
in 2005, who wanted to go on a fishing trip before he left the army, the Florida native
has offered over 1 200 fishing trips to veterans(退伍军人), with all expenses paid.
And Bunch’s efforts to give back to those who have served their nation go even
much further. Inspired by that fishing trip 11 years ago, he founded Operation Open
Arms, which has since helped nearly 3 400 US troops and given out more than $12 million
in direct benefits with his charity. Operation Open Arms also provides free weddings,
vacations, and more leisurely activities to veterans, and can rely on a network of
over 300 businesses and individual partners to get former soldiers anything they might
need upon returning home from army.
The former marine’s heartwarming generosity is a result of his own experiences
in the military and the pride he has for his country. "I do this because I love my
country and I do this because America is the greatest country in the world," he told
NBC’s Today Show. Bunch’s unwavering commitment goes so far that he once turned down
an invitation from then-President George W. Bush, because he had already scheduled
a fishing trip with one of his veterans. Even the military has recognized Bunch’s
work of love, and earlier this year honored him and his organization with the
Outstanding Civilian Service Award and the Army’s most prestigious civilian award.

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

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(分贝) higher than the limit.City authorities have asked
the family several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof(隔音) the
