several times to either stop the piano playing or soundproof (隔音) the room. the family told the court they carried out soundproofing work twice but the complaints continued.the court hasnt made a final decision. a spokeswoman says the trial will end before may.语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了一位西班牙女士因不能容忍邻居练习钢琴的噪声而把对方告上法庭的案件。1bosom wants to send martin to prison because _.amartins playing the piano damaged

the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.the waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. when she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, i started wondering: was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? if so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? she handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.it was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. i realized that its not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.its not the traffic
