    Barbara couldn't stand it anymore. Her upstairs neighbor was blasting(大声播放) his stereo(立体音响设备) again. She had asked him twice already to turn the volume down. The first time she asked, he was surprised. He said he didn't know that she could hear his stereo. "Yes." she said, "it's just like your stereo was in my living room. I can hear every note!"
    He said he would keep it down. She hoped that he was telling the truth. Of course, he wasn't. The next day, he blasted his stereo. She went upstairs to remind(提醒) him of his promise. He said the volume was so low that he could hardly hear it. She asked him to turn it lower .He said he would try. When she went back to her room, the music was louder when she had walked upstairs.
    So, this was the third time. She took her baseball bat upstairs with her. She knocked very loudly on his door. When he opened the door, she screamed (尖叫) at him like a crazy person. She told him she would kill him if he didn't turn the music down and keep it down. His eyes got big.
    She went back downstairs. She couldn't hear a note.
