Read the passage and answer the questions from 61 to 64.
In the twentieth century, architects in large cities designed structures in a way that reduced noise and yet
made living as comfortable as possible. They used such techniques as making walls hollow and filling
this wall space with materials that absorb noise. Thick carpets and heavy curtains were used to cover
floors and windows. Air conditioners and furnaces were designed to filter air through sound proofing
materials. However, after much time and effort had been spent in making building less noisy, it was
discovered that people also reacted adversely to the lack of sound. Now, architects are designing
structures that reduce undesirable noise, but retain the kind of noise that people seem to need.
