Everyone tries to get to school on time. But when bad weather gives you trouble, can you still make it before the bell rings?
In northern China during spring, big sandstorms often make trouble for students and everyone else. When the sky is dark with sand, buses and cars all move much more slowly. Sometimes, people can't even see for 20 meters.
Sandstorms usually happen in spring. This year, sandstorms started in late March. They have happened in more than 10 provinces in northern China this year. More than 70 million people had problems in those places because of the sandstorms.
People in southern China don't have to worry about this kind of bad weather. Most of the sand comes from Gansu and Inner Mongolia. In northern China, lots of places have few trees and don't get much rain. People there have been cutting down too many trees. When there
aren't many trees, the ground can't keep enough water. Over the years, the ground dries up and turns to sand. When spring comes and the ice melts, the ground becomes looser. Strong winds take the loose sand into the sky.
Sandstorms are bad for people's health. If people breathe too much sand, they could cough or have asthma.
Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems. Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storm sand never get back home. The winds also tear down farmers' houses.
What can you do to stop sandstorms? Here's an idea: Ask your parents to help you plant some trees this spring.
If you see people cutting down too many trees, tell them about the dangers of sandstorms, and ask your government to stop them from cutting.
（1）In which season do sandstorms usually happen?
A In spring.
B In summer.
C In autumn.
D In winter.
（2）Which of the following provinces in China is often hit by sandstorms?
A Fujian Province.
B Yunnan Province.
C Jiangsu Province
D Gansu Province.
（3）The underlined phrase "tear down" in the sentence means "________".

B 弄倒
C 摧残
D 加固

B Traffic problems.
C The loss of farm animals.
D Noise pollution.

19. 阅读短文，根据其内容补全下面表格，每空不超过两个词。

You are in a full-time school called "life". Each day in this school, you will have the chance to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but they are part of your life.
Each lesson has a different path. As you travel along your life path, you will be faced with many lessons that you will need to learn in order to realize your goal（目标）. As you travel through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others don't have to face while others spend years fighting with the challenges that you don't need to deal with. You can't be sure why you work hard for money while your friends enjoy much. Well, you must remember that you will be faced with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn whether you choose to learn them or not.
Remember, don't compare your path with that of the people around you and focus on
the difference between their lessons and yours. Life is not fair. And you may have a lot more difficult path than others around you. And the only thing that you can do is to accept it and make it better.
