Tanya Ferguson lives in Sydney. On September 23, she

woke up to a strong wind blowing through her window. She

then saw that the room was completely orange.

“I could not believe my eyes,” she told BBC news.

She thought there was a bush fire. But when she went

outside, the whole city was covered in a film of orange dust.

“It was like being in the outback (内陆), but it was

right here in the city,” she said.

On that day, a big dust storm swept through Sydney. It covered the city in orange dust for about eight hours, and people can’t see landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge.

The storm influenced the transportation system. Flights were put off. Roads were

busy in the difficult conditions. Children and the elderly were told to stay indoors until the dust had cleared. Later strong winds blew it out to sea and up the coast. No one was hurt in the storm, though health officials and emergency services answered hundreds of calls from people with breathing(呼吸)difficulties.

Dust storms are common in the Australian outback, where the land is poor. But the storms hardly reach the coastal areas. Officials said it was the worst dust storm of the past 70 years. Experts said that dry conditions in the outback and strong winds caused the sandstorm.

“Ten very dry years over inland southern Australia and very strong winds have co-operated to produce the storm,” said Nigel Tapper, an environmental scientist at Monash University, Australia.

"And because I know you are all able to understand this material, I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test."

A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the remaining (余下的) students and said, "Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance. "Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences which were typed on the paper: Congratulations!

I really feel worried about you. You used to do well in your lessons and took an active part in the activities at school. But now you are so crazy about computer games that you have no interest in your schoolwork and don't listen to teachers as carefully as before in class. Also, you can't hand in your homework on time.

Perhaps playing computer games can make you feel relaxed, but if you spend too much time on it, you will have less time to study. And it may do harm to your health. For example, it can hurt your eyes and neck.

I hope you should achieve a balance between your schoolwork and your hobbies. Why not join in some outdoor activities when you feel bored? As your friend, I’ll be glad to share your happiness and sadness. Best wishes. Li Hua

(2010·浙江台州期末质量评估)

Tanya Ferguson lives in Sydney. On September 23, she woke up to a big gust of wind blowing through her window. She then saw that the room was completely orange.

“I could not believe my eyes，” she told BBC news. She thought there was a bush fire. But when she went outside, the entire city was covered in a film of orange dust.

“It was like being in the outback(内陆), but it was right here in the city，” she said. On that day, a big dust storm swept through Sydney. It covered the city in orange dust for about eight hours, making landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge invisible.

The storm affected the transportation system. Flights were delayed. Roads were busy as drivers struggled in the difficult conditions. Children and the elderly were told to stay indoors until the dust had cleared. Later strong winds blew it out to sea and up the coast.

No one was hurt in the storm, though health officials answered hundreds of calls from people with breathing difficulties. Emergency services responded to hundreds of calls about tree branches brought down by strong winds.

Dust storms are common in the Australian outback, where the land is poor. But the storms rarely reach the coastal regions.

Officials said it was the worst dust storm of the past 70 years. Air pollution levels were 15,500 micrograms of pollutants per cubic meter.

“On a clear day the pollutants are around 10-20 micrograms per cubic meter，” said Chris Eiser of the NSW department of the environment.

Experts said that dry conditions in the outback and strong winds caused the sandstorm. “Ten very dry years over inland southern Australia and very strong winds have cooperated to produce the storm，” said Nigel Tapper, an environmental scientist at Monash University, Australia.
