As most people know in the past few years, sandstorms【小题1】(sweep) across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and troubling daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of 【小题2】(illness), such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is 【小题3】a serious problem that it has not only done harm to the industrial and agricultural 【小题4】(develop) of our country but also caused a lot of trouble 【小题5】the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that some measures should be taken to prevent them from breaking out so often.

So what should we do with the 【小题6】(frighten) sandstorms? Some experts have come up with some practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more money ought to 【小题7】(put)into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection. The citizens should be taught to lead 【小题8】green life. Scientists should study and find more ways 【小题9】(improve) the whole environment.

How people look forward to sunny days with little wind touching their faces now and forever! I am 【小题10】(full) confident that the golden days can come back as long as everyone tries his best to protect natural environment from now on.

Since mid-July, a large part of Henan province has seen many heavy rains, during【小题1】time the rainfall over a few days in Henan exceeds (超过) that of a typical year, according to local officials. It was the first time that we【小题2】(suffer) such heavy rains in several days. Last month, more than 9.3 million people in Henan 【小题3】(report) to have been affected by floods, with over hundreds of people【小题4】(lose) their lives. The government said that by 29th July, huge funds had been raised by countless organizations and individuals 【小题5】(voluntary). Lots of netizens released videos of support and【小题6】 (encourage) to people affected by the heavy rains, inspiring them to be more active in responding to frequent extreme weather changes.

We are reminded how fragile we human beings are when faced【小题7】natural disasters. Despite 【小题8】(hit) by heavy rains, we firmly believe that our government will pay【小题9】 it takes to save her people. As【小题10】matter of fact, rainstorm has no sympathy, but people have love.

A desert doesn’t sound like the most promising place to plant a tree. Yet, since 1978, China【小题1】 (plant) at least 66 billion of them across its desert northern territories, hoping to transform its sandy dry land and yellow dunes 【小题2】 a Great Green Wall.

Ian Teh 【小题3】(record) this amazing undertaking while traveling through northern China last year. His expansive photographs show workers tending young trees, blasting them with water and 【小题4】(fill) irrigation tanks. “Planting trees sounds great on paper, 【小题5】 you can feel doubtful,” Teh says. “But when seeing in person, it was impressive.”

The tree-planting strategy is a massive attempt to help fight desertification. 【小题6】 (rough) a million square miles of China—a quarter of the country—【小题7】(cover) in sand. Drought, deforestation, overgrazing and other【小题8】 (problem) threaten an additional 115,000 square miles, fueling very cruel and 【小题9】(violence) sandstorms that regularly blast cities like Beijing and Dunhuang. Many scientists are feeling doubt that planting trees will make a difference in 【小题10】 long run. But China’s State Forestry Administration claims the measure has reduced sandstorms by 20 percent and desertification by nearly 5,000 miles in recent years.
