　　Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella (伞). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he said, and needed taxi-fare(出租汽车费) to go back home. My mother didn't believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But she finally believed the man and gave him the pound. She was happy to have a good umbrella for so little. But the old man didn't get into a taxi. We walked after him and found he went into a pub(小酒店) and bought himself a glass of whiskey(威士忌) with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after that, he sold it again.

　　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 we had a sandstorm last week, I had to get up half an hour earlier so I wouldn't be late for school,’said Xing Wei, a Junior 1 boy at Yaohua Middle School in Tianjin．

　　Xing usually gets up at about seven and needs 20 minutes to get to school．But on sandstorm day, he needs 40 minutes．When the sky is dark with sand, buses and cars all move much more slowly．Sometimes, people can't even see for 200 metres．

　　Sandstorms usually happen in spring．This year, sandstorms started in late Match．They have happened in more than 10 provinces in northern China this year．More than 70 million people have had problems in those places because of the storms．

　　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 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(哮喘)．

　　Sandstorms also give farmers lots of problems．Sometimes their sheep get lost in the storms and never get back home．The winds also tear farmers' houses down．

　　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 danger of sandstorm, and ask your government to stop them from cutting．
